How many of your guns are over 100?

Three. A 1912 BSA SMLE and a FN1900 with a 1907 serial number. Shoot them both. Also a Forehand & Wadsworth Russian spur-trigger .32 rimfire from the 1880’s. I fitted a new mainspring to it but I’ve never even seen a round of .32 rimfire, never mind shot one.
Well, this is what they look like. A 22 for comparison. Don't know why the pic is sidewise. Guess my I-phone is drunk again.

If you want to give that new mainspring a workout, shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you a box of fifty..Free. Call it an early Christmas present. I can't shoot it in my #2, anyway. That gun has an oversize chamber and I don't like gas in the face.

I have a Savage Sporter model 21A--22lr, my uncle gave it to me when I was 6 years old, serial #34K, so if not 100 years old pretty close. I took it to the range two weeks ago (got lost in the safe) and shot it for the first time. I hit the target at 50 yds--not bad for 100 years old (or close to that).
 
None of them. Actually, only one is even in it's 40's, a 1971 S&W 28-2 6".
Next oldest one is from around 1980 or so, then there is a pack of them from the later 80's-early '90's. .
