Yep. An Interarms import of a Rossi knockoff of an old Winchester gallery gun.

Cheap as they came back then. You'd have thought it was the finest gun made as happy as I was. I can't begin to guess the number of .22 "bricks" I've run through that thing. I was 11 I think. Maybe 10, not sure.

That became the standard gift at birthdays etc, a brick of .22LR.

Maybe I'll take it to the range next time I go.
 
Daisy Red Ryder - first "gun"
Remington 581-S bolt-action .22 - first real one

Both still reside next to each other in my father's gun cabinet.

I keep the collection I've acquired since then with me.
 
Nope. It was a magazine fed Sears bolt action .22 when I was 12. It was stolen some 20 years later by some miscreants who decided that, while I was out working for a living, they'd help themselves to the spoils. You never really get over being violated.........
 
the nicest remington 870 wingmaster magnum I've ever seen, it still looks just as pretty as the first day I saw it, my dad bought that one for me first gun I ever bought myself was a high-point 995 but hey.. ya gotta start somewhere and I've still got that one too it's been a great gun, haven't tried those pro-mag 15 rounders yet.......:neener:
 
yep a springfield 87A 22. it was my grand fathers and if it still works when i have a kid it is what i will use to teach him to shoot.
 
Yep. Basic Daisy BB gun. Winchester youth rifle, single shot bolt action .22 for Christmas in 1952. I was 8 years old.
 
Nope and I just sold my second gun too. I didnt know what I was doing back then and just bought a gun cause of the name brand or cause it looked cool. Now I know better.
 
My first toy... Ahh...

It is a "Springfield 84 C-" made by J. Stevens Company. And yes, I still have it! :p

It's old, It's beat up, and it's a tack-driver. :what:

I bought it at a pawn shop in Hattiesburg, MS eighteen years ago.
All I've done is buy two ten round magazines and replace the rear sight step. My scouts love to shoot this one! ;)
 
Still have my original daisy BB gun from my 7th birthday, my Winchester Model 250 Deluxe Lever action .22 rifle (With Weaver 3X Scope) from my 12th birthday, and my inherited (from paternal Grandfather) Remington Model 31 pump shotgun, with solid ribbed, 28" barrel, in 16 gauge from my 13th birthday. As a matter of fact, I still have every gun I've been given, purchased, or inherited.
 
I got a used Lefever Nitro Special when I was 12. It’s a solid chunk of steel and still shoots great. I have thought about selling it, but it is worth more to me than I could get for it. I’ll probably give it to my son.
 
For my 11th birthday I dad got me a little Marlin .22 single bolt action, not a chipmunk but VERY small. My dad has it now so he can take my little brother shooting, but I can uset it when ever I need.
 
No. I had a lever-action scoped .22 as a boy but I don't remember the make. It was still the most accurate .22 I ever had.
 
1873 Springfield Trapdoor 45-70. Given to me by my father still have it and shoot it.

First gun I purchased was a stoger luger 22. Still have it as well
 
My first gun is a HK P7M10, purchased from a friend a year and a half ago. Heck yeah I've still got it!
 
My 1st firearm was a Davis 380. Still have it, cracked slide and all. I have removed and hidden the firing pin though.

I did a little better with my next two: A 20g 870 Wingmaster & A Norinco SKS
Still have and shoot both of those..

One of the hazards of reviving a four-year-old thread is that some character will want to see the actual picture in the original post.

So, my good man, since that picture link has decayed, do you have one that's more current?

'Cuz we wanna see it, and inquiring minds wanna drool.
 
Yesyesyes

HK USP .40, still got it love it bought it used at a bit before my 19 birthday, looks beautiful
 
Ruger Blackhawk

I still have my first firearm, a Ruger Blackhawk .357 Mag/9mm. I purchased it the week after I left the east coast. I've had it since '78 and it will definetely outlast me.
 
First gun was a New Haven 600AT pump that was given to me by my grandfather.

First gun I bought was a Kimber Custom II .45 acp.
 
Yes. Argentinian High Power purchased 1 week before the 94 ban went into effect. Was able to get 3 normal capacity mags for it. (as opposed to the 10 round low capacity mags allowed by the ban)

Unfortunately I wasn't around guns when I was a kid. I was interested in them but dad didn't huunt or shoot and mom was afraid of them. The first gun I ever fired was my neighbor's sporterized .30-40 Krag when I was 14. From there it was a Crossman 760 until I went to college, then a lot of years with no time or real interest in guns. And now here I am with what the media would call an arsenal (remember, anything over 2 guns is considered an arsenal).
 
I still have my Chipmunk .22 Bolt Action Single shot. Have the box with papers and the grey shoft case. I will never part with it.
