[todd128]

[phoglund]

My first was a Ruger 10/22 my father gave me. I still have it although it has a different barrel and stock and has a scope mounted.

 

[KBintheSLC]

5 yrs old. Dad brings home a Ruger 10/22 and says happy birthday son. I have had it ever since.

 

[SoonerSP101]

Yep I do..

 

[41magsnub]

yep, Winchester model 120 20ga youth. Still have it and shoot it, but it is in the gun hospital right now.

 

[fearless leader]

Yes, a Marlin auto loading 22. I forget the model, and my second.

The first one I ever bought, an 8" 41 mag. Model 57 S&W was stolen in Norfolk, VA.

Remember when you join the service, when the recruiter says it's one of you military benifits to use the base armory to secure your firearms when you are deployed, he's lying.

 

[Stevie-Ray]

Yup, Stevens model 34 bolt action .22 rifle. Got it for my 12th birthday 40 years ago. It still amazes me with it's accuracy.

 

[MRIman]

Hell Yes!! I still have my first gun.

MRI

 

[Jubjub]

Yes indeed. Remington 514 that I got for Christmas when I was 11. Along with it I got a box of shorts, a box of longs, and a box of long rifle ammo. Apparently, my dad took the S,L,LR marking literally.

Your First Gun...Still Got It?

Ayup, .22 semi-auto rifle ... a Christmas present from "Santa" in 1964 ...

 

[Kind of Blued]

I had my friend pick it up from my house while I was at work so we could go shooting straight from work. He put it on top of his car, put my ammo, my shoes and my change of clothes in his passenger seat, got in, and took off.

It was probably the perfect first gun. Browning Buckmark Hunter, 7.25" barrel, accurate as hell.

I miss it badly.

 

[Mojo-jo-jo]

First here was a Chinese SKS. I sold it when I bought a M59/66, since I couldn't justify having two SKS's.

I should have kept it.

But do you miss the friend?


As for the first gun, yup still do. Stevens SxS 20.

 

[ARKIESTEEL]

My great grandfather bought a springfield stevens model 82 single shot bolt action with a straight pull hammer .22 when he was a boy for $6 bucks. When my grandfather was a boy my great grand father gave it to him. When my father came along (oldest son of my grand father) he got the gun. It became mine at the age of 7 (28 years ago) and still lives in my gun safe. I have killed much small game with it and it still shoots good. I dont shoot this gun very often anymore but some day my child will have this gun and get the same story I got; some things just aint for sale.

Its not fancy its about half unsafe (when loaded and the hammer is cocked if you move or try to cycle the bolt the gun fires and there is no safety other than whats between your ears) but its mine

 

[Remington788]

Ruger 10/22, given to me for Christmas when I was 12, still have it, will never get rid of it.

 

[32winspl]

Nope, Yep and Yep!
My Dad had (still does) a Win '94 in, you guessed it, .32 Winchester Special that I truly longed for. For my 8th Christmas (1966gave me ), Dad, gave me a Daisy "Spittin' Immage" mod 94 bb gun. Bet I put a half million bb's through it before it died. I still hunt with his old 94. I'm regularly amazed just how fast it comes to shoulder and on target. A lot to be said for 40 year old muscular memory.
When I was about 10, an Uncle gave me his Rem 572 Fieldmaster. Still have it though I seldom shoot it anymore, the action gets gummed up so easily... I mostly use a hvy bbled 10/22.
The first gun I ever bought was an Ithaca featherlight 20 ga. when I was late 12 years old. I delivered a lotta Milwaukee Journals to come up with that $126. I really had my eye on a Rem pump, but being a lefty, my Dad suggested I'd do better with the Ithaca's bottom ejection. As usual (dammit!) he was right.

 

[Bobby Horn]

Following the required Daisy lever-action my first was a Ruger 1022 (christmas gift at 11). The first on I bought was a Raven MP25 .25 ACP. Unfortunately don't have either. But I will... I will.
