Very nice rifles.
I understand how you can become attached to something that just fits and works!
Circa 1900 Parker 20 on 28 frame that I grew up shooting. It was refurbed and works:

It's replacement for regular use:


Winchester 1892 .357 magnum made before 1910- last of serial number worn off:
As purchased and used back around 1970 - looks new now with the wood cleaned up:

So if I posted my black composite stocks with huge scopes and muzzle brakes would that offend you hahaha.

Beautiful rifles you have there.

1886 Army & Navy 12 ga
Originally purchased by Swenburne Esq. on 29 Nov. 1886 for £8.10.0

We celebrated her 130th birthday with a trip afield in honor of Mr Swenburne. I think he would be pleased

Idaram,
That is an elegant oldie!

 

[IdaRam]

Thank you @crs It is beautifully balanced and an absolute joy to shoot. When I got it, it was partially refurbished. Unfortunately some of the “polishing” was a bit heavy handed and required some “undoing”, but it turned out pretty well in the end. Due to the work already done on it I ended up cold rust bluing everything, although I believe the hammers, side plates, receiver and underlever were probably color case hardened originally. Fortunately nobody seems to have monkeyed with the locks and it is nice and tight and square on face.

 

[Ridgewalker]

Awesome! Those make me feel younger! Just wish I could still hunt at that age!
