Oldest or Oddest Piece in your collection?

[Robenstein]

Here are a few of mine. I took a cheap airsoft gun and made a M16 toilet plunger. Works awesome.

Second is my 1917 Austro Hungarian Frommer Stop 32acp pistol

Third is my much loved FN49 8mm Egyptian military contract rifle, the daddy of the FAL

Plunger? Does it work for constipation??

I don't have anything too weird, but my oldest Win lever action is ca 1900. Shoots very accurately and action is smooth.

I'm making a faux old bright red furniture AK-47

I thought ths was going to be my oldest wrench or screwdriver. I have no guns except for a flare gun.

I saw the first picture and decided he likes to shoot the...

It is for when the Sh&# hits the fan. The carry handle and pistol grip give ya some muscle. I laughed when my father came down and had to use the bathroom. He came downstairs and asked "Son...why is there a machine gun next to your toilet?" LOL

Sweet - my Win M1892 was made in 1894. Mine is a cheater though. it's been professionally converted to a .38/.357Mag.

My pops has an old Marlin 1894 in Win 25-20 that I wish I could have. It is a sweet little carbine.

My Arisaka T99 has odd features...

Anti-aircraft sights - can you imagine trying to shoot down a plane with a bolt action rifle? Well, the Japanese did!
The bars sticking out the side have numbers on them for leading the plane.

This rifle also has a fold down mono-pod which is similar to a bipod but MUCH less stable. Go figure.

Here's another somewhat odd looking rifle...Norinco Type 86 bullpup AKM, complete with bayonet.

Oldest: Marlin 1894, DOM 1906
Oddest: Nambu Type 94

It's cheaper than a Saturday Night Special .. it's a Friday Night Special

I love those old top break wheelguns. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well just about everyone and their grandma was making S&W topbreak knockoffs in the U.S. and around Europe.

I always said one day I would get a nice repro Russian Schofield and replace my top break Webley I had to sell when times got tough.

 

[wings&wheels]

oddest: Vz. 52 rifle in 7.62x45 Early Czech semi-auto predecessor to the 'assault rifle' has a side folding permanently attached bayonet

thought it was interesting and it came w/ a case of ammo...of which about 50% fires, looks cool though and it is certainly interesting.

 

[tom slick]

Oldest is a Model 12 16ga from 1928.
Oddest is a Daisey "double barrel shotgun bb gun" made pre ww2. It looks just like a double barrel shotgun and even breaks to cock.

 

[jcwit]

Oldest? Orginal Sharps black powder rifle.

Oddest? German Ortgies .32 Auto pistol. No screws all pined together.

 

[MuzzleFlash40]

I really don't have a super old gun. My oldest is the winchester 1894 30-30 that was my grandfathers made in 1971.

 

[cbear]

Oldest I guess would be a MN91, with a tang date of 1900 and a barrel rebuild date of 1924.

Oddest, probably a tie between a VZ52 rifle, Hakim, Rashid, or Albanian SKS. The Rashid is probably the rarist of them.

 

[nwjones18]

I've got a Steyr m95 made in budapest in 1915 and a m96 Swedish mauser made in 1916. Weirdest is probably the Dan Wesson in 357 max.

Oddest& oldest= NAA mini revolver .22LR. It IS MINI!!
