in 1975 a Colt Trooper Mk II
I bought mine new. Don't remember what I paid for. Must not have been too much. I was pretty poor back then.Interesting, my first gun was the same but I was given it because it "Didn't work no more". One firing pin and spring (old one was thoroughly wound around the trigger mech) later and it worked fine. Cost me $1.50 back then. I think it was right about the same time frame as your purchase.

a .22 gallery gun/slide action/pump is my next purchase, but I'm not actively seeking. If the gun gods drop one in my lap (I.e. someone brings on into the shop) most likely I'll buy it.
Obviously that was a few years ago!Savage mod 24V .22/20 ga. At Western auto store when I was 14. Sold a calf and bought the Savage. No paperwork.
Ruger 10/22.first gun you bought yourself, not handed down or a gift.
