When I was 14 (I think) some 41 years ago, I bought a used Stevens single shot 16 ga. shotgun. That thing not only had a really bad hair trigger, but it had a nylon stock and kicked like a mule. I had a black and blue arm until I bought a recoil pad for it. I sold it 2 or 3 years later.
When I was 13 I took a street car downtown & purchased a Savage model 22/410
22 over 410 shotgun which my brother lost ( drunk) in the woods & I made him give me his Marlin 39A 22 lever action----I was a happy camper--
Mine were a 1964 Ruger Single Six .22/.22Mag, and a Remington R700 .243 that were my dads. My stepmom still has a shotgun of his that I am trying to get off her, but she lives alone in the woods of Idaho, so she probably still needs it. I'll get it someday, I know. Got them about 6 years ago or so. Now my collection has grown.
Glenfield Model 60, which I still have. Grew up in a firearm free household, and I went and bought it on my 18th birthday as my present to myself. The beginning of a long and satisfying hobby!
Mossberg .22LR Model 142A bolt action with hinged fore-end. 1950 or 51. It was a present from father who sent me off to the local police for training (try that today).
First purchased, a Webley Mk 4 .38 S&W, 1963, soon traded for a Steyr 1918 9mm which I still regret.
Aside from air pistols and rifles, my first actual firearm was a Glock 17. I've still got it and pull it out to use at the range fairly often as the ammo is fairly cheap for centerfire.
