First gun you shot and first gun you bought

[Exonautic]

Jesus. First gun I shot and bought were the same thing. Was a remington model 783 in 30-06 when I was 18. My grandfather who would have taken me hunting and shooting passed away before we got the chance. My parents were totally ignorant to the idea of guns until i got interested in it on my own. Basically entirely taught myself with the help of the internet and some from you guys.

First gun I ever shot was a distant families old 12 gauge single shot with reloaded shot shells about eight years old, first edible game I ever shot was a gray squirrel I shot with one of my older brothers 20 gauge single-shot Ithaca Super-single. My oldest brother took me out hunting when he was home on leave when he was stationed in Vietnam.

First 22lr rifle was an old Savage 22lr gill gun, I traded something for it when I was around ten or so, I traded it off for something. I don't remember what.
I did recently buy two of them just because I want one, the other was a great deal.

I've bought hundreds of guns afterwards and have about half of them. I'll never find time to shoot them all, Hopefully the kids split them up when I cash my chips in and keep some to pass on the the younger generation in the family.

First gun shot? Hmm... Not sure. Probably our old Crossman .22 CO2 pellet revolver. I remember when my brother shot me with it. Hurt like hell. But first real gun. I don't recall.

First gun bought was my Remington 788 Carbine .308. Bought it from Dicks on Court St in Binghamton when I turned 16. Still have it. Magazine finally gave up on me 2 years ago.

Do you need a magazine for the 788? I bought several guns from the Dicks on Court Street when they were in the original store that they tore down when they moved in to the old Acme store and built the new building for the Block Buster video store.
I use to buy Wildcat 22lr bullets there 69 cents for a 50 pack, $6.99 a brick. That was the good old days.

Merf Beeley had a gun shop up on Mason Avenue just above the old North High School out in his garage, I bought several guns from him too. He was a Detective for the Binghamton PD.

Tom Mahoney use to be a picker and lived Oliver street that went from Court Street to Robinson Street on the west side of Dicks. He some anything & everything he had at his house. If you wanted anything you just tell him what you are looking for and he would find it.
I was into guns, so he'd pick them up if they were cheap enough.
I bought two old single-shot 12 gauge shotguns from him for $35 for the pair, I kept the old Iver Johnson and sold the other for $30. I killed a ton of wild life with that old scatter gun. I shot a few deer with it as well. I still have it. Over the years I bought a Iver Johnson 410, 20 gauge, 28 gauge. I still have to buy the 16 gauge to complete the set.

Guns has been a fun hobby and I love getting my kids into them at a early age and now getting the grandkids in to them.
My six year old grandson shooting the Iver Johnson 12 gauge single-shot with the 7&1/2 shot Agulia mini-shotgun shells.

He can shoot with the best of them with the gun rest. Better then half of the adults I shoot with.


Mason shooting one of the Ruger Mark 2, 22lr. He can dump the magazine, reload it, incert the magazine, close the slide, take the safety off and shoot all on his own so I don't have to baby sit him when we go shooting.

Do squirt guns count?

How about love gun?

 

[Catskillkid]

First shooting experience ever was a Crossman BB gun.

First real gun was an ancient bolt action Savage in .22LR. Still have that gun. Still shoot it. Will always love it. I don't know how many squirrels and chipmunks it's slain. I was young. Probably 6 or 7. When I was a teenager I was gifted my Remington Model 700 in .30-06 for a deer rifle but technically I didn't buy it. No other guns until after college.

First gun I bought for myself was a Sig P250 9mm. That was circa 2011 when I was about 26 years old. After that there was no stopping me. Matter of fact I was having a conversation with a guy at work today about guns and he asked how many I had. I honestly can't say for sure if you include the ones that my parents have/had.

[Glenn B]

First gun I shot was a 22 rifle, either a Winchester or a Remington at summer camp, they had both. I much preferred the Remington. Have no clue as to the models but they were bolt action repeaters, box mags.

First gun I bought was an RG semi-auto pistol in 25ACP. Little did I know right then that RG stood for rotten gun but I found out soon enough.

 

[Airborneguy]

Pretty sure the first gun I ever shot was my father's Mossberg 500 12ga (with him standing behind me). I actually remember the whole thing except for if it was that gun for sure. Years later I took my first deer with that shotgun.

The first gun I ever bought was a Marlin 336 .35 Remington. About 2 months into the academy, they accidentally gave us ID cards that didn't say "No Firearms" on them like they were supposed to, so of course I ran out immediately and bought a rifle before we had to turn them back in. I no longer have it because I dry fired a bow at an archery shop and didn't have the money to buy it so we traded. lol
