Remington 552 Speedmaster. I think it was around 1966-67 when my dad gave this to me. I still have this rifle and it is still in Remington's product lineup. One of the few rifles that shoots .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle ammunition.

My mom bought me a Beretta 92F on my 17th birthday.
I will give that same gun to my son (he's 26) after his wife turns 21 later this year.

My first firearm was given to me by my dad whenever I was 5 years old. It was a Eastern Arms .410 shotgun. That was 1955. It was his gun whenever he was a kid. I still have it after 62 years.
First rifle? I can't remember.
First handgun? Colt Woodsman. I was 12 years old, if I remember correctly.

My dad would never buy me a BB gun. Said they were too dangerous.


Regards,
arlen

SP2022 in 9mm. Dear friend of mine that passed a few years ago was an FFL. He convinced me I needed a handgun. Some days, I curse him for infecting me with this disease. But a least my firearm collection is worth a lot more than my wife's shoe collection.

My first projectile firing gun was a Crosman .177 I received from my dad at age 12. My first actual fire producing weapon was a Valmet 12 gauge over/under I received as a Christmas present from my parents while I was in college.

First one I bought for myself was a Sig P226.

For my 15th birthday my Dad bought me a Remington Nylon 66 rifle, 22LR.
For my 16th he bought me a Fox Model B, 20GA, side by side shotgun.
When I turned 21 I bought myself a S&W Model 19, 4" 357 Combat Magnum.

To this day I still have these in my collection, 51 years after getting the first one. I cherish the 66 and the Model B, great gifts from my Dad who has long passed away.
RIP Dad
