A Mossberg 22 that was my Pap's. Probably from the 50's?
My sister got the family percussion gun my great-great grand dad had. Made by a father/son that lived on the Somerset/Bedford line. Not sure which one made it, and they lived side by side, but in different counties.

Remington Keene 1880 45-70 I've never seen a Remington-Keene in person, but the pictures that I've seen look cool! Didn't BIA issue those to tribal police agencies?

All the rifles in my collection are kind of old. But this is the oldest by a good amount. 1898 Krag made in 1900. 121 years old. Sporterized in the 50’s then I redid it a few years ago. Still shoots very well.

A Pattern 53 Enfield made in 1857. Cartridge rifle is probably my 1884 Springfield Trapdoor followed by my 1887 vintage Winchester High Wall
Charter Member Ancient order of the 1895 Winchester

My oldest is a Remington Lee 1882 that was delivered in 1884 for the U. S. Army trials. It is still in great shape and looks like a Trap Door Springfield converted to a bolt action. I would guess many of the fittings were interchangeable. It shoots fine, but I haven't taken it hunting.

7.65x53mm Model 1891 Argentine Mauser. Because it's stamped "Loewe & Co Berlin" it should have been built prior to the changeover to DWM on 1 January 1897.

Savage 99 1953 and I still use it …. Bought it from my family mechanic who’s passed… it was his fathers rifle that was used in New England.. I have taken deer with it in Alabama and Texas.

You can always borrow and pay the money back but you can never get the time back
Everyone hunter should own a fine rifle, life is short.
