Another old one from the collection. This is a Model 1896 Krag Carbine. This one is actually dated 1895 and so was made before odoption of the official designation of Model 1896 Carbine. I have a letter on it. It was sold to the public by the Raritan Arsenal, Metuchen, NJ, between July 15 and July 31st, 1922 for the princely sum of $5. I was disappointed that there was no other known provenance such as a Rough Rider Carbine, but oh the stories I am sure it would tell if it could.

colt M1877 "Thunderer" right around 1900 but does not work was my grandads oldest one that still works is my pair of colt new service models one form about 1914 the other the 20's both still work.

My oldest is an old Persian Miquelet flinlock. 18/19th century. Similar to these but not as fancy, got it in an auction.

Stevens junior 22. 1907 I think.

I believe my oldest is also vintage 1907. Winchester M92 carbine in 25-20.....bought by my great-grandfather and passed down through the generations.

I had an 1893 Mosin but sold it recently. I have an 1895 Mosin but it's boxed up waiting on the money order to arrive.

I have a Forehand & Wadsworth DA revolver. It doesn't have a serial number but the last year they used the grips on it was 1898.

7x57 Chilian Mauser the ink stamp on the stock says 1895. Shoots great, long and heavy but really sweet.

My oldest gun is a harpers ferry my Wife inherited from her grandfather, it has 1851 stamped on the receiver .

1903 Colt pocket pistol .32 ACP made in 1905. Slick little pistol.

My oldest is a Stevens 325-C .30-30. It was my grandmother's hunting rifle and was made between 1947 and 1950.
My next oldest is a Remington Speedmaster 550-1 .22 that was my dad's first gun, made in 1959.

Remmington model 4, rolling block, 22lr single shot, early 1900's

Oldest is an 1850's Belgian made pinfire shotgun 16ga SxS. I don't know the exact date, but with the proof marks and barrel stampings that's the closest I can come to. I even have some old pinfire hulls which were never loaded.

The oldest I still have are my father's Mod 11 Remington 20gauge
he purchased when he got back from the first WW...and a Mod 11 12
ga. w/safety in the front of the trigger guard that I bought..both are not too far from a 100, and both still function
perfectly...The 20's bbl is a little thin because he used to shoot 2 cases, not flats, of shells min. every year...and that included black powder..he also cleaned it regularly..I traded my
grandpa's Rem Rolling Block 16 to the Western Auto guy in Liberty
when I was a kid for some cap pistols...Gramps blew off his fingers dbl loading it to shoot a hawk...DD

Early 50's Browning light twelve my grandfather bought new, still shoots perfect. 1969 parker hale 30-06 and an early 70's Rem 700 22-250 my grand father also bought new and hardly ever shot them. Neither one of them have any handling marks or a ding in the wood anywhere.

I've got a Belgium made 1880's circa 12ga SxS with external hammers. Bought it from a guy whose great grandfather was the original owner. Said the gun had been used on everything from "Cowboys and Indians to Bucks and Ducks". Was actually miffed at him for selling it rather than keeping it in the family, but I guess some folks have no sentimental value. Looks great hanging on my wall.

Also have a 1917 Model Stevens .22 that was owned by my grandpa. Can guarantee it will never leave the family.

Oldest gun that still gets used is a 1949 Savage Model 99 in .300 Savage. Was my wifes grandfathers elk gun, and it still get’s taken pig and deer hunting on a regular basis.

I've got a peep sight single shot .22lr/short that was given to one of my uncles in the 40's don't know when it was made yet.

Winchester Mod 54 in .06 circa 1931, my wife's grandaddy's gun.

I have a Winchester Model 1873 in 32 WCF that I am trying to find out more about. I need to get around to researching the serial number to see if I can get an idea of when it may have been produced.

my oldest at the moment is a Circa 1907 Remington Model 8 in 35 rem.

Mine doesn't seem very old after looking at evrybody else's. Late 1944 or early 1945.

And a tang peep sight, I like that.

1886 Colt .45 single action and a 1914 winchester 30-30.

1873 winchester in original condition in 32-20 or something like that

Remington rolling block 22.... not sure when it was made, but great grandpa bought it in 1902.

Canadian fur trapper era muzzle loader. Probably in good enough condition to shoot, but I'm a wuss......
