I have the same rifle so my oldest is also from 1884. (wish I also had a 1873 lol)

1918 98 Mauser

The oldest firearm I own is from 1951. I prefer to buy newer stuff so it won't be so hard to find parts if something goes wrong. Sure there are some weapons that are older that have parts available. I just prefer newer stuff. Most of my guns are from the 1980's and newer.

I have a Savage Model 3A, it was my grandfathers, made in 1933.

71 year old Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I

I have the rifle that my great great great grandfather carried when he walked here from Ohio in 1852. It is a .40 flintlock that was later converted to caplock. You can see the hammer marks in the barrel where it was forged. I have the rifle that belonged to his son too.

Pierce target rifle/ sniper??



Daniel Ball Bank token rear aperture sight dates to the 1850's



Still competive in the early-mid 1900's and I love to shoot it today

Outstanding, ty for sharing such a beautiful piece of history.

I'll have to look up a 2 piece swagged bullet, very accurate.

I was supposed to get a 1814 flintlock from my uncle. He said he would will it to me but instead he left everything to his new wife. I didn't care that she got his fortune (which he also promised me) but I would have liked to have had that rifle just because my uncle taught me a lot about life including a lot about firearms. He sold my brother a Mossberg shotgun for $5 after dad said he couldn't give it to him because he was too young. My brother said he'd like to buy it and dad said if he had enough money to buy it then it was his business. He had $5. The shotgun was one of many guns dad owned and my brother didn't take it with him when he got married and moved out. So after a while my dad gave it to me. He believed in the six month rule. If you didn't claim it in 6 months it was his and he would either give it away or throw it away. He didn't like to keep stuff for long. But he knew I needed protection and I used that shotgun for HD for 20 years or more.

When I talked to my uncle in the past few years all we talked about was guns. I guess he must have told me 1000 times to never give up my guns for any reason. I told him I learned that when I was a kid but he wanted to make sure it stuck I guess. He didn't have to worry though. From my cold dead fingers and all that.

If muzzle loaders count, a civil war musket. North side.

If not, I will have to check my paperwork when I get home, but I'm sure it's a savage 1904 22 rifle

Plasti, all i can say is wow!!! That's a fine rifle

Thank u, for the interest in 2 part swaged bullet look up black powder slug guns

Mosin Nagant 91/30 1933 Hex all matching numbers.

Oldest known age rifle is my mosin nagant hex receiver stamped 1929.

I thought a 1929 would be a hex receiver.

It is. The receiver is in the bottom 1/8 of the picture. The Russians/Soviets stamped the date/mfg/serial on the barrel.
