The oldest rifle that I own & shoot is a 1880 Remington Rolling Block #1 in .22LR (,22s were black powder then..).
The second oldest is a 1882 built (model 1878), JP Lower Sharps Borchardt that was one of the last to leave the factory. Although the rifle was 95% new condition, it is currently sporting a Green Mountain .45-90 barrel and will compete in the National Creedmoor Championship in Raton, NM in July...... this rifle will often hold about a foot at 1000 yards with iron sights.. Pretty amazing what a 130 year old rifle with black powder & a cast lead 560 grain bullet will do! |

I don't even know what you would call it - it is so old the stamping on the barrel is unreadable. Its a breach-loading .22 rifle.

Fucntioning? My father's 16-gauge pump from when he was a youth, 50+ years old. As for non-functioning, I have an old lever-action buffalo gun. I've been told it was the *second* lever-action introduced, the sharps beat it out.
