What was your first firearm?

Marlin bolt action .22 with 7 round mag. and 3x Bushnell scope.
I was 9? and that was the coolest thing ever!
Clearly I still have it and use it, but haven't changed a thing

 

Remington Rand USGI 1911A1 .45 ACP. Produced for the war in 1943. Bought it in 1986 when I was 18. Still have it.

 

Ruger 10/22 when they first came out -1965? - $ 50 , saved all my odd job money & had an 18 yr old friend buy it since I was only 14

 

The rule in my fam is guns never leave, they're always passed down. We have shotguns and rifles that shift back and forth between cousins and nieces and nephews. It's nice. With the gun, you get stories and cherished memories. We have guns going back as far as my great-great-grandfather.

 

My first firearm, paid for by me at 18.
H&R 9 shot 22 revolver with a 5.5 Or 6 inch barrel.

Bought it for $65.00 back when you just bought a gun. No paperwork or any of that.
Hard times a few years later, sold it for $130.00.

Been sorry ever since.

Looking for one now that won't break the bank n can be boughht in my state.

 

H&K model 999 Sportsman 22 revolver. Almost 40 years later (and too many guns to count), I still own it and shoot it. Cannot say that about many of the guns I have purchased over the years. Fun gun.

 

1978 a MARLIN .22 Semi Automatic Rifle, 1982 a Mossberg 12ga. ,2003 a Smith & Wesson Sigma SW40VE 14+1 Semi Auto, 2016 a S&W MP15 Sport .223/5.56 SemiAuto .

 

So which one was your first?

 

Lol

 

Left and right arms when pushed out the womb.






















Marlin model 60 .22 I believe. Was my dad's old rifle.

 

Mosin Nagant 91/30 in 7.62x54R

Got it after I started shooting with a buddy on his horse ranch. That was the Big 5 days $89.99, (Stupid good rifle for that price) never fired and soaked in cosmoline and came with all the stock stuff they give you in Russia when you run into battle and they say "When he dies pick up gun and fight." Took me about a month to strip it and polish it up. Still miss that gun, traded up for a Marlin XL7 30-06 I could get a decent scope on.

 

Just bought one. The guy had it on a newfangled stock, old stock stuck away.
First thing I did wss put it back the way it wa s born.

 

They are truly great rifles, shoots like a laser and most often a lil high because they made to shoot freak'n far. Love that 7.62x54R caliber too

 

A l is I shoot with has one.
Put 10 rounds thru his, was hooked like a crack addict.
Had to have one.

 

Savage 20g single shot shot gun. ( Age 16 )

My 2nd, was a Colt M16A1 (Age 18 )

 

IWI Baby Desert Eagle in .45 ACP. all steel, got it used, what a great shooter. sold for truck mods

 

Glock 19c for me. Went to the gun shop looking for a regular 19, but they were out. Sales guy convinced me at the time that fire coming out of the top of the barrel would be really cool. WRONG. It shot well enough, but was blinding at night & a pain in the butt to clean. Sold it and eventually bought a regular Glock 19 among several others.

 

When I turned 10, my dad bought me a Remington Model 521-T .22 target rifle. It had Lyman peep sights and a military type leather sling. I still have it to this day (52 years later). I just wish I had taken better care of it.

 

Marlin Model 60 when I was 15. My mom was not pleased (dad bought it for me, they were divorced) and I later sold it to help fund my first car.

 

H&R single shot 20 gauge when I was 10. My dad cut the stock so i could shoulder it. It kicked hard as hell and was very heavy for a 10 yr old, but i shot it as much as I could. I ended up cutting the stock down to more of a pistol grip when i was in high school and it was eventually stolen.
