Yep, pun intended! I like to take an older Colt or Winchester or Marlin out for a plinking session now and then. Most of the pieces in my collection date back to pre WWII time frame but I do have some that go as far back as 1872! My latest favorite is a Colt Police Positive Target model that dates to 1935. Typical of Colt target guns, it has a really nice trigger in both single action and double action. When it comes time to grab a (usually) .22 rifle, I like to take either a 1900 vintage Marlin Model 1897 or a Colt Lightning pump rifle from the same time frame. Just something about blued steel and nice wood that is hard to beat! Some pictures:
