As an adaptation of the oldest gun you own thread, What is the oldest gun you still shoot?
As for me, I usually get the old Trapdoors out at least once a year to keep them happy. One long rifle, and one saddle ring carbine from the South Caroline State Militia (and marked as such). Also on the once a year schedule are the Winchester Models of 1873 (1), 1892 (4), 1894 (2 but they're not old enough to worry about, both pre-64).
On a regular basis (about once a month on average) the oldest I shoot is a Winchester M1917 made in April 1918. It's still in the original configuration, with all original parts, including the barrel.
The oldest I own, in shooting condition, and want to shoot but haven't, is an old muzzle loading 8 gauge double barrel with IIRC 36" barrels. I've always wanted to fire it off at a dove shoot.
