Re: New Member Introductions

Thanks ilian,
I note you are living in France. I spent some time in the past in France, and I am currently working in Algeria. In the 1980's I served in the 2ème Régiment étranger de Parachutistes, where I got my original taste for AK's while serving in Tchad and the Central African Republic.

Re: New Member Introductions

Evening all, well it is evening in the UK. In the mid to late 2000's, I was a member of the KBC forum, which I was a regular contributor, and I note a few familiar names on this board from the KCA forum. A few years back I drifted away from the collection, and prior to the introduction of the new EU...
