MAK-90.  Paid $235 NIB in 1994.

Still one of my favorite shooters.



(I have never "bought" an AR.  I have built all mine.  The first in 1994)

Interarms Mark X in .22-250 Rem. I loved that rifle and shot targets and P-dogs every day. I didn't work until 3PM.



Between 50gr Ballistic Tips, Rem 9 1/2 primers, Ramshot Big Game, and gas for my '95 F150 I didn't have a dime left come pay day. But man did I have some fun. I couldn't afford to rebarrel it so I traded it off on a Rem 721 in .30-06 right before deer season.




I was 15 when I bought it IIRC.

Colt 1991A1 at the Mainside PX on Camp Pendelton.  Had it on layaway for a few months before finally owning it.  That was 1993.

Huge disappointment.

That should have been the last Colt I bought but I bought one more

Browning A-Bolt II with BOSS in .270. I was 14 at that time.  My dad bought me the scope for it.

I still have the rifle.  It'll be the last rifle I'll give up. I'd rather give up all of my ARs and pistols first. Big sentimental value to me.  Killed so many deer with it and a lot of memories.

I come to GD to beg for forgiveness and confess that my first gun was..........la Hi Point 9 mm. I was young, poor, and foolish.  However, I did not have it for very long before I moved up to a Ruger and then a Glock . Go ahead, give it to me.

I don't remember the manufacturer but it was a .410 bolt action shotgun that held 2 in the magazine.  I think I was in 6th grade.  I bought it from another kid at my deer camp with money I saved mowing yards during the summer.  This would have been around 1981 I think.

A  WW11 Jap 7.7 with bayonet and NCO samurai sword about 1976-77 for $135, I was 12 years old  my dad had to pick it up. A bit of a surprise for him when I called from a show to pick up my new gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 14 K-38 Target Masterpiece.  $102 and change brand new.  My Dad had to actually buy it from the dealer and we then transferred it to me at the Sheriff's department (Michigan and their "Safety" inspection / registration ) due to the fact that I was 18.  No talk of straw purchases, the deputy that handled the transfer was the one who told us how to handle it.

First gun I bought was a Walnut stocked Ruger 77/22.  Used all my lawn mowing money for it when I was around 7th or 8th grade.  I guess technically my dad bought it but I paid for it

I still have it.  Great little .22 rifle.
