Whats yours in your collection ?

 

[P.B.Walsh]

Remington Model 34, made in early 30s.

 

[rcmodel]

Winchester 1890 .22 WRF pump made in 1903.

Barrel has been relined by Redman, and a Marbles Tang sight added.
It probably shoots better today then it did in 1903.

[USAF_Vet]

I haven't been able to pinpoint my Arisaka, but based on the serial # and arsenal marks, looks like late 20's to early 30s.

I have an off brand 20 gauge single shot that I estimate to be from the same era.

The only one I can confirm the actual date of manufacture is my M-44, 1953.

Oldest one I have now is a Winchester Model 94 Saddle Ring from 1914.
And a Remington Model 10 which from the serial number I think must be about 1928.

[DM~]

Mines a S&S Remington model 1900 12ga. that dad bought used in the 40's for $10.00, it was made in 1905,



Dad shot a lot of deer, ducks and pheasants ect.. with it waaaay back when, and then it went through each of us six kids, over the years getting pretty beat up!

I got it from dad in the early 80's, and "fixed it up" with a new stock, springs ect...



It still shoots great, and i do shoot it from time to time





Anyway, it's a keeper and i hope to hand it down some day...
