What was the first real gun you ever owned?

[Wudidiz]

My very first gun was a single shot bolt action Remington 510 Target Master. It would shoot shorts, longs and long rifle. My dad presented it to me in 1958 on my tenth birthday. I spent years in the forest hunting squirrels and shooting targets. I can still remember that wonderful smell of shooting it on a cold day. What was your first real gun?

An Ithaca Model 49 Saddle Gun was given to me for my 8th Christmas in 1961. .22 caliber lever action single shot with a martini like action.

It was pretty accurate and never hiccuped in thousands of rounds.

I still have it.

Stevens 22. Belonged to my grandfather.

In my 20's, didnt know anything about guns. Steelwooled all the rust off and re-blued with Birchwood's. Looks decent today and at least protected.

Re-stained the stock with dirty transmission fluid. It actually looks great to this day.
