I never owned a firearm until my best friend took me rabbit hunting. He let me use one of his Winchester 63's. His dad gave him two of them. Well that got me hooked, the very next week I went out an bought my first Winchester 63 for $90, still have it.

My first handgun was a Pre Model 27, 6 1/2" Bbl. gold box, papers etc. Paid $100 for that one and like a fool sold it some years later.
