Sentimental Firearms

[Member 52301]

I really hope I created another sentimental firearm.

Lipstick on a pig? What to do with a banged up ol Marlin 25.

Upon @Spitpatch 's nudging, I picked up this Marlin a couple of weeks before Christmas. I bought it for my rapidly growing grandson, which was the generational note Spitpatch's remarks were geared to... Christmas was very close. The kid's presents already purchased and wrapped. Lucky for my...

Today was the first time my grandson got to shoot his "new" Marlin.

Damn that poor girl was SOOOO damn talented and beautiful and just destroyed herself with drugs. Damn what a shame. I will never forget seeing her sing the National Anthem at a ball game. Was in some bar and the entire place went silent while she was singing. All of us saying damn, I have never heard someone able to sing that song well.

Funny... I've jokingly described it as "we kinda lived that movie except that thankfully nobody got ventilated"--which I consider the definition of a "win," everybody walks away no worse for the wear than they came in.

I'm sentimental over the M60 machinegun I was issued, but Uncle Sam made me give it back.

I'm pretty sure Animal Mother was based on your exploits!

After I bought one of those remote controlled spot lights TheHeritic mentioned I thought hey this would be great to have a gun on the roof with a hand held remote. Have the spot light on top of the gun for those really annoying drivers

I'm going to say My Steyr Scout has the most sentimental value for me. I was a late bloomer when it came to hunting mammals and that Scout is what I took my first pig with. Years later, it went to Africa with me where it was a death ray harvesting impala, blesboks and hartebeest. A lot of great memories attached to that rifle.

The shotgun that I bought & restored with Dad 's tutelage & help when I was just 12. I sold it long before becoming sentimental about it.

I can picture Stomper stroking his M60 as he lovingly said goodby to it for the last time, trying to hold back tears
