7.7 jap machine gun ammo
1863 Springfield muzzle loader. Second would be a 1886 Springfield Trapdoor rifle.
Hell, Ill shoot it its a 1886 Springfield Trap door 45/70. I have light hand loads for mine that I shoot.
And if you ever want to shoot it bring it over its a serious offer, they are tons of fun.
Oldest rifle? Winchester pump action .22, round barrel, nickle plated, with the last patent date of 1911.
I don't remember the model number, but I think it was the model 1906.

From its family history and appearance, I'd say it was made around the WWI period to 1920's.
I shot it a lot in the 1980's.
Oldest firearm I ever shot?
My Colt Army Special, a full-sized .38 special revolver, which dated to 1913 per the serial number check.

Very old flintlock musket, low power loaded. Still burned my hair from the flash pan.
