Title: i love 100 year old shotguns!
Post by: high country on December 06, 2011, 09:59:55 PM: I have had a couple banner days this week. Cali and I have thumped pheasants every trip. I am horrible at field pics, but I did capture my 1908 vintage 16ga. and a couple rooties.

Post by: TONTO on December 07, 2011, 08:49:54 PM: How about 60 year old shotguns? 1952 auto 5, it belonged to my late uncle, knocked this double down with it in oct. Sorry for the thread jack but gotta love the classics.

Post by: Helix on December 08, 2011, 05:36:33 PM: I've got a 115 year old winchester pump 12 ga I'd sell you for a good price. I can't vouch for the barrell as I've never fired it. Just throwing that out there in case. not trying to highjack the thread.

It's a Belgian guild gun....hand built with not a mark on it other than proof marks. I shoot 100-200 shells through it every year.
