Dad gave me a Remington 870 at 12. I would walk to a friends house carrying it all the time. He had a 410. Woods were noisy and folks didn't think anything of it

What was your very FIRST gun growing up.

Besides a Daisy Red Ryder, My 1st official rimfire rifle was a 1966 Remington Nylon 66. I still have it. Original case, Apache Scope and manual.
It’s the black and chrome version pre serial number

Like others on here I can't remember the first popgun, bb gun, cap gun...too many years ago and they were in an endless stream.
First real firearm was a Remington 550-1. Daddy gave it to me and I swear it was longer than I was tall! Still have it and it still shoots sweet!

I also enjoy this same fine weapon. Thanks.
I'm mostly a Rem 700 guy now, but I still have a place in my heart for the M-70.
Now if I'd known toy guns counted; multiple cap pistols etc. The truly great first gun was a Johney 14 that my brother bought and gave me for Xmas, had an M-14 just like him
Now the truly dangerous Guns came years later. At work we got these red thick rubber band that were about a foot long. One year I used my home gunsmithing skills and made two rifles, one for each son then about five and seven. I presented said weapons to them and my EX wife bent over to pick something up just as they got loaded hot. Two seconds later my two sons scored bullseyes on the stretched fabric of her a##. I still don't recall what happened to those rifles.

The Fanner 50 also shot spring loaded bullets
For me Daisy 880 and firearms wise Mosin Nagant 91/30 and Heritage Rough Rider.
Remington.22, dad bought it from a family member second hand when I was 13/14 yrs old.
Yea, it's the rifleman's rifle no doubt. A legend. I just don't dig the Mauser safety. Other wise I'd probably love it. The rifle is mint. I'll have to give a real college try. He also has a A5 Sweet Sixteen, Belgian made. Beautiful wood. If I was younger, I wouldn't know any better. I've moved on from the sixteen and an A5. But it's a beautiful gun. I got to shoot it several years ago, it's nice.
