I had a Winchester model 63 years ago. I suffered from temporary insanity and sold it to fund a minty Winchester model 90 in 22LR. Currently have three M63s in the house..... Kaiser Norton

If we're including centerfires here on the rimfire forum that's OK and my oldest semi would then be my M-1 Garand which came to me from the CMP in 1996. Serial number on the Springfield receiver dates it to 1943 IIRC. Of course the rest of it is somewhat more recent.

Many of the win74 were sent to Europe by way of England during the war. These were used by the various resistance groups. They were 22LR with threaded muzzle. So I am told. I have a win74 Short without the threaded muzzle but with the British stamp from that lend/lease program. Some kind of fluke.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

The oldest one currently is a Ruger 10/22 that I bought in 1982 to shoot rabbits out of the garden and raccoons out of the chicken coop. It replaced an older Stevens that I bought from a buddy when I was a freshman in college (1962). That one resides with a long-time friend (and former college room mate) who steadfastly refuses to let go of it.

Oldest 10/22 I've had is '67. Got it a couple yrs ago. No longer have it. Like the sporter stock way more. My first 10/22 was new, think pops paid $50 for it. Around '72

Not wanting to derail the thread, but I have never had a semi-auto .22 (or any firearm) for that matter, and I wondered how much of an outlier that makes me.
