What's your oldest firearm?

My Webley Mk VI is dated 1919. My main hunting rifle is a late production Lee Enfield No.4 Mk 2. (I'm not completely against new guns - I have bought two brand new - but we haven't finished shooting all good old ones yet.)

my oldest gun is a Mossberg 46B .22 my grandfather bought in 1938, other than that they're all 30 years or newer.:)
 
oldest gun

Mine is a 1937 Mod 98 Mauser converted from 8mm Mauser to 8mm-06.
It's too bad bubba got to this one before I found it because it has a three digit serial number with S/243 on the receiver and all matching numbers. :mad: There is three small swastikas on the receiver that are still intact and the blueing is nice too.:eek:
I wanna find bubba and smack him a couple of times............:slap:
 
I think my shotgun was made in 1942, Lefever by Ithaca side-by-side type,
as for rifles, Mosin Nagan 1941.
 
Oldest Firearm

I have a Long Land Pattern Bess that has been converted to Percussion.
The next one would be a Civil War Maynard Calvery Percussion Carbine.
Also have a CW Spencer rifle, Springfield 1840 carbine, and some Enfield muzzle loaders, and Sniders.
 
Oldest Firearm

Well,
I have a beautiful Peabody from the latter 1800s and 2 old English doubles, from the same time period (one with fabulous 34" barrels!), but no pics of these since they're back at the family home.
The next oldest, which I intend to use this fall come deer season, is my newly acquired Winchester 1886 in 40-65WCF. Can't wait to start doing some shooting!

1863 sharps. It was one of thirty thousand converted to cartridge to I think 50/70 , now it is 45/70. Thats what I was told when I bought it the way it is now.
 
Oldest Usable:Winchester Model 1907 .351WSL made in 1908
Oldest Usable Bubbaed: Model 1896/38 Mauser made in 1900 that has had a peep sight added to the rear. A future project to restore.

Husky 270 60's? M98 action so 1898 technology. :)
