Which is older, a blow back design or a 1911 design?
I am impressed with the age of the designs and the sheer age of some of the firearms listed here.

Oldest design I have is a 1894 Winchester lever gun.

The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

My oldest gun is a lever action .35 built in the 50's lol
Blow back is older than the 1911. Browning's first commercially successful pistol was the FN Model 1900 (which was an improved Model 1899, also Browning's).Originally Posted by AutoFan

I'm kind of surprised no one said they have any wheel lock weapons, although the mechanisms in those could be kind of fragile. And no mention either of weapons from the East, like Janissary muskets, or some of the really cool looking old Muslim firearms. But I suppose things like that are kind of hard to get ahold of, and replicas might night have too big of a market.
