My shotgun is older than I am

My shotgun is older than I am and it has never once failed to do exactly what I asked it to. Respect your classics!

I have my grandfather's old single shot Eastern Arms 12 gauge shotgun, 32" barrel.
Company went out of business in the early 1940's. I still shoot it sometimes

At this point it’s less a shotgun, more a family heirloom that still clocks in for work every season..

I’ve got a Ithaca 16 gauge side by side, that belonged to my Dad’s father, and long before I was born, my Mom’s father bought it from him. I don’t shoot it much, but it has a place in the safe.

I've got two break-open 20g shotguns that are pre-serial number (they've got that inventory number that folks think is a serial number, but isn't).

My Mossberg 500 is over 45 years old at this point which makes it older than a whole lot of shooters, but I certainly wouldn't consider it 'old'. Heck, its just getting broken in

Oh yeah, I forget about my old Beretta MK ll .... Only imported by Beretta for 4 years back in the 1970's .... I still shoot that one as well. Barrel is super thick, I have the 34" version.
