Overview

Antique firearms are considered firearms that were designed and manufactured prior to the beginning of the 20th century. The fascination with antique firearm collecting did not begin until post world-war II, in the 1950s. Usually collected for their historical interest or monetary value, antique firearms can be divided into two types: muzzle-loading or cartridge-firing. Muzzle-loading antique firearms are typically owned for display purposes as opposed to firing, where cartridge-firing firearms are often collected as shooting pieces. Most antique firearms made from the 1860s-80s were made with mild steel and were designed to use black powder. They were limited to low bullet velocities. However, advances in steel metallurgy and the introduction of mass-produced ‘smokeless powder’ in the 1890s gave cartridge rifles much higher velocities and flatter trajectories than their predecessors. Many antique smokeless powder firearms can still compete satisfactorily in target shooting events today, alongside modern counterparts. This speaks to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of firearm makers of the past.
