To keep with the previous trend. What is the oldest gun you own, that you don't shoot? Mine is the first post.

I own a flintlock pistol [1811 on the Miquel lock plate]. With a crest of the Hapsberg Empire on the handle.

I have an old Browning A5 Shotgun that is the oldest shotgun I own. the oldest rifle, I am not sure how to check the age but I have a 30-40 Kraig, and a couple old German Mausers that my Grandfather picked up in WWII. Again I am not sure which is older but both are really cool, functional guns. I also have an old Trap door 45/70 that is not functional but has a cool story behind it.

Is that anything like the Habsburg empire?

WAM Why yes it is. Thank you for the spell check +1

I have a flintlock rifle that was made in 1776 that has a lot of history behind it that has been passed down through the family and luckily has stayed intact and great condition.

I have pistol my grandfather brought back from WWII.

My great-grandfather's beat-up Italian-made (an obscure brand) double. It has exposed hammers, a straight stock and damascus barrels. In true european fashion, it was made for a sling. It was headed for the trash. I really believe it was my great-great's gun, because the great mostly used a Parker his son had bought for him. Despite the many pheasants in NY at the time; the old timers really loved shooting rabbits the most.

IND_NRA, interesting indeed!

The "oldest" I have is my dbl gun given to me by a great uncle. I have some other pieces that are pretty old. Believe it was built in the 30's.

I have an Astra pistol that I believe is pre WW II that I have never shot, only because I'm not sure if it's safe. My oldest rifle is from 1952 but I shoot it quite often.

[Pmacc60]

I have an old flintlock date unknown and Parker with damascus barrels.

Black powder cartridge 22 my grandfather carried when he carried the payroll in early 1900’s.

The oldest gun we own is a jc higgens model 60 shotgun. It is about 60 years old. We do still shoot it, but it had feeding issues.
