The oldest gun you use

[trapper704]

I have a few but my wife packs my old new police colt 32-20, when ever were out in the woods. We shoot a lot of black powder guns mostly repos but 2 original, have no idea the age.

I used my Winchester Model 1893 for many years, as did my father and, before him, my grandfather. It was only a few years ago that I discovered it was actually a 93, which is a black powder only frame. It has been retired until I load some black powder shells. I do, however, frequently shoot a 1911 made in 1914. It is from the first production run of 1911s by the US Armory at Springfield, still a good shooter, and in great condition. I sometimes shoot my 1881 Marlin in 45-70, a good old shooter. Still have a few Trapdoors, but haven't shot them since the 1960s.

[DWFAN]

1905 First Change that someone converted for concealed carry a very long time ago. Single and double action are like butter and I modified a set of targets for it.
The other is my 1918 Steyr in 7MM Mauser that still shoots lights out at 150 yards all day long. More ammo goes down range with these guns than any other I own and I carry the .38 a lot.

I still bird hunt with Grandpa's Parker Trogan 12G circa 1917. Some day it will belong to my Grand Son.

The oldest one that I shoot most often is a WWI Enfield P14. I cannot recall what year it was made but 1916 rings a bell. The oldest gun I own that I have fired is an Argentine 1909 Long Rifle that was probably built 1910-11. 7.65 Mauser has a distinctive voice in that gun and certainly makes the AR owners on the line look up.

Oldest Gun

Rifle: Father's pre64 M70 Fwt 270 restocked w/ Brown's Precision.

Pistol: Colt Officer's Target(or Match) 3rd ed 38 spl. Possibly the most accurate pistol I own but it doesn't fit my big hands.

 

[LedFowl]

I take this mid-1960s Walther PP to the range every few months. Worn, but still a good shooter.

My deer rifle, an M94 Swede, was made in 1894-5.

 

[Doug627]

1929 Savage 99G in 300 Savage for deer hunting in West Virginia. It has an old 4X Weaver scope on it. It still knocks the deer DRT.

 

[Imshootin]

1931 Savage 99 takedown model in 300 Savage.

 

[LOBO]

M&P pre-10 from 1946...

 

[TAROMAN]

If use includes recreational target shooting, then It would have to be my 1891 Mauser Modelo Argentino.
DWM manufactured in 1895.

 

[Jebus35745]

I shoot a M&P from abt 1908. The bbl was cut with a hack saw so I customized it for the yearly 8 week double action match. Now its a long action PPC gun for DA shooting. Larry

 

[pilgrim6a]

My '96 Krag carbine is the oldest.[sorry, no pics]
Next is the .44 HE Model of 1926 [1928 I think].

K22 & K38 [1948]

.38 M&P [1950].

 

[A10]

1932 '94 Winchester, and a mid-20's store brand .410 single. I also have a Winchester Model 10 that's old, but I've never looked it up...

 

[storeyteller]

Winchester model 42 .410 circa. 1950

 

[Straightshooter2]

A circa 1930 Springfield Arms (Savage/Stevens) Model 50 Springfield Jr. single shot .22LR that belonged to my grandfather. When the bolt is worked, it moves the back half of the bolt to the rear just far enough that the firing pin is off the rim of the cartridge and then it's hand cocked to fire. The barrel is about half shot out of it but it's still fairly accurate.
