Winchester Model 97, manufactured 1900.
I have an Izhevsk arsenal marked Mosin 91/30 Hex receiver dated 1927 that has a Sestroyesk receiver stamped "189(unintelligible but looks like a 3!, could be 8)" on the tang. Woot!

OK, there's a story in there somewhere. Let's have it!Rich wrote:Oldest is my trapdoor Springfield, made shortly after the Civil War and carried by my grandfather in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.
As for my meager collection - a Springfield 03 with a 1922 date receiver.
