100 year old plus guns

[Altitude sickness]

I just bought 2 cases of 2 1/2 from them. But plastic of course.

 

[Red Leg]

Good luck getting any shells from them other than 2 3/4. I’ve been asking for 2 1/2 paper, paper for about 4 years. The answer was they doubt they ever make it again.

10 bore is available right now along with the excellent pigeon load.

Hi,

A 7mm Mauser DWM Sporting factory made. Around 1897. With the original rust blue. Still in action!

Hello @Clodo Ferreira, very nice original Mauser you have!

A question I’m hoping you can help me with. With the excellent low installed scope, how do you operate the flag safety?

Thanks,

V.

I'm afraid that 95 years is as close as I have to a century-old gun at the moment. A 1929 Winchester Model 54 in 30-GOVT-06 in an aftermarket stock. Still haven't fired it yet since inheriting it almost five years ago.

1881 Marlin in 40-60. I also have an Ideal tong tool for reloading.

This was the first ever lever repeating rifle designed for thumper cartridges (also available in 45-70). It was obviously intended for shooting buffalo and Indians. I have not hunted with it. It's very difficult to draw a tag for either of them these days.

A few more sitting around, a Stevens Crack Shot 26 and an Ithaca Flues 20ga made in 1917. These two have unique character in their appearance, but they work.

The Auto-5 turns a century old in 3 years, 16ga, but it's chambered for 2-9/16". I find it strange that the barrel has Ogden, Utah and the frame has St Louis, Missouri.

Hi Vertigo,

The safety flag is a Buehler two position. In the safe position it doesn't touch the scope. I remember when I bought it at the Buehler shop in Orinda, California, 1985...

An LSA Enfield factory sporter in 303 from 1900 or before, not sure.

May be others hiding in the safe(s), but who knows?
