Antique Guns
Anyone into this hobby? I have an 1890 mauser rifle in fairly good condition complete with original leather belt and working bolt action. Cleaning rod was missing but managed to buy one for this model plus a bayonet.
Would like to hear from others. |

I apologise if this post is against regulations. I am just writing about an antique object. I was not able to find anything in the regulations of this site against this post. But again I apologise to the site moderator.

I'm into old blackpowder firearms; flintlocks, percussion guns, Damascus barreled shotguns etc. the quality of workmanship back then compared to now is incredible!

1886 Winchester special order long range large game rifle. It was designed to kill elephants, not that I would ever want to do that.
1906 Navy DWM Luger. Unit marked with shoulder stock/holster. 1949 HiStandard H-D Military olympic grade .22 target pistol. I had about 30 rifles and pistols at one time but sold most of them when gun prices went crazy a while back. I kept the good stuff though :-) |

That's a damn good weapon^^^
All my guns are modern. But I've been thinking about getting a 1873 colt ssa peacemaker.
