Colt Combat Commander in 9mm.
Given to me by my dad, it spent about 15 years loaded in the top drawer of his dresser. I still have it, it's about the only gun I have any sentimental attachment to. |

My first gun was a Winchester 7-30 waters, given to me by my Grandpa when I was 15, The first gun I ever bought was a Remington Viper .22, (the only rifle I could afford at the time), on my 18'th B-day, $100 with scope.
I still have them both. |

A Savage model 99F lever action in .358 Win.
It used to belong to my father who died when I was 3. He took his share of whitetail with it. My uncle and cousins used to tell me stories about them hunting together. I still have an 8-point rack that my father took. When I was 16 my uncle gave the rifle to me. I am now in my 40's and that rifle means more to me than any other one I own. OK, now I'm all teary eyed.... ______________________________ If you can keep your head, while all around you are losing theirs, you obviously don’t know what’s going on. (Or you have an AR-15) |

First Pistol:
Sistema Colt Model 1927, 11.25MM (What the Argentines call a pre-WWII M1911A1, .45ACP) Bought it from JLD Enterprises for $300, as a '21st B-day present to myself'. First Rifle: AR-15, from assorted parts. I don't have all of it yet, but I just got the stripped lower (Oly Arms PCR-02, $129 + tax) from my local gun shop today. I'll get the rest at the next Milwaukee-area gun show. It's gonna be as close to an M16A2 as I can legally get with a post-ban semiauto lower. |

Christmas gift, 1978. At the time I think they were only @ $200. It's sitting in my lap right now, still in very nearly perfect condition. I don't expect it will leave my family during my lifetime. |

Yeah right! You are just jealous of my 21. When did they ever sell FNC's esp. Para's for 700. You can't buy any FNC in this country no matter what. Please tell me when this was. In 1989?

doggonit.....You can buy several makes of FNC's right now for $2200 or so.
My first gun was a Belgium Browning Light 20 that my dad bought me when I was 3, when he heard that Browning was going to be made in Japan. It still has never been assembled, I I probably never will. I'll give it to my son when he is about 30! |

I don't know when I got it, but it was my Great Great Aunt's 16Gauge, SxS "Ranger" (Stephens 311), and I took my first deer with it when I was 7-8 YO, A couple of years ago, I had it Black Chromed, receiver Hard Chromed, and a new stock made for it. I wanted to keep using it, and it checked out , so I figured what the heck, it's a family thing, so spend some $$$
