    Just want to thank the guys who sent me a PM regarding my listing of the M1 carbine, which is illegal in NJ. You are correct to be concerned, because there are more than just a few cops reading this f

  • Mine was a Savage MKII .22LR. I bought it May20th or 30th I believe. I bought it about 3 hours after picking up my FID. I still have it, though I do sometimes consider trying to trade it for a lever

  • Fantastic!!! I wasnt even thought of then. Are any of those cap and balls?

Glock 23 was my first purchase still have 2010

Mossberg 500a1 usmc screw up still have 2010

M&p 15-22 only a month or 2 old and love it 2010

Revolver - S&W 686-1 (1999) - gone

Pistol - Colt Commander Series 80 (2000) - gone

Rifle - Marlin 1894 Lever 44mag (2008) - gone

Shotgun - Mossberg 500 Pump (2008) - gone

 

The only one I would want back now is the Colt Commander (the parkerized one from the 90's with the big ugly rollmark on the slide). I started out buying what other people recommended I buy. Hopefully i am finally at the point where I only am buying things I know I will keep. We'll see.

Rifle: Marlin 60, 1977 maybe? Don't have it.

Shotgun: 20ga 1978ish. Don't have it.

Pistol: Ruger Mark II, don't have it but I have another. I'm going to say 1989.

Rifle: Tikka T3 Lite (.308) - 2009

Handgun: PT 1911 (.45) - 2009

Mine was a Savage MKII .22LR. I bought it May20th or 30th I believe. I bought it about 3 hours after picking up my FID. I still have it, though I do sometimes consider trying to trade it for a lever .22. Just the fact that it was my first gun makes it hard to consider doing that though.

 

My first centerfire was my VZ24 I bought of J0n. Got it at a great deal, and never regretted it. I do wish I got to shoot it more.

 

And that's all the guns I own, until I can find a nice semi-auto rifle, which is what I'm looking for now. Then, I'll get a shotgun.

 

Don't care much for pistols, but when I turn 21 I'm planning on maybe getting a Five-seveN, or a Luger.

Handgun: Springfield XD9 purchased June 2010

Shotgun: Mossberg 590A1 purchased April 2011

Shotgun: Benelli Nova 12ga. 2001. Still have it and shoot it regurarly.

Rifle - Flobert rimfire bolt action rifle -1982 (I have no idea where it is nowadays... I left it back in Europe, where I lived as a kid)

 

Shotgun - I inherited my grandfathers old 12 Gauge Francotte SxS - 1984 (Left it back in Europe, where I lived as a kid. My uncle has it but will manage to bring over to the US some day.)

 

Handgun - Beretta 92A1 - 2011 (Still have it and shoot it often)

Rifle - Flobert rimfire bolt action rifle -1982 (I have no idea where it is nowadays... I left it back in Europe, where I lived as a kid)

I was gonna put that as my first gun as well (altho the timeline was probably closer to the early 90s for me), but it was a present and I wasn't sure it "counted"... not to mention I wasn't sure if it's technically a rifle or a shotgun. Mine is also sitting in a closet in Europe :good: I've been trying to find one here, but all I find is the 9mm ammo.
