remington 870 12g since 06, i let a lot of people borrow it and they abuse it so it looks like an old man now. i'm talking they left it in the rain, dropped on a rocky trail, fallen from a treestand... it's my first so i'm never gonna sell it.

I have moved through different countries, yet I always find a way to keep a bersa close to me.

Not the same unit, but almost 20 years of bersa ownership on and off.

I am 39 years old.

What Gun Have You Owned the Longest?

My father died in 1952 of complications from World War II injury. He left me a Winchester 63 to grow up with. I will have it until I die. My only child has passed away so I'm looking for a heir to pass it on to.

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

That's a *very* interesting question, and one I hadn't considered. I believe the answer is my Chinese MAK 90.....14 yrs.

2nd place I'm not sure - might go to my Springfield Loaded, RWS 350, Taurus 94, CZ 85 combat, or CZ 452.

[DEAC25]

Sears Ted Williams model T-3 (winchester) semi auto .22

My Dad gave it to me for Christmas in 1973. My nephew and I call it "old faithful". He has custody of the old girl now, she still shoots like a champ, though I had to take it apart recently and re-tighten the barrel nut. Sweet shooter.

[wrs840]

Glenfield Model 25 (no s.n.) that I got for my 12th Birthday in 1970. Dad didn't have a lot of money, so it was probably second-hand, but it looked new, in a zipper-bag, but no box, no papers. I cherish it today as much as I did the day I got it.
