A Kimber Sporter in 6.5 Swede. It's a 1900 Oberendorf Mauser.

1816 (I think) Harpers Ferry. Originally this gun was a flint lock. I read somewhere that in the 1850's they converted a bunch to percussion. This was one of those. I think that my father paid $10 for it at a yard sale back in the '60's.

Not a rifle, but my grandfather carried this through both World Wars. It looks like 1913.

I was at the range shooting it one day and the guy in the next stall looks over says that he liked my 1911. I told him it was my grandfather's gun and he carried it through both World Wars. He asked me if he was in the Marine Corps. I said that he was and I asked him how he knew that. He said that the diamonds on the grips were specific to the Marine Corps.

The oldest is a US Springfield Armory in 30-40 Krag with a full stock, peep sight and 22" bbl. It is an 1896 model.
Next is a Savage 1899C in 303 Savage that is from 1900.

Another sporterized 1898 Krag, looked like a DCM carbine. The 1899 carbine stock succumbed to multiple cracks. It now wears a Richards micro fit claro walnut stock and an internal barrel band to hold the front end down. Serial number dates action to 1904.
Also a US M1917 Winchester, date of 1918 on barrel.

They all had double diamond grips up until the 1911A1

It’s about 1954 JC Higgins knockoff of Marlin 81 .22 that my mom bought my dad. I inherited when mom and dad passed!

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
