I have around 13 milsurps, from a Sharps carbine to an IHC Garand, older than my 62 years. Several shot guns and a couple of hand guns also.

I only have one gun older than me. Stevens 58, single shot, bolt action 410, 1933-1943. But, I have several guns older than most people here that I bought new. That should tell you something.

I have 2 both older than me I passed 70 a few years ago and both of these still shoot as good as the day they were made.

My oldest rifles date to the late 1860's, and most are 1870-1880's era. The exact amount I'm unsure of without counting them? But all are in shooting condition, and I make brass, or reform brass to be able to shoot them all.

I'm 67.
Of the 114 complete firearms. 93 are older than I am.
2 of the newer ones don't work properly.
-I've got a lot of spare parts that I don't count, of course... .

Had a Savage 99 that was younger than me by three weeks, made in February 1951. I had my grandpa’s double barrel 12 gauge that he bought in the late 1800’s. A Colt 1911 my neighbor carried in WW II. All are gone.

"How many usable guns do you have that are older than you?"

Several. And, they all still work just fine.

I have an M1 Garand from November 1944, and a Glock 21 gen 2 from September 1993. I was born in 1996.
