A very long time ago I purchased my first rifle at about this time it was shortly after my 14th or 15th birthday.
The few things I've kept throughout the past 40 + years.
I wanted to give my wife something special for our first Valentine's together and I put together a 10/22 for her assembled out of a variety of parts but that included my original stock.
I have found out in the past couple of years she is not real fond of dark colored wood, no pun intended, so I we did hers in a nice blond tone finish.
The old stock had a few bumps and bruises from being in the safe and I recently resurrected at and am revisiting my teenage years...
I know a lot of you guys have your first rifle oh, this one was purchased with my own money at a hardware store in Humble Texas...
The reassembly and modifications will follow there are some parts I'm just not going to use.

I have my first 10/22 that my dad gave me. He was a big Ruger fan, so he ordered it as soon as they were announced. serial number in the low 400's. That one is in the back of the safe and doesn't get shot any more. Next to one of the first M77's in 308.
