My first fire arm was and still is a 1953 Winchester mod.94 30-30. I bought it off a coworker for $150 around 9 years ago. He did not know how old it was untill I looked it up, he then found out it had belonged to his great grandfather! He never asked for it back, and it is still my deer rifle today! It has a period Lyman peep sight too.

My first gun was a n's .22 Favorite. Bought by an uncle for $3.50 in 1915.

A box of LR's cost $.50 and I shot and sold jack rabbits for $.50 apiece. Used the money to buy gas at $.25 a gallon to drive to meet the school bus during high school and beer in college.

When the Nylon Remington 66 came out, I upgraded. I've still got the Favorite and gave the 66 to my son years ago.
