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

Is it easy to find ammo for the Trapdoors?

I cast bullets load my own rounds for both the trapdoor and the martini. For the Trapdoor I use smokeless loads safe for the trapdoor.

That would be my inherited 32 Smith and Wesson to break pistol. Been in my family for years. As far as I know it's been in my family for over 100 years. Sweet shooting little gun. Nickle plated with pearl grips. Would have been a real nice gun in it's day. It's the gun on the bottom obviously. 1882 is the manufacturing date.

The oldest rifle I would have to say an old Iver Johnson 22 single shot that is still in the family. I am trying to aquire it back but the family is being a bit of a challange to deal with. Early 1900's I believe.

Oops - forgot about my Smith Carbine, circa 1857....
