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.

Man, that brings back memories rafsob. Back in my much younger days (and long before restrictions on mail order sale of cartridge guns), Trapdoors were dirt cheap in the ads in Field & Stream, Sports Afield, etc. But no one wanted them back then. Wish I had bought a dozen.
