What's the oldest gun you own ?

[Karl Hungus]

Great Grandfather's Baker side-by-side.

 

[donato]

Winchester model 1897, 12 ga. manufactured in 1914 or 1916, depending in which database you look up the serial number. Gun is still very functional although I no longer hunt with it.

 

[FiveFiveSixFan]

Colt 1911 circa 1918

 

[UnTainted]

I have a black powder pistol that my mother's ancestor carried before and during the American Revolutionary War. It IS a safe queen.

 

[Sauer Grapes]

1860 Colt Army Revolver, came from my father. My grandfather used to buy sherrif sale houses back in the 40's & 50's. It was in a box of old clothes left by old owners I presume. House also had a baby grand piano in it. Piano and pistol were worth more than the house.....lol.

 

[forgottenson]

My 1954 Russian SKS that I bought a couple of weeks ago.

 

[gripper]

1950 dated (Tula) SKS,blade bayo&laminate stock.
Unfortunately,when Ivan or Pavel rearsenaled it back in the Rodina;he must have hit the vodka already-the bayonet pin has been riveted.It i sfunctional,and I could brak/remove th erivet with the right tools and elbow grease;but it DOES bug me.
Oh,yeah;they also neglected to reinstall the safety spring-it is also functional;but does not "click"positively on and off.It works,and has no compromised funtion but it IS something I'd like to remedy.
Otherwise,a solid shooter with a (ssuprisingly )decent trigger pull.Not unusual to get 2.5 to 3 inch groups with my (declining) stash of Chicom steel core,or Yugo flat based ball.
