What guns have you given as gifts?

[jbkebert]

A few picts of my sons 10th birthday earlier today. He got a henry h001t as his present. Its the frontier model with octagon barrel. Very happy young man. We have a pile of blue rock that we sat up as targets broken all over the back yard.

I bought my father a Wilson CQB Elite as a gift. My Grandmother just gave me my grandfathers Western Marshall in 44mag.

 

[easy]

Gave my son a HK USP9. Son in-law a T53, also gave a T53 to shooting buddy. (T53 = M44)

I probably can't recall all of them. These were all to friends as I have no kids.

Beretta M92
Savage 99
Ruger 10/22
H&R Topper shotgun (two of these)
Ruger Standard Model 22 pistol (three of these, actually)
S&W Model 13
Several Glenfield 22 rifles
M95 Mauser
Jaeger AP74 22 rifle
Moisin-Nagant 7.62 rifle (two of these)
Two marlin 22 rifles, an Iver Johnson TP 22 pistol and a S&W 469 (father in law)
Martini "Cadet" rifle

I know I am forgetting some.

Fathers day 2008 I gave my father a Ruger Sp-101 that I had a friend do a trigger job on and engrave dad's initials on.

I gave my father-in-law a ruger single-six for his birthday, he carried it while farming until the day he died several years later. He could shoot the eyes out of a gnat with that little gun.

I gave my wife a ruger sp101 for valentines day last year, now she wants another one...

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

Forgot my in-laws. Gave my father-in-law a Ruger early standard auto .22, and a Ishapore .308 SMLE. Gave my nephew on my wife's side an Armalite AR-7 (told him it was the James Bond rifle).

 

[GodGuns&Guitars]

Had a friend help me move one time. Gave him a Kimber Polished Stainless II in 38 Super. Course I had to have one just like it.

 

[hmphargh]

I haven't given any, but my grandfather gave me my great-grandfather's Ruger Super Single Six and my uncle gave me a Parker Bros. hammerless Trojan born set up left-handed with a long LOP for me. Both were for graduation, and both were very nice gifts, but I think my great-grandfather's gun meant a bit more for me.

 

[Frank4711]

Grandson , 22mag Taurus pump action rifle

 

[EHL]

Gave a Walther PPK chambered in .380 to my Father-in Law. He'd been wanting one for years but could never justify the expense to his wife, so I got him one just to fulfill his dream of owning one.

 

[kamagong]

I gave my brother a Kimber Custom II. It's still his only gun, and I don't think he'll ever be as enthusiastic about firearms as I am, but at least he understands the wisdom of having a gun around.

 

[BADSBSNF81]

M1, Colt 380, AR-15, Chipmunk 22, PPK/S

Every gun I've bought is a gift to myself

I've given lots of ammo as gifts over the years, but no guns.

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

Several of my friends and I went together and bought a friend a WASR 10/63 as a college grad gift. He is a teacher and, although done with college, couldn't really afford anything like that due to bills and student loans. He loves it.

Bought my only Brother a Savage Mark II-FSS for his 14th birthday. His first gun.

I grew up shooting my Dad's old Ruger Single Six,,, it was stolen from our home when I was 16. For the past 20 years, when my Pop and I find time to shoot together, inevitably, during the course of the days conversation his "Old Trusty Single Six" comes up.

Last year for Father's Day,, I bought him a brand new shiny Ruger Single Six in Stainless. I placed it inside of a nice new aluminum case and presented it to him as a gift. He was blown away that I would buy him such a nice aluminum case for a Father's Day present,,,,, then he opened it up.

That was a good day.

I just gave my son a Baikal 12ga single barrel break open gun to shoot skeet with. He loves it! He will no longer touch my 'farm tool' Mossberg!

What was better was me beating him with his gun last time we went out
