I have a few over 100 years old. I started off as a type 3 license collector so that isn't really much of a thing. The oldest I have taken game with would be a 1943 M1Garand rifle.

I just came down to our cabin, and while looking around I realized that I do have an older firearm than what I previously showed. It’s an early 1860s Civil War musket that’s non-operable, but definitely my oldest.

I have my Great Grandfather’s Winchester model 94 that was made in 1897, caliber 30WCF. It’s the rifle, not the carbine. I’ve killed a few bucks and dozens of pigs with it. The story that came with the rifle was it came to California from Missouri in the back of a wagon before the turn of the century.

Sweet!!

It's my grandfather's Parker 12 gauge side-by-side he bought off a Sears Roebuck catalog for 55 and gave it to his son who gave it to me.
I'll someday pass it on to my grandson:

I have a single shot Remington 22 that was only built from 36-39, that’s the oldest one I know of. No option for a scope and it will still shoot minute of squirrel if the shooter can

Remington Model 12, 22 rimfire before they put model numbers on rifle serial # puts it as mfg in spring of 1909
These were my uncles rifles from when he was a boy, not sure who he inherited them from, possibly his grandfather.
