Not particularly old but very interesting...our club rifle, a Stevens model 325 , 30/30 bolt action, only made from 1947 to 1949...used surplus Savage machine gun barrels left over from WW2 production. No serial numbers...sold for $38 ...
A utility rifle for the farmer/hunter. Shoots extremely well...cannot be many of these in the uk, although quite a few in the USA...our rifle also fitted with a vintage Weaver K4 scope...the fitting must have been a much later job. Still has the open sights. Not a beauty at all..but interesting!

My Martini Henry Mk IV is 1886 or 7, don't remember exactly without going to take a look at it.
