You'll try anything once........Grandfather's 1925 Abercrombie & Fitch 10GA double barrel with 32" barrels. 8 years old and my same aged cousin held the barrels up for me. It launched me backwards about 6 feet.

Man, I haven't heard that name in a minute. I lived there 2 years and that's where I learned to shoot .22lr for the first time at 12. Dad wasn't really into firearms and I had to beg to get him to teach me on his old Marlin 39A from when he was a kid.
Guns I loved shooting as a kid, my dad's SKS and Makarov. I guess ammo was so cheap for them in the 90's it was the two guns he didn't mind me just loading and shooting till we we wore out.
Also the 22's. He had a old Ruger standard and a heritage revolver with a stupid long barrel, Marlin model 60's and 39.
We always had bigger bore revolvers and leverage actions, but he didn't let me load and shoot those near as much as the SKS and mak.
First rifle he gave was a Marlin 35rem. Still hunt with it to this day.

Remington nylon 66 was my 1st firearm I shot. I still have it too. I was 5 or 6 back in 1977 or 1978ish.
