My first was a harrington & richardson inc. model 750 22.cal.s.l.l,r I got it christmass morning of 1977. I still have it today and would never even think about getting rid of it. I was 7 years old and proud . Dad and I sanded down the stock and he let me pick out the stain we used to refinish. Every dime I could make went to shells .This year when dad gets down here for the winter we are going to wood burn the stock. Then when I turned 15 he passed down my Remington 16 ga. 870 wingmaster. It is sharp. not a mark on it .This last year my grandfather just turned 92. He sent me a springfield 12ga singel shot.and a Mauser c-96 Red 9 with 100% matching # it is 90 to 95 % I an so blessed I have a great father , and grandfather. None of these will ever by sold I will always look and shoot these and remamber both of them. God blessed me and I pray he will bless all of you.
