    Firearms over 100 years old still used Today

    After reading Mohawk's thread about his 117 year old Mauser and in light of the up coming 100 year anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings, Feel free to post your pictures of any firearm over 100 years old that you still use today.

    My favourite Rifle.

    1892 Winchester 25-20wcf Manufactured 1910.

    I love shooting this rifle

    Cheers
    Pete

    The Goats don't like the 25-20 either .... can't see why though as I love it.

    My Son and My Mate put away their 223's and took it off me last time out to use for themselves after seeing how much fun I was having.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Has accounted for a few rabbits and goats and one deer in the time I have had it. I have never adjusted the sights
