[NG VI]

my oldest firearm of all, my S&W Model 28-2.
I actually bought it at the field I used to shoot at the very first time i took out my new-to-me S&W 586. which is beautiful. there was a guy waiting for his uncle to help him zero his .30-06, when the uncle showed up he asked if I or my friend wanted to buy a .357. so of course i say let's take a look!

made april 1955 ok?

Mine are all old. The oldest is a 120+ year old Webley. Then there are some turn of the century Iver Johnsons and H&Rs. My regular shooters are CZ 52s, an SKS, a K98k, and a slew of H&R .22s from the early 1950's. There's also a JC Higgins 12 gauge pump from God knows when.

My 2 enfields:

 

[foghornl]

Can't really count the modern repro blackpowder irons, so I won't mention them...

Oldest "modern" irons ('smokeless powder')
1954 Romanian M-44 Mosin-Nagant
1955 US Rifle Cal .30 M1
OLD Marlin 99 .22LR...no S/N
1962 or so Vintage Mossberg 500

Don't own it, but have shot a budd's lever-action .32-20 Been so long since I shot it (1973) I don't remember if it was a Marlin or Winchester, but that action was smoother than hot butter

 

[esq_stu]

S&W Model 1917 .45 ACP (mfg for Brazil in 1937) - great shooter

 

[jackstinson]

1954 Beretta 950B pocket pistol shot regularly and carried sometimes.
1955 Unique Model D Corsair sees a regular bit of range time.
1956 Astra 2000 gets shot a bit and carried too.
1957 JC Higgins Model 88 (Hi-Standard Sentinel) gets a weekly shooting.

 

[DC3-CVN-72]

A COLT model 357 , blue with a 4 in bbl. in .357 MAG. Same action as the Python. First yr. production, 1954.

 

[rcnixon]

Mine are a tie! I have an M-1903 SA made in 1918 with the original barrel and a 1911 made in 1918. The Colt is, I believe, a "Black Army Colt". It's the right age and S/N range but it was rebuilt at some time at "aa", the Anniston Army Depot.

1869 Flobert 22

like this one?



I fired it once. But I regularly shoot my 1884 trapdoor.

 

[cbsbyte]

1901 Swede Mauser. Shame on all of you that "bubbafied" your classic military arms. The horror.

 

[Richbaker]

1930-vintage Model 12...great piece!

 

[ChefJeff1]

French Unique pocket pistol .25 acp. Wll, I'd still shoot it if I could get a new firing pin for it.
