My dad's Winchester 04a bolt action single shot, which is presently roosting in one of our gun cabinets. He received it from his dad, my grandfather.

Marlin 60 and Ruger 10/22. Bought them for myself this past Christmas.

A Glenfield 60. Purchased it from K-Mart in Portland Oregon in 1975. They had a grand opening sale and it only cost $23.95. I gave it to a nephew several years ago.

Smith and Wesson 22/32 Kit Gun; Model 43 I believe. J-Frame 4" barrel.

Didn't like the small grip and traded it for a Ruger Singer Six after a few years!

Financially that turned out to be the WRONG thing to do!!

my 1st and only one is a 10/22 that i bought in 1970, and i still have it. Havn't shot it in a couple of months because ammo is scarce around here.

An O.E Mossberg&Sons Model 351k. Got it when I was 10 in 76 and still have it.Grandfather gave it to me.

Fatstrat · 03-14-2013, 02:47 PM

My 1st .22 was a Winchester Model 190. But it actually belonged to my father who bought it for my brother and I to shoot. The 1st (working) .22 I bought and owned myself after I turned 21 and was legally able to do so, was a Marlin Model 10 single shot rifle. Great gun.
As a teen I purchased several non working guns at various places. Garage sale/flea markets etc. Some of them were .22's.

Glenfield Model 70, given to me by my dad at my 7th birthday, Still have it 42 years later, and still shoot it once in a while. Can't count the number of rounds fired

jstgsn · 03-17-2013, 08:44 AM

spring field single shot .22. I shot it so much it began spraying stuff around the bolt.

Muddydog · 03-18-2013, 11:59 AM

My first was a H&R 999 Sportsman .22, after over 50 years I still have it.
