I don't care what caliber. I don't care what action. Wood and blue and preferably pre 1960 are the only requirement. I'm all eyes
How about pre 1860?
My great (x5)grandfather's original full stock percussion muzzleloader.
It was handed down through the family, and my dad had work done to get it in shooting condition. I had more extensive repairs made to get it in safe shooting condition. It was about two years in the process.
In 2015 I was able to hunt with it and harvest this buck.
I have my 4x grandfather's rifle also. It needed extensive work to make it safe to shoot. I had the barrel freshened by Butler Pennsylvania. I shot it in a nmlra Illinois territorial match several years ago.That has to be an awesome feeling! 6 generations down. WOW. I'm afraid to shoot my grandfather's gun at this point.
