Got to shoulder and fire a rifle from 1869 today. Whats the oldest gun you have ever fired?

I want one of those as well.

Well, don't get your hopes up....I just went and looked and they are all sold out.

It was nice meeting you up at Bryan's place the other day.

One of these days I am going to pick up one of those crated imports at Atlanta Cutlery...the old Martini and Henry .577/450's.

I want one of those as well.

then you two better hurry up. They are selling out and going way up in price.

Its not a rifle but I have an early 1930's HR Handy Gun in .410. Its a smoothbore .410 pistol with a 12" barrel. Yes, I have a stamp for it... not quite what comes to mind when you think of a SBS.

Stole this pic from another site.

Had a Steyr straight pull made in 1915, came across a round at a gun show (8x50R) and had fun once. Oldest gun I shoot on a (semi) regular basis is a Remington 81 from 1942.

And when I say "this one" I mean, not the model, this exact gun.

Thanks @alleycat !

The oldest pistol I've shot is my 1912 P08 Luger.

My uncle gave me a black powder rifle when I was twelve years old. It was made in Troy, NY in 1830. I last fired it in the fifties; but I still have it.

Is it easy to find ammo for the Trapdoors?
