    I've had this 22 the longest. Got it for Christmas in 1969.
    The shotgun on the bottom is the oldest. It was my Grandpas, from the mud-50's

      single shot Iver Johnson 32 gauge shotgun from my great uncle's chicken farm in Stockton. I found shells for it from Fiochi.

        Yea.. ran the serial # to get the date.. and someone into older guns told me about the grips being later, but pretty desirable.

        For 112 it's in great shape, but to be honest I'm concerned to shoot it since I know the loads were pretty light back then.

        I got it on Calguns for.. $100.. how could I have NOT bought it! lol

              Very cool, had to look that one up and watch the Forgotten Weapons episode on it.
              Hard to believe it held 5 rounds.

              My oldest is a 1880 Russian Berdan II infantry rifle.

                  Yeah, I'd like to have at least 5 or 6 of those rounds, but last I checked a few years back a collectors "box" was about 1200.00. I think the rounds are .32 extra shorts rim-fire but it's been a while since I read up on it.

                  Functions well too.

                  Respectfully.

                        Mk IV Martini-Henry 577/.450





                        I suspect that my Martini-Enfield is actually older than the Mk IV as it is built on a Mk II receiver but the original date was scrubbed off at the rebuild at the Citadel arsenal in 1902.

                          My oldest one is 70, or will be shortly. Of course, it doesn't shoot any longer, not even blanks.

                            A few of my oldest:
                            - Winchester mod. 03 mfg. in 1904. Uses Winchester .22 Automatic. This is the only firearm that uses this cartridge so ammo is not very plentiful. Every once in awhile, Aguilar makes a special run. I was able to get a brick of recent manufactured ammo from Aguilar a few years ago.

                            - WWI issue 9mm Luger mfg. in 1918
                            - Ithaca double barreled 12 Ga shotgun mfg in 1924
                            - Winchester 1894 in .30 WCF (30-30) mfg. in 1950
                            - Colt Woodsman mfg. in 1951
                            - M1 Garand mfg in 1954
                            - Winchester mod. 63 mfg. in 1959

                            There is something about taking my oldest firearms out to the range that makes me want to smile.

                                Man some of you guys have some old guns.

                                Mine is a Winchester 1894 made in 1941.
