I've got a soft spot for small ring Mausers. Spanish, Swedish, Mexican, Chilean, etc.

My buddy has a Sharps in 45-70. I love that gun. The ole "shoot today, kill tomorrow" rifle.

My most recent "old" gun was an Italian made F.A Gradoga Model 967 in .25auto.

I know it`s basically a pop gun, but it was a fun little pocket gun. It wasn`t very accurate of course, but a neat little piece for novelty reasons.

My favorite old gun is my Stevens Model 94C 16ga that was passed down from my grandmother to my father and eventually me.

I love me some old 1911s as well.

My favorite old gun is a 1931 Colt 38 Super 1911 that's been in my family four generations now with me.

Marlin 39a is a great gun, it feeds any .22 you put in the tube, short or long it doesn't matter. Very accurate and just a dream to shoot.

My Winchester 67A .22.

Bought it used when I was nine, 60 years ago, for $20.

Learned on it and must have put hundreds of thousands of rounds through it if not more.

My favorite is also a Winchester 67. I am the current holder of my grandfathers' that he bought in 1934 on his 10th birthday. It has been shot so much that the rifling has no edges, it is just rounded off. He cut the barrel down to @ 20" at some point and handfiled a new dovetail for the front sight. I make it a point to take it out after squirrels at least once a year.

I love milsurp rifles in particular Mausers. I have a 1940 K98 all numbers matching that I got for a really good price, because it needed a little work. It has been `duffle cut` and was missing the upper handguard and band spring. I've replaced the missing pieces, but still have to fix the stock. Best part is that it doesn't have any import marks and it still bears all its original markings. Very fun gun to shoot and it fits me perfectly. Kicks like a mule, but that's part of the fun!

 

[tacdriver]

Not the oldest firearm I have but I love my Remington 03A3.

It was my very first rifle, I brought it when I turned 16 for 250 dollars that I saved up from odd jobs over over the summer break

[CathyInBlue]

1866 Winchester "Yellow Boy"

Not because it had anything like spectacular performance numbers or quality traits. The fact that it's made of brass (actually bronze) instead of steel appeals to my Steampunk aesthetic. If I had a modern copy, I'd prolly just mount it on the mantle and leave it there.

 

[traderdan]

A skeet grade Winchester 20 gauge side by side, model 21.

Really? If so let me say that I am fighting envy...

Love my Ithaca Model 37 from 1956.

 

[IMPD31323]

Oooooo, this is a tuffy. Probably going to be my Colt 1903 32acp. But it's a hard choice between my forties Ithaca 37 20ga featherweight, savage 99 300 savage, High standard 107, Ithaca 37 trench gun, webley mark 5, cz 27, my my fox sterlingworths. So many choices with so little time in the day.

 

[Packrat67]

A Winchester 97 that was my Grandfathers. It put the meat on the table when my Dad was growing up

 

[drifter197]

Mosin Nagant for longer range rifle ,ak47 for up close rifle, first couple years of 870 for shotgun (love the wood grain look) and a dan wesson model 15 .357 for hand gun.
