Your first gun. What was it?

[Mono1]

A M44 Mosin Nagant, from Big 5.
Got it as soon as I turned 18. Didn't have a car at the time.
I walked home with it (this was through Los Angeles at the time).

Nice! A Flame - Thrower!

I don't quite know what to say about that...

What goes around comes around

My first rifle was a Henry lever gun from my grandpa in Yacolt back when I was a kid. i prob shouldn't say this because it's incriminating but my first handgun was from the same grandpa, I was 16 and he gave me a well-used Taurus PT745 Millenium Pro for my birthday. I carried that thing religiously for 5 years until I turned 21 and bought myself a Glock 19 for concealed.

Remington 788 carbine in 7mm-08.

 

[PORSCHE928S4]

Iver Johnson centurion 12 ga and the extractor didn't work so I also had a broomstick for the boom stick lol. I loved it was the best $20 I think I've spent .

 

[Ura-Ki]

Winchester Model 52 Olympic match .22 with all the accessories! Paid $200 for it in 1980 which was YUGE money back then! Still have it, still shoot it, and can still win any match I want to shoot!

I bought a Sears Model 101 single shot shotgun in 20 gauge. It took 3" shells. Bought it from a friend when I was 10 years old for $20.00. It's still in my safe.

 

[Plunger45]

Mossberg 500. Persuader.
Still got it.

 

[gsparesa]

Ruger 10/22 carbine that was stamped with "Made in the 200th year of American liberty". Gave it to my nephew.

 

[Nra-Life-Member]

The 1st was a Ruger Security Six 357 Mag.

Montgomery Wards 22. Got it when I was around 10. Literally wore that thing out. No, even it it had survived all these years I wouldn't go back for training on it. Not necessary.

Does it say Montgomery wards on it? Or does it say "Western field"?

MW back in like the 60s had savage make a clone of their model 340 in 30-30, and Wards sold it under the western field name.

 

[Jay Walk]

Newbie's first gun was a sw mp 9. Boring I know but
my father just gifted me his first rifle a 1948 Winchester model 74 .22 I love that gun.

 

[Brownsalamander]

Glock 21, full size

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Marlin Glenfield Model 60. My dad took me down to the pawn shop to buy it. I think I was around 10 years old. I've still got it 40+ years later.

 

[Trapdoor45-70]

Remington 512 .22LR tubular magazine bolt action, passed on from my dad. Still have it.

First, brand-new-to-me gun was a Ruger 10/22 marked "Made in the 200th of American Liberty". Still have it.

You know what, it may very well have. It's been so long ago I don't really remember.

Other than the obligatory Red Ryder BB gun, my first real gun was a Remington Fieldmaster 572 .22 that I received for 8th grade graduation circa 1975.

The first gun I bought for myself was a Ruger P85 MKII 9mm in the early 90's.

If it seems like a long time between guns, it's because we may have been poor when I grew up, but we weren't gun poor.

Of course I still have both and they function 100% like the day I got them. (When folks start those threads "Guns you regret selling", I never have much to contribute.)

First wife bought me a Ruger 10/22 for X-mas or birthday, when I was 22. That was probably about 1976. Because I would go rabbit hunting a couple times a year with old high school buddy's and have to borrow a gun. I still have that 10/22. Growing up I was never into guns any more than a mild fascination with the very old guns Dad had procured just after he got out of the Navy in '47. Those guns hung above the fireplace in the basement. I would mess around with them. They included a burgess shot gun, Winchester 66 and 86, Remington rolling block circa 1871, heavily sporterized M17, Old Mauser, and a couple others. Never shot a gun with my father. He did allow me to take his Colt Woodsman with me when I went rabbit hunting with buddy's when I still lived at home. Any marks on that Woodsman were put on by me back then.
