I grew up with a single shot .22 I got when I was in 6th grade. Shot a
lot of squirrels and rabbits
with that little bugger.

My first gun was a model 69 Winchester (22rf) and I still have it.
It has a box magazine either 7, 10 or 15 rounds.

My dad had lots of guns. So I did not buy my first firearm until after I
was married. Just used dads. First I bought was an Ithaca 20 Featherlite.
Liked dads so much, and he moved away, so had to have one.

That little .22 I had was my grandfathers. Don't know what happened to it. After my dad died, my mom
auctioned off everything in the house and moved to Seattle with the other brothers. I was in the
Army then. I think that rifle must've been sold in the auction - along with all my Lionel train
stuff that would probably be worth a small fortune today!
