The 7.64 Brenneke is an interesting, "obsolete" (but still very popular in Europe; a ballistic twin of the .280 Remington) cartridge that might be a candidate for the "list".

I have a M92 Winchester rifle in 38WCF ( built 1911) and a matching Colt New Service in the same caliber (built 1907) Both were carried by my Grandfather in the 19 20-37 time as a Volunteer Deputy Sheriff in Mississippi. He was a cotton farmer and took the job because it included a telephone.

Good! My bad, I thought I read somewhere they had ceased production of all the Hawkeye's except the .357 to focus on the American rifle. Maybe it was just that they had dropped the M77 nomenclature.... ?

That was the rimfire action, 77/17, 77/22, 77/357, 77/44, etc.. Those are back now too. Or at least some of them.
 
Obsolete? Those are all relatively new. Try going back to 1873 for your .44-40, and a little later for your .38-40 and 32-20. Now we're talking.
 
i see 41 mag here and there.

i didnt think 35 rem was obsolete. but i dont go searching for factory ammo for it.

my vote was for 222 rem, one of my favorites

i also put the 264 mag, as thats one i am working on building. thought i had seen some new ones still available?

7.62x54mmR Russian. Totally obsolete and no new guns chambered in it, but I own one.

what? As of 5 years ago you could still buy a new PSL in 7.62x54R, i know because i did. did they quit making those? I havent seen any in shops for a while but i figured that was because of the AR15 fad or import restrictions..but i would hardly call the round obsolete.

I would bet there are more JD Jones and Ken Waters rounds owned by our members than a lot of other forums. Similarly I would bet there are more milsurp rounds however obscure they may be owned by the THR congregation.
