Oldest gun you have?

[JohnVH]

Just striking up convo, whats the oldest you have? I have one with a receiver over 100 years old, a 1903 springfield I inherited from my grandfather, low number, built in 1908, my dad shot his first deer with it.  Pics?

I hunt with a 1900 16ga SxS. I have a heap of nice shotguns to choose from and it is my go to gun. I love it.

A 7.7 Jap Arisaka one of my uncles brought back from WW II when he was in the Navy.  Got a bayonet with it, too.

It may not be the oldest, but...

I have my dad's Rem. 760 pump.  According to the serial # it is one of the first 100 .300 Savages produced in that model.  It still holds 1-1.5 in groups all day long if you do your job.

1933 hex receiver Mosin Nagant, I refinished it, shimmed the trigger, changed the buttplate out for a recoil pad and have since shot it quite a bit on a few occasions. Recoil is pretty mild as the gun is fairly heavy and uses a relatively low velocity cartridge, very reminiscent of shooting an old mauser.

I have a Manton and Son double barrell (inherited, been in the family since it was new) that as far as we have been able to research, dates back to 1852

Borrowed both photos off the web.

Grandpa's, then Dad's now mine.  Savage 219  30-30.  I also have a 20 gauge barrel for it.  The fit and finish are incredible.  I called Savage when I brought it home after Dad died.  All they could say was it was made sometime in the late 1940's.


I also bought an Ithaca Model 37 16ga a few years back, made in 1952.

And there's the Winchester Model of 1917, found at an Estate Sale with a box of other stuff, paid about $26 for it.  Pretty good shape too.  Along with a J.P. Sauer & Sohn Model 1913 7.65mm  (.32ACP) with the origianl holster

My Great Grandfathers Winchester model 1892 in 38 WCF.   Manufactured in 1893.  My Grandfather had it bored into a 44-40, because it was shot out! Three generation back have killed deer with this rifle.  I've retired this gun to my safe!
