It's astounding how much old-school gun designs still influence our weapons today. The 1911 is over a century old and remains a popular choice, while Stoner's 1950s AR-15 is the gold standard among rifles today. Even modern striker-fired pistols owe much to Hi-Power pistols from yesteryear.
Classic designs such as the Mauser action remain at the core of most bolt-action rifles today, while its robust yet straightforward design keeps inspiring new platforms.
Bottom line? Great designs last and stand the test of time. What old-school firearm do you believe still holds up today?
