1898 SA Krag made in 1899. Even have a bayonet for it. Still trying to acquire ammunition for it, I do have some but want more.
I just picked up a Springfield M2 22 LR. This is the Gunbroker shot of it

Not quite. But that's what getting a kid through senior year of high school and getting a house ready to sell makes me look like. Not much time for shooting or contributing. :(
Anyway here is a link with pictures I posted back when I still had ammo to shoot: https://www.ar-15.co/threads/178907-...73#post2305973
Yup- When you have a full-time (+) career, a property to maintain, helping elderly parents, and supporting the activities of two kids with your spouse to give them a quality childhood, your personal shooting fun time is not a priority. I pretty much just shoot enough to maintain defensive proficiency.
I have a 1917 German Imperial Mauser. The stamp on everything is from the Amberg armory.
I would say a toss up between my Mauser c96 or fin mosin sky. Not super rare but fun to look at and show people the craftsmanship. Though I’d probably say my favorite is the Mauser.
I have a 1903-A3 Smith Corona with bayonet hanging on the wall.
Nothing spectacular but it's the only thing in the house older than me [ROFL1]
