a couple old obsolete rifles

I took a picture of a couple old lever action rifles to show a fella. Thought I would post them here.

the top one is a 40-65 that Ackley bored out to 45-70 years ago back. I found a 40-65 octagon barrel in amongst the gun parts and wondered about a barrel swap, I wonder about these things at times.

the bottom is a 50 express, My father had bought the gun in the 1950s for fifty dollars. For years ammo was a bit rare and then cowboy action shooting or some such activity came along, Then 50-110 was available again.

Now why doesn't that surprise me....
Talk about haven't heard of in forever?.......
Thanks for posting.

Shot them lately?

Nice..........very nice.

I love the second and the third rifles ...

You, sir, have an enviable selection of firearms. You don't need another nephew do you?

thanks for the comments. I have a few old relics, take these two for example. One had belonged to my granddad and one to my dad. I haven't shot them for some time, need to remedy that.

If you have no use for the one I like, you may send them my way...

There is no such thing as an obsolete rifle. It may not have the edge as a weapon of war but of it's in firing condition it will always be a rifle.

Yep..antique maybe..but no obsoleted..unless its already due for scrap with no parts.

I like older weapons, so I like those rifles.

I used the term "obsolete" to get everyone's attention LOL.

Well, seeing who posted the thread we already know it's gonna be something old, weird, cool, clever and "Just happened to be laying around......LOL.

It's a family trait, we always have to choose something a little different LOL. It don't only apply to firearms. LOL
