Rem RB in 45-70 - original (ca. 1879) action, modern barrel and wood. A friend fit up the barrel and I fit the butt and fore stock. Not really a "cool" story to go with it, but it was (and still is) my first BPCR.
Oldest original I have - Win Model 1903 in Win 22 Auto, made in 1908.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . . The only true cost of having a dog is its death. Someone once said "a nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves." Shiloh Sharps . . . there is no substitute. NRA Endowment Member
