I'm just curious, what's everybody's oldest, still-functioning firearm? I'll open the floor with my Enfield SHTLE III*, stamped 1916.

My Winchester Model 12 is my oldest working gun. By the patent dates, this one was built sometime in the 1920's.

Remington A-5. I just call it that because I'm sick of saying, "It's a Remington built off of the Browning A-5 patents." 1909

Fresnel OberFeldwebel Remington A-5. I just call it that because I'm sick of saying, "It's a Remington built off of the Browning A-5 patents." 1909 What's that on top? I don't see a trigger. Ted Williams .22 from Sears Roebuck. The trigger group, I think that's what you call it, wont stay on, someone lost the pins that hold it together. stare Not me, lol, my brother did. It was fixed by some gunsmith and the pin fell out while out in the field. Seems like an easy fix, except this time I'll use cotter pins to hold the pins in.

Mossberg 185K - 1949
That or the Stevens 820B. No idea on the date, but pre '68 and it seems like it was built....not up to today's standards. Works great though. biggrin

Inquisitor Brock OberFeldwebel Remington A-5. I just call it that because I'm sick of saying, "It's a Remington built off of the Browning A-5 patents." 1909I'd so take that Mauser off your hands. >.> But it's my Mauser... For what I paid for it and the stuff I bought for it, reproduction sling and bayonet I'd want $400. eek I might have the youngest too... My Tokarev is from 1953. As for a replacement Mosin stock, look on eBay or gun broker, sometimes people part out their rifles in the hopes of getting more money for it.

If I could find them, two 100+ year-old revolvers, chambered in .25 and .38. One's cylinder is broken- it doesn't catch and just spins- and the other needs to be cleaned. Also, my dad won't let me fire the .38 with any modern ammo, because it'll supposedly kB.

You could try reloading and make your own underpowdered wadcutters. :/ Hell, wadcutters are subsonic and probably safe to shoot in it.

I have my grandfathers Police 38 Special Revolver.
I am not sure of an exact year, but it was an early 40's or late 30's model.
