I was bitten by the old black powder cartage gun bug a few years ago, so have a few around the same date, all in the 1870s. Vetterli, Beaumont, Swedish RB, and a Snider. I do load for a 3 others my brother has, that I do not. I shoot and load for them all, but must credit "You Tube" for that as I'm not smart enough to figure that out for my-self.
J.Henry and Son. 1860. .41 caliber, double set trigger, tube sight. Very good condition.
I have an 03 Springfield that I inherited. It was my Grandpas hunting rifle and I have killed 2 deer with cast boolits in it.
Also have a 1917 Eddystone that we picked up at a garage sale one year cheap

A Mosin M91 model dated 1895. Came out of the Rus. arsenals.

I guess my oldest is an 1873 Winchester chambered in 44 WCF. The SN dates it in the 1880's. I bought it at the Tulsa Gun Show a little while before Cowboy Action Shooting really took off.
1898 Krag carbine
1895 Chilean Mauser (DWM) circa 1896
#5 Remington Rolling Block circa 1902 (rebarreled to .45-70)
1909 Argentine Mauser (DWM) circa 1910
All are 'shooters' that find their way to the range several times a year.
A WWI (or maybe pre-WWI) Steyr Mannlicher M 1890 Carbine, straight-pull bolt action. My grandfather acquired it sometime around WWI. memtb
Ruger Bisley 45 Colt.
1920's Winchester 94 src in 32 spl. And a Remington model 17A 20 ga pump gun I believe is also 20's vintage . The action on that shotgun is like and ice cube on glass smooth

1. 1879 Remington/Argentine Rolling Block Carbine, .43 Spanish Cal.
2. 1888 (71/84) Mauser, 11.15x60R Mauser Cal.
3. T/C Hawken (Really only about 50 years old, but a replica of something much older....)
Manhattan Firearms , 36 cal. cap and ball , Navy Revolver Series IV , 1865 .
That's 155 years old . There were a brace of two pistols with black military style flap holsters .
My Grandfather lent one to a man to kill a hog ...he never got it back .
So I have the one revolver , holster and no belt .
Never lend guns to people ... chances are they will just keep them .

My oldest is a 1900 vintage 98 Krag action nestled into much newer parts. Then a 1914 Remington m8 .30 Rem. Then a 12 gauge NR Davis and Sons SxS from the 1920s. Then a 1920s Oviedo 93 Mauser action nestled into much newer parts- everything else is 80 years old or younger.

I have a few oldies...
Im thinking my oldest is a 22 Stevens Favorite my Grandfather played with as a boy. He past some years back was born just after 1900. Its in pretty good shape outside. Inside the barrel is very dark with no reminance of rifling. Many BP shells fired threw it I presume. Near as I can tell, it is1800's late Manufacturer.
