Well now, I have an 1862 Three-band Snider long rifle and a same year two-band short rifle.
An 1897 Boer War bringback Mauser in 7x57 and a Model B sporting rifle from 1912 and in the same calibre. I have a 1898 Carl Gustaf m/96 long rifle, and a 1910 BSA .22 takedown. Then a 1914 Swiss K11. After that there's a huge gap until 1930 and my Dad's Walther Model 2, then a 1934 Walther DSM military trainer, and a 1937 Mauser ES350B. A Swiss K31 comes from 1945, and a Swiss 300m target rifle made from a 1950 K31 action. Then there's a couple more modern BSA Martini target rifles [1957 and 1962] and a 1967 Anschutz Model 1409. Ending up with a .308 Win Krico 650SS and a replica .58cal WoNA Enfield muzzleloading carbine and an 1886 Winchester High Wall in .45-60 Govt. My two handguns are both unusual only that you'd never see them in the Republic - one is a .44cal BP revolver - the Ruger Old Army, and the other is the Sabre Defence System version of the Ruger Super Redhawk in .357Mag.

Images only via email. Sorry. I've figured out that it is my non-compatible Japanese OS computers to blame for this ineptitude on my part.

PS - Most of the older ones have real stories to tell.

Hmmm, I just remember that you can see most of these guns in action on my Youtube channel - tac's guns.

Don't forget the apostrophe.

My old Remington Model 34 - manufactured 1932, original bolt got lost and it never shot the same afterwards so it went for destruction in preference for my 1418 about a year ago. It was a crackin rifle, incredibly light but still very stable, lovely trigger, never a match contender but good enough for 1.5" at 50m on its original bolt.




Replaced with the Anscutz 1418 on top in this image, and the 1423 followed more recently. 64 and 54 actioned 'stutzens' manufactured 1979 and ~1967 respectively. Haven't stretched either out past 50m with any conviction yet but they're tacdrivers at that range.

My new old inland .30 m1 carbine. The stock is not original but I'm on the hunt for a replacement. It's a 1944, it has in inland receiver, slide and bolt. The barrel is underworld. It was normal to have different maker marks.

That thing is in remarkable condition for it's age - has the blueing been redone?
Looks like it was only made yesterday!
