The one that started it all

[morrcarr67]

I just wanted to share the one that started me down this path of no return.

My Mom gave me this gun for my 18th birthday. Though it was only like $50 at the time; she was a single parent working two part time jobs just to make ends meet, it took her 6 months to save up the money to buy it for me.

I used to have a really nice collection of guns years ago; including a set of 5 Colts all with the same serial number, but when things got real bad I had to sell off my guns.

Except two. This one and the very first rifle I bought for myself.

Who'd of thunk such a small gun would have such a big effect?

Very cool.



Uh, you're gonna have to 'splain the towel before this thread is over.

It's my range towel. An old friend from high school mad it for me.

You've posted other gun pics with it right? Or is my mind playing a deja vu trick on me.

LOL I have that same gun sitting next to me right now.

Yes I have. And I have a new one too. It's a "Punker" ducky.

Do you also have a wubber ducky for the bath?

Wait, nevermind, I don't want to know!

Well hell, punker ducky sounds cool. Trot it on out sometime.

Good story, good mom my friend. I remember when $50 bucks was a lot of money....

My dad bought me a Ruger Bearcat for my 21st birthday. (Washington State).

The old style single action .22 and when you cocked it, the most beautiful RATCHETING SOUND came out....We would load one, skip one, load 4, cock and drop on the empty chamber. Later Ruger decided to install a transfer bar to prevent Discharges when dropped on a loaded chamber. oops....

Good memories.

Thanks.!

Yup, they were known as the "Ring of Fire" gun makers.

The only good thing to come out of that whole situation is this guy named Jason Davis; as in Davis Firearms. Yup he is part of that family.
