Speaking of antiques, I have a couple. I'm not the kind of guy to fondle them, but shoot them. My last acquisition, Trapdoor carbine:
Is one of my favorites. I ended up shooting some BPCR rounds (.45-70) instead of the reduced loads the army came up with way back when, (.45-55). It amazes me how accurate this old gun is!!!
Now I don't forget I have guns in my safe, I just haven't shot them in a while and it becomes like christmas when I rap them from the safe.
