I’m not a vintage gun guy, but my son is. He fools around a bit on the Reddit threads but I’ve told him that, by and large, Reddit sucks.

Reddit usernames/posts often wink in and out, and one has a hard time ascertaining the reliability and accuracy of info given there.

➡️ Can you dudes recommend me some good forums out there on post-black powder rifles? I don’t know where else to ask this question and cannot quickly evaluate a forum’s quality.

He likes guns in the Krag .30-40 and 1883 trapdoor Springfield timeframe (the more complicated the loading mech, the better for him lol).

Btw, his interest in this area started via Battlefield 1, the WWI video game. The game is quite fun, and the ammo loading sequences are apparently accurate. Just by playing that game he can manipulate old rifles in the gun stores! He is over 18yrs old, btw.
 
Doesn’t the CMP have a forum and talk about old guns as well?

I’ve bought from the CMP, but never registered for the forum so not sure if there is any kind of special requirement to join it
