Gew 98, mfg. 1916. Chopped up stock, not much bluing left, bolt safety doesn't work, and it's seen better days. But dangit, I love it.
 
Trapdoor

Model 1884 Trapdoor Springfield manufactured about 1887. I bought it at a gun show, with a welded mainspring broken ejector and hardware screw in the hammer. $140. Next aisle over a vendor had all the parts, $40 later working trapdoor.

Winchester Model 12 made in 1937. bought it from a gun store pretty cheap in pretty bad condition. I'm currently trying to restore it.
 
1898 Winchester 30-30 my grand father just passed this last year and my grandmother gave it to me it has been pass along sence it was bought brand new. It is in a wooden box with a US Army stamp on it. I have no clue how old the box is i am trying to find out. the gun looks brand new I dont think I will ever shoot it. I would like to put it in a glass box on the wall any tips would be great.
 
1775 American Musket
It was left to me by my Grandfather. I have no idea where he got it.
I'm tempted to fire it, it is in good condition, fear of it breaking has prevented me
 
73 trapdoor. It started out with a $500 tag on it. By the time I got done inspecting it, I offered the pawn shop $100. He accepted my offer and I could only turn up $97 on the spot. They thought that was fine. I got home and started more research and found out it is a pre-custer, ooops :D
