Older rifles that were still in use when I was doing things that made life interesting....
1989...Invasion of Panama....M1 rifles were still in use by some PDF forces...weird being shot at , by a "good guy " rifle...
1990 -91 Desert Shield / Storm...Mauser rifles were seen from time to time....
1992..Bosnia ..Mauser rifles...Mosin Nagant rifles and carbines....were common....
1993...Mogadishu Somalia...Mausers...a few stray Lee-Enfields...even one ( at least ) M2 Carbine ..
Any of these places also made use of the AK-47 ....which could also be seen as "old"...
Old rifles still work for the job they were designed for...and a man killed or wounded by someone using one...
Is just as killed or wounded...as someone shot with a rifle made yesterday.

I can remember clearing a warehouse in Kalihi back in the day. My beat partner with his M1 carbine and me with my AR-15 SP-1.

PS …..Oh Yeah…..I was real scared that my partner was gonna ventilate the mannequin at the top of the stairs. OMG…..I could just imagine trying to explain that one to the Sergeant.
