While I possess an RPAL and have lots of high power to shoot I still love the unregulated stuff like airguns and antique powder burners. Photos of my antiques. (nothing for sale)

The Sniders are pretty cool, as-is the snider actioned pistol. I've not seen one of those before.
The only real antique I have, is a model 1871 Mauser Sporter that was lined and chambered for the 8.15x46R match ctg.

That 1871 is a beauty Daryl. I have one converted to .410. It does not carry antique status anymore due to the change but is a nice little bird gun.

I also have this little 380 Rook Rifle. I had to order a custom mold to load for it.

That's sweet. PM to you.
My bro and I shoot these repros of 1976 Winchesters. 28" bl. His, the lower one is a .45/60 while mine is a .50/95.
He didn't like the factory stock, so restocked his with a nice piece of walnut and a shotgun butt. When I was shooting
at our 1000meters buffalo with mine, the heel sure dug into my shoulder. I have a Smith ladder sight on it and it gives just
enough elevation to make it to that steel buffalo.

Wow.
That would be challenging to get a cheek weld with that sight at the max.
To say nothing of making a 1000 yard shot.
Awesome shooting.

I too have pieces from the antique class, put away at the moment so I don't have pictures to share but from memory, colt 1879 in 45, colt new line in 41, a small caliber Remington, Allan and Thurber percussion pepperbox, a assortment of pin fire revolvers, and some others I can't quite remember the names of. Some were quite fun to shoot. They were fun to play with but now day's the price of the large calibers is through the roof! I can't believe the prices I am seeing.
