What is your oldest firearm?

[Q_Sertorius]

Pretty cool find though. About when did your grandfather find it?

About 1930-1935. He was between 10 and 15.

I posted in this thread earlier, but I have an update.

1869 Swedish Remington Rolling Block, chambered in 12.7x44R.


Its ultimate end state is going to be a BPCR silhouette rifle. I've got a long way to go to get it there.

I have a family heirloom.
Sixteen gauge "Elsie". S/N shows year of manufacture ss 1904.
Next is a Rrmington "Sportsman" 16 gauge.
Remington started building the 16 gauge Sportsman in 1932 and started with S/N S200000.
The S/N on my gun shows it to be one of the first 500 made! Chances are, the gun was actually "made" in 1931 and released to the public in 1932.
