Welcome to the fire...KeithNyst wrote:New here today. Absolutely - back in the mid-60s as a kid I always read the Sports Afield my dad subscribed to; in the back there was a page that you could check off any of the manufactures that had advertised to have them mail catalogs. Needless to say, I checked off many. Of all the catalogs that came, I always like the looks of, and wanted a Savage 99, but could not afford one. I finally scratched that itch a couple of years ago and now enjoy learning and acquiring them on a small scale.
Yes! And more than one for sure! Since I grew up in the 50's watching westerns on TV, I had an infatuation with guns from the Old West. Most of what I own today are guns I could barely afford when I bought them, but I saved until I could, and added more along the way. To this day, there are still guns on my "bucket list" that I want simply because I've been enamored with them since I was very young!jnyork wrote:In your later years, have you ever bought a gun just because it was one you longed for in your youth but couldn't afford then, or you were just too young?

Ever single one I own. Except a couple. How young is "...in your youth..." Except for my bb-gun, I didn't want any until the Navy quit giving me them!!!jnyork wrote:In your later years, have you ever bought a gun just because it was one you longed for in your youth but couldn't afford then, or you were just too young?
that was on my list too, found one a couple years back and another one more recently [ needed a spare ]geobru wrote:I just scratched an itch with a 1941 vintage H&R Sportsman 22 cal. double action pistol. A buddy had one, I shot it and liked it, and 5 years later, I ran across the second one I have ever seen.
yep , you can, but you have to search for them..... i wanted one too, with the adjustable sights. i now have them in the 4 3/4', 5 1/2", and 7 1/2", in the box and with both 22 lr and 22 wmr cylinders. and dang but those puppies shoot well ! way better than any ruger 22 revolver that i have.jackruff wrote:The gun I really wanted when I was a young adult was a Colt Frontier Scout, but I couldn't afford one so I got an H&R nine-shot .22 revolver. I still have the H&R and a whole bunch more, but not the Colt. (Could you even find a Frontier Scout now?)
