I got a Swedish Mauser made in 1898. This is the finest rifle ever made, and beautiful as well. Sorry, Simon. The finest military Mauser ever made is the 1909 Argentine. Bar none. The contract was for 190,000, they were built in 1909-1910. I bought one new in the original cosmoline from Pachmeyer Gun Works, in Los Angeles, in 1979, for $179. I cleaned it, loaded some 150gr Sierra flat base bullets, and shot a 1.25, 5 shot group at 100 yards. Oldest in possession is my Remington Model 34 tube feed bolt action 22 bought in the mid 60's for $25.

Fugk you. FOAD. How many corks have you sucked this week? Worthless lowlife pos. How do open borders help the US, you gutless prick? Youre too chicken schitt to back up your positions or political convictions. Too bad about McCabe and Hillary.
For sure, a MAN has never voted for Hillary for POTUS.
Does Soros pay you extra to be a gun expurt, or do you have to be a co ck sucker too?

Probably a toss up between my Henry Leman 38 cal half stock, pewter nose capped, percussion rifle made in Lancaster, PA, and my Belgian back action percussion double (11/13 ga).

Marlin Mod 39. Unsure of the exact year of manufacture but between 1922 and 1926 according to Marlin, who say records are incomplete for its early serial number. Found a pic. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/68123.jpg)

Well, I have in my possession a nonfunctional Colt 1849 Pocket that allegedly came from one of my "Great, Greats..." and I have my Great Grandfather's Hopkins & Allen .32 RF Falling Block, but the oldest one that I actually use is my Dad's 1913 vintage Winchester 1911 SL 12ga. ![[Linked Image]](https://s6.postimg.org/mbxqvubzl/1911_Doves001.jpg)

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

My Winchester model 1885 sporting rifle in 38-55. Came with XX wood, cheek piece, Swiss butt, and half octogon #3 barrel. Built in 1889. ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/lo6v37iu5/B6660_F82-44_FE-453_F-_A871-63050659_D7_F4.jpg) Now that's nice! +1 DF

Well, I have in my possession a nonfunctional Colt 1849 Pocket that allegedly came from one of my "Great, Greats..." and I have my Great Grandfather's Hopkins & Allen .32 RF Falling Block, but the oldest one that I actually use is my Dad's 1913 vintage Winchester 1911 SL 12ga. Those are unique; I had the privilege of handling one years ago. It has that knurled area on the barrel to grab and cycle the action, John Moses Browning style, without an operating handle like the Browning A-5, Savage 720 or Rem M-11. Winchester went to a lot of trouble to maneuver around JMB patents. Be careful how you cycle that thing; it didn't get the nickname "widowmaker" for nothing. It if was mine, I'd anchor the butt stock on my thigh, not the ground, reach forward to work the action with the barrel pointing away. DF
