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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
