What's your oldest firearm?

[transitsc]

M96 Swedish Mauser made in 1909.

 

[Workin Man]

My oldest is a BSA built No1 MkIII Lee Enfeild dated 1915. Next would be a 1943 Longbranch No4 MkI*, or a Husqvarna built M98 that I don't know the build date on.

My oldest rifle has to be my Winchester 1886 manufactured in 1895. The other rifles in the picture are from the top....the 1886, an 1892 chambered in 25-20 manufactured in 1915, an 1894 30-30 manufactured in 1906, and the 1895 that I sold, it is 30-40 manufactured in 1915. I've had a couple of older rifles, a Swiss Veterlis, as well as a .577 Snider, but I've sold those as well.

I have a Savage 1899 made in 1902. I also have an M95 Steyr that may be older, but I don't know when it was manufactured.

1860 Colt. - dan

 

[Killer Kanuck]

Right now, probably my Marlin model 1893 in 38-55 made in early 1893 (I know it was early because it doesn't have the 1893 patent date on the barrel, or MODEL 1893 written on the tang. Although I never dated the Remington model 1899 12 gauge side by side I have.

1892 Lee Metford is the oldest that I know of.
There is a Steven's Favorite 22RF there that my Great Uncle's Dad brought up from Wisconsin when they moved in 1906(?) There is no way to track the age that I have found so it could be anyone's guess. He had it long before they moved.
Have a 25-36 Marlin Model 1892, built in 1902 there as well.

P14 Eddystone Enfield made in 1916. Previous owner Bubba'd the stock but it shoots just fine.

 

[kombi1976]

Have a 25-36 Marlin Model 1892, built in 1902 there as well.

Can you form brass for 25-36?
Is it kinda like 25-35?

 

[Claven2]

Currently mine's a Swedish Carl Gustaf rolling block in 8x58R made in 1873.

Do you still shoot it, Claven?

[Clead]

I have an all-original (as far as I can tell... it has about 20% finish left) Winchester Model 12 30" Full plain grade that dates to 1917. Got it for $125 from Lock Stock and Barrel here in B.C. .

I have been told many times you can do so. This one has yet to be fired, but we have a bunch loaded up (25-35win) to fireform and see how it works.
The rifle needs a fron sight blade to help with accuracy a bit.
