Remington 870 Super mag

I saved up $100 a month of my paper route money when I was in the 7th grade and bought it about a month after I turned 13 years old.

I've killed a ton of stuff with it since then. Deer, ducks, geese, pheasants, doves, etc.

I followed it up with a Ruger 10/22 the following summer.

In 1974 I was 12 years old and had my first job. Two paychecks into that gig I had enought to buy a sporterized 30-40 Krag. A few months later deer season opened and I killed my first deer with it.

Winchester 190 semi-auto .22.

Central Hardware, Indianapolis, ~1975.

Posted: 2/9/2016 9:08:26 PM EDT

[#20]

Can't remember for sure-either a browning BPS 12ga, which I still have, or a Winchester 94 angle eject-cause I wanted to mount a scope on it, and it came drilled and tapped on top for mounts. Cool, right?

Took it to a gunsmith (because these were pre-internet days, and I didn't know about brownells then) to have my scope mounted.

When I got it back, the stupid son of a bitch put a side mount on it instead of using the top holes. I was SO pissed off. Sold that gun a couple of years later, IIRC.

Mossberg 12 gauge pump. I put a pistol grip top folder and matching forearm pistol grip, and I thought it was hot shit.

CMP service grade M1 Garand. It's the only rifle I still have back at my parent's house. I impulse bought a field grade Garand when I went to the CMP south store before Cola Warrior, which had an equally pristine barrel, original finish and an original stock. One day I'll have my original M1 reparked and get a DGR stock for it.
