I once had a Stevens Crackshot given to me, it was heavily pitted, inaccurate and definitely unique looking. Advertised as a boy's rifle - if I remember correctly it was from about 1916 (could be wrong). Takedown too.
Sadly, I sold it (my first gun sale) to a collector in the Maritimes. I really regret that now as it just looked right.

For you smarter gun nutz that keep and collect these types of rifles, I ask you - show me the oddities and oldies you have.

Dont have any pics yet but I have a Henry Martini dated 1874 that was rebarrelled to 22lr with a 30in barrel. Currently in getting the front bead replaced as it was broken off. Seriously fun gun to shoot. FYI the date is 2 yrs before Custer met his Waterloo at Little Big Horn. I was looking at an old Winnie 1903(?) at the last gun show in Burnaby and may go back to see if it is still around. Mag feeds thru stock not the tube. Weird-like the Browning.
 
walther model 1 with Brit proof marks, from the condition it looks like it was in England since it was new in the mid 1930's....runs like a top tho.....
 
My Winchester Model 62A:

While it was made in 1940, I think it is in keeping with the spirit of this thread. I mounted a Marbles tang sight and a Skinner front post sight.
 
My Savage rimfires:

Now that's what I'm talking about

Cool .22's, odd looking too!
Great stuff - I like the 1st and 2nd the best
 
I've got a pre-WW2 winchester 62, been through three generations of my family so far, tens of thousands of rounds put through it by my grandpa, dad, and I. I hope one day to hand it down to my kids, I've shot, and owned alot of other .22s, but when it's time for a gopher hunt, I almost always reach for that old 62.
 
I.j. Star vest pocket

Iver was making these little guys BEFORE forming the company that bore the name Iver Johnson. It's believed he made about 1000 between 1870 and 1890. The few marked with STAR VEST POCKET, like this one, are considered the most rare.

Got this little guy from an online auction in another state for under $100. Still works but has a small sliver missing from the back of each rosewood grip.

I reckon the little feller would kill someone as dead as a brand new .45acp... ;)

I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans!
 
I don't know if this qualifies, but it's a lovely old Winchester Mod.68. Though at some point sling swivels were added, it's not been otherwise messed with, and it's in lovely shape with a beautiful bore.

You do not see the Win model 63's around as they cost two and a half the times of a Win model 62's. They were for the well off, or well heeled individual. Took me 18 years to locate myself one here in Canada!!! regards Dale in T-Bay:agree:
 
Crackshot

I don't have pictures - yet - but I inherited my great uncle's Steven's Crackshot 26. The rifling is almsot gone but it still shoots - I can hit a pop can at 20 yards.

The funny thing is, before I got it, I learned to soot on my buddy's grandmother's crackshot 26. She won it as a prize at the local fair in the mid nineteen - tens. Took many a grouse with that one. Perhaps that is why I love single shot 22's so much.
