Post those oldies
I'll start small
Danzig 22 made immediately post WWI
Gun and scope are serial #8
They have been together a spell.

Smith &Wesson 1917 in .45ACP. Built and delivered to the US Army in December of 1917.

This may be the only 100+ gun that I have

My Indiana Jones tribute gun. .455 Brit gun modified to run .45acp in clips. Barrel cut down to 4” and sight installed.

The levers all fit here.
The 25-20 short rifle is 1895.
The 38-55 is 1909
The 32-20 marlin not sure

Nice
I've wound up with quite a conglomeration of them from 22-500 BPE
I have a 1917 too
It was made into a semi-target 44 special
Now how does that modern ammo shoot ?

1881 Marlin .40-65 made in 1881 and 1895 Winny in 30 Govt. made 1900!

I like that top one AL
How's it group ?

Remington 1889 12 gauge

Once I found the right load it shoots holes touching at 50 yards and 200 yard gong is dead metal!! 11 grains of Trail Boss and 265 grain cast .406 Diameter. Pleasant to shoot and doesn't beat the old timers (me and the rifle) up!!

That look's familiar!!

Even with a dark bore and the teeny sights made worse with bad nickel plate… it can put all 6 rounds in one hole from 10 yards.

Almost forgot this one, it made 100 years last year. The MK1 I gave my son was older

Pretty sure the old Savage pump fits in here too

Just a 22 Ron.
Has a 7 shot magazine.
I picked it up for the price of the magazine my gun store guy likes me....sometimes

One of the kids really likes it.
This was the first three shots out of it....old guns "are" accurate

.22 wrf or .22L?

22 LR but would have liked WRF maybe even more.
I was just looking at a winchester 1892 and the guy had one of these there also.
