I have a Turkish Mauser from 1894

Remington 1858 chambered in .44, SN dates it to roughly 1863.
However, grandmother has Kentucky Percussion Rifle hanging above fireplace. My best guess is circa 1840s?

I have a Spanish Mauser from 1917.

I'm in the process of fixing up a Krag Jorgensen from 1897, but I'll probably never fire it because of the Crack in the barrel.

According to th serial number, my krag Jorgensen was made in 1899 and I've got a Colt navy cap and ball revolver built in 1857. My dad has an old Sharps rifle and an old plains rifle, no idea what their date of manufacture are I'll have to look next time I'm over.

I have an 1890 production steyr Gewehr 1888.
Sadly (depending on who you ask) it's a 1914 8mm Mauser conversion.
I prefer this because I can use PPU and bring it to a fucking awesome range day with the rest of the real Mausers.

It's a Turk one though, sadly.

I've got a .32 caliber percussion-converted Kentucky rifle with no manufacturer's marks. The barrel is about 5 feet long.

It's probably from the early 1800's.
>>
>>33560590
>>33560659

Thanks, I'm quite happy with it, too. I was expecting it to look rougher in person, but it doesn't at all. All of the markings (except for the cartouche on the stock) are crisp and legible. There is a crack in the stock on the left side (see pic), but I don't think it's a big deal.

I've noticed the single stack magazine is a bitch to load compared to conventional double stacked Mausers. I can see why they got rid of it, not just to make the mag flush.

With that "s" on the receiver and the notch in the receiver ring for the stripper clip adaptation it's been converted to at least Gew.88/05 and can use normal spitzer .323" 8x57IS.
