First was a 10/22 and shortly after was a Type 99 which started my path to milsurp addiction.
.... Now 30 years as a friend of Bill W, am sober and I don't feel the same need to put and end to it.
Best $5 you ever spent, I bet. The 10/22, as much of a double deuce lover as I am, is one I've never had. A lot have passed through my hands at the shop and the coolest thing about the gun, to me, is how customizable it is. Can be dressed up to look like a WWII weapon or something like the latest tactical lib scarer.It was 1980 or '81 -- I bought a raffle ticket at a gun show for $5 and won a Ruger 10/22.
Remington Nylon 66.Inspired by Olon's post. As the title of the thread says, first gun you bought yourself, not handed down or a gift. I was 21 when I bought my first Python. But, guns are like potato chips, you can't just buy one!
That was the first rifle I encountered with a plastic stock. A friend had one, shot great.Remington Nylon 66.
