What is the oldest gun you own?

[David LaPell]

At this moment it would have to be my 1940's era .32-20 Smith & Wesson M & P revolver, but I have put a down payment on a 1888 Commission Mauser that was made in 1891.

 

[28Shooter]

My current oldest is a Model 1917 (M17) made by Eddystone. What a great old rifle!

 

[RobertJ.]

This Colt New Service in .45 Colt, made in 1916.

 

[Major Mike]

My oldest is a percussion Kentucky rifle .36 cal octigonal barrel half stock my granddad gave me. Probably dates from circa 1840's.
Oldest I shoot is a 1881 trapdoor carbine. Sweet shooter

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Don't have many old ones left. Gave them to my family. Still have my 1926 Colt. S.A. 44. And my 1942 model 94 Win. 30-30 that I took my first buck with in 1953. I once owned a Model 94 Win. 38-55 T.D. serial # 312. Oh yeah, a S&W Prewar 22-32 Target & it's a good shooter.

Three digit SN Triple Lock, shipped March of 1908. It was beat to heck, and I had it restored, so it's a shooter now. Remington 12C, 1916.

The oldest gun in my inventory is a U.S. Model 1816 flintlock musket (Springfield Armory second variation - browned). The lockplate shows a date of 1826. A little before my time...

[james56]

Oldest at present for me is this S&W Model One and Half shipped 1871. Thrift Shop Find.

 

[pilgrim6a]

U.S. Model 1896 Krag Carbine. The ser.# says a feller carried it up some hill in Cuba. It'll still put 3rds in an inch at 100 yds.
The next oldest is my .44 HE 3rd model, ser. #29XXX. Late 1920s I think. It shoots great when I can see.
