I thought it might be cool to start a thread for everyone to test their memory by answering a question.

Can you remember the first gun you ever owned? New, Used, Hand me down, family heirloom or what ever but it had to be your gun. No toy guns allowed.  Mine was a J.C Higgings 4.10 single shot bolt action and I got it for Christmas. Parents got it at Sears-Roebuck.

No need for a test, I can go to the safe and get it

Along with several of the "first" that followed ( AK, lever action, S&W,Colt,etc )

Henry AR-7, then my S&W MP-15-22 and my Heritage Rough RIger 22/22wmr (both bought at the same time).

Coincidentally I am gonna be on my way to Templar in Tullahoma to zero yon MP within the next hour or so.

One of the advantages/disadvantages of .22LR... trigger time isn't quite as expensive.

Now if I could just find someplace that has a Marlin PSS-70...

First guns are easy for me, seeing as, for all of my enthusiasm , I didn't get the -7 till after I was 50.

We should be all on our knees that, first ones or newest ones,  we won't need them in earnest, and if we have to, we be granted the ability to use them well..

Apologies, I drifted here...

 

SWC, off to punch paper

First gun - Marlin Model 10 (I think) 22 LR single shot  Age 10 (now 64)

First Centerfire - British Enfield .303 (wish I still had it)

First Handgun - Ruger Single 6 (still got it)

First Semiauto - Ruger Mark II (still got it)

Crescent Arms Victor .410 single shot. I was maybe 10 at the time. The gun had belonged to a neighbor who broke the stock. He just gave it to my Dad. Dad took it to an old man he knew, who made a new stock for it. He then gave it to me. I still have it too.

Nice.  I still have a Crescent Arms Victor in 16 ga that belonged to my grandfather.

I want to say I am sure glad to see all the folks here would have guns that belonged to grandfathers and fathers and they still have them. I still have the 30/30 Lever model 94 my grandfather gave me when I was 17 and just moved to the farm/ranch from Illinois with my parents. I didn't have a deer rifle because back then there was no deer season in Illinois so never needed one up there. The only reason I still have it was because I had loaned it to a close friend and it was at his house when they burglarized our home in 1988. We were  staying at the hospital with my son that was in a coma and dying from a  car accident so they knew we were not home. Small town so every one knew everyone elses business. We reported all the serial numbers of the 18 guns they got to Sheriffs office but not 1 has been located in 30 years. The only other gun I wish I could get back is my dead sons Winchester Pump 12 gauge I got him the previous year for Christmas. They could keep the rest of them for all I care but that one would be very special to me. Sorry for getting off subject.
