What's the oldest gun you own.... that still get used once in awhile
Mine would be an old "hardware grade" SxS 12guage that dates from 1906-1915
Oldest HG would be a WaltherPP (1964)... yeah.. not that old really.
Oldest rifle would be a Long Branch Lee Enfield 1943

I have a Ruger Single Six that I got about 25 years ago. (and it was used when I got it)
Also have an Enfield No.5 in great condition that still shoots great!

At first I didn't know if you meant the oldest gun, or the one that I have had the longest (idea for another post??).

It's a toss-up between my Colt 1903 pistol and my Browning A5 (I was told it was pre-WWI, but I don't know anything about it). It has the solid rib barrel and the older style safety, in the front of the trigger guard.

Smith and wesson No2.

No clue when they were made. but definately the oldest in the collection

I guess my 1898 Swedish Mauser is the oldest one. 2nd would be a 1909 vintage Springfield.

Posted: 3/26/2006 2:01:30 PM EDT

[#8]

1891 Argentine Mauser. Dated 1891

I also have an 1891 Nagant, dated 1896.

Both still shoot just as good as the day they were made.

Remington SportMaster 241 .22LR made between 1936 and 1938. Doesn't even have a S/N. Still shoots good too.

Quoted:
Winchester model 94 saddlering carbine, made in 1897

I was impressed to see a guy with the same gun shoot a 4-6" group at 50yrds.
Impressed me given the age of the rifle and the technology available at the time to build it!

That would be a Springfield Trapdoor, 50/70 Second Allin Conversion. Origional 1864 rechambered to the 50 cal cartridge in 1866. Three band stock. Complete with [not origional] bayonete. When I shoot this at the range in Oak Ridge, it always draws a crowd.
This is the only rifle that I reload for.

A Remington model 12 pump action .22. I don't know it's actual age, but it has to be just about the oldest gun I own. And it's certainly the one I've owned the longest.

I have a Tula hex receiver MN 91/30 but I forget the year it was made. I shoot it once in a while.

The oldest gun that gets regular exercise is my Oct. 1943 Springfield M1 Garand.

Posted: 3/26/2006 2:51:33 PM EDT

Oldest gun that still get used, a Colt 1911 A1 made in 1942.

Posted: 3/26/2006 2:51:54 PM EDT

[#23]

My Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11 made in 1899. It's deadly accurate and capable of MOA groups at 100 yards with Swiss match ammo. In addition, it has some of the finest workmanship of any gun that I own. When I want to marvel the craftsmanship of a firearm, this is the gun in my collection that I pick up. And....it only cost me $275.

My oldest handgun is this 1896 Broomhandle Mauser made in 1914.

That would be my 1906 Colt revolver Cal. 45LC and stamped US Government Property. The Cyl. look as if it has been replaced or reblued. I think it was a old Post Office gun. Brought that beauty 26 years ago for $50, complete with a box of ammo marked at $3.95 for 50 rounds. The old gentleman I brought it from ahd brought from a sporting goods store in the 50's for $25. One of the best shooter I have and I don't have a clue what it is worth.
The Next is a ESSEX 12ga side by side, give away guns to farmers for spending x number of dollars with the Essex hardware company.

Webley MK II, circa 1890. It was originally .455 Webley, but the cylinder's been shaved to take .45 ACP in half-moon clips.

A Browning Light 12 that my Dad got when my older brother was 5 (He's now 57). The gun looks great but by no means is it a safe queen.
