The oldest firearm you own

[monotonous_iterancy]

Do you guys ever shoot these 130 year old guns? If you do, are they still accurate and reliable?

mono, Here is a 50 yard target 5 shot group with 44-40 from a Marlin Model 1894 manufactured in 1895.


I'm still working on the load and bullet diameter, but it is very fun to shoot.


I think Flashcube's French Mle. would be a whole lot of fun. and they are 43 years older then my Marlin.

I have a Colt Automatic Calibre 25. I think it goes back to 1910.

I have a M1917 Enfield, barrel date of February 1918. Shoots well enough to keep on fighting, almost 100 years after it was made...


It really is amazing how durable firearms are, especially when compared to most other consumer goods.
