What Gun Have You Owned The Longest ?

[ar24095]

Remington Nylon 66 left to me by my Grand father in 1974. It's a Black diamond model. That will be left to my Grand son if I have one.

 

[DirtyHarry31]

Mine is a Colt New Frontier revolver, 6" barrel & mag cylinder (22 LR/22 Mag). Picked that up in 1972 when I was 14. My Dad said I could get one if I earned it and boy I did. Raked up rocks off of new lawns in my neighborhood all summer long. Seemed like I moved 100 tons but it was worth it. Every time I went back in the woods with my friends I'd carried it (was farmlands before ....). I am now 52, the case hardened frame has alittle brown patina on it & it's been better that 30 years since I shot it, but I'll pass it on to my oldest son (now 29) and maybe I'll teach the grandchildren to shoot if my kids ever have any.

 

[VegasOPM]

Ruger 10/22 that I bought from my Brother's buddy in 1986 or so. I have put well over 100,000 rounds through it and it still runs like a champ. The barrel is looking a bit smooth on the rifling, so it may get a second life as a Brownell's poster child.

 

[Dr. Dan]

"The Colt 57 30-06" my dad ordered from a catalog in 1957.

 

[CajunBass]

Ithaca M-66 "Supersingle" 20 ga youth shotgun. 26" barrel, mod choke. I got it for Christmas about 1966. My first gun. Although my son has it in his possession now, I still consider it to be "my gun." He can call it his when I'm gone.

The oldest I have in my possession is a 12 ga Sears Roebuck pump gun. I guess I got it about 1977 or about then. Paid $99.00 for the gun with two barrels (choked and slug). Made by Mossberg it's the same as a Mossberg 500. Killed a few deer with that gun I have.

 

[b.thomas]

12 gauge Wingmaster ......about 35 years.

 

[GettinOld]

A Savage M24 .22 mag / 20 guage. I suppose I've "owned" it for 35+ years, but it has been on loan to my brother for about the last 20 years. So long that I had to buy another for my own use.

 

[SalchaketJoe]

A Ruger Single Six that my dad bought in Montana when he was 12 for $12 and an adult signature on a match book cover.

Dad also bought me, when I was probably 7 or 8, a Browning made, Winchester 1895 in 30-06 when they did that limited run in the mid eighties.

 

[AirForceShooter]

Llama .380 bought in 1966.

AFS

 

[Glockman17366]

A Glock 17L purchased (used) in 1988.

 

[wishin]

Up until recently, I gave a Browning .22 rifle to my grandson that I bought in 1976. Wish I still had the Model 98 I bought in 1956!

 

[The Bushmaster]

Winchester M94 .30 WCF (1949). I bought it in 1960 and still hunt with it...

 

[delta53]

Speed Six

First to come last to go, mine is SS I would have like to get a Blued one also you could hammer nails with it and it would still shoot fine

 

[ClayInTX]

A Ruger LCR which I bought 2 weeks ago and the government knows about.

I had a very tragic boating accident 3 weeks ago. Yes, the boat sank, too. Also the trailer and the hitch that was on truck. Very tragic.

 

[Starter52]

Winchester bolt action .22 bought at Sears. I got it on my 14th Christmas in 1967.

 

[smallbore]

Ruger Mk1, which I passed on to my grandson.

 

[mgkdrgn]

My first gun, actually. Remington Nylon 77 purchsed from Barkers in Bath, NY, 1974. Still shoot it regularly.

 

[MICHAEL T]

marlin 39A Father bought new in 1954 gave to me at Christmas 1958 I was 12 It will go to one of my kids some day when I am done shooting it

 

[Legionnaire]

Mossberg 500 combo given to me by my wife and FIL in the mid '80s (I was a late bloomer).

 

[SaxonPig]

Got this new in February of 1973.





Technically I still own the Remington Model 581 22 rifle I got in the spring of 1968 but it's no longer in my possession and I hope the son of a bitch who stole it trips and jams the barrel up his ass right before it discharges.

 

[Onward Allusion]

Cheap Arminius HW 7 in .22LR imported by FIE. It's gone through probably 10,000+ rounds and is still very much functional. The revolver is 25+ years old.

 

[Steve 48]

A Nylon 66 and a S&W M13 made in the early 70's.

 

[308win]

Remington Sportsman 58 that my dad bought me new in 57 or 58 I forget which.

 

[84B20]

My oldest continuously owned gun is my Remington 870. Purchase April 2, 1981. She has, however gone through a bit of a face lift to keep her young and vibrant.

 

[semperfi63]

Christmas 1975

Ithaca Model 49 single shot .22
(my brothers all got savage single shot bolt action .22 for their 12 Christmas, but I am left handed so Dad had to come up with something else for me)
