This quote below is me, except I was 7, got the rifle when I was 13 and I just lost my Father in April.

The single most important gun I own is not very expensive .

It is a remington 550-1 .22 semi auto ..

The reason it is the most important to me is , It was the first gun I ever shot in my life , It was my fathers gun , when I was around 3 or 4 years old he would hold it up for me and let me pull the trigger ...
He finally gave it to me when i got married and moved out on my own ,
And since i just lost my father in november it has come to mean even more than ever to me ...

The most expensive is the one I paid the most for, the most important is the one I'm closest to when I need it...God forbid I ever do actually need it but it's looking more and more like I will one day.

I sadly lost all of my firearms in the great flood of the year you know the one. I just post pics of my buddies guns and claim them. Hehe!!!

I have to change my "most important" gun from my IHC Garand to a single barrel 12 ga Winchester 37 that my father bought for me at Heldt & Voelker hardware store on west Franklin street in Evansville in 1962. It kicks like a mule but that was my first gun and he laid out the outrageous sum of $26. A real father/son moment. Dad died in '95.

My most valuable is a 16ga JC Higgins Bolt-Action shotgun that my father picked up when I was a kid. Last time I was at a gun show, someone had one on a table for $100.
My father refinished the stock and it was the first shotgun I ever shot and the one he'd let me carry when we went bird hunting. He lives across the country now and I have boys of my own, but I'll never forget those precious times. It has always been a great gun, and I've several times out shot pump gun folks with it when we tossed some clays in the air. I have since worn out the carrier assembly and have tried unsuccessfully to find a replacement. So now it sits and gets taken out and oiled occasionally.

I don't know the value, but all of my grandfather's guns are priceless to me. When he passed away, his guns were split up between his children. Out of the ones we have (quite a large number), I enjoy using the Belgium Superposed and Belgium Auto-5 the most, but I enjoy retelling the stories associated with his Browning Safari in .458 Win and his Weatherby V in .460 Wby.

colt 45

 

[pinshooter45]

Since my budget has always been tight the most exspensive gun I have is my Bushmaster AR 15, the most prized is my Mauser I refinnished.

 

[fullauto 45]

My fullauto Thompsons.

 

[1911 mike]

Mine would be a Semmerling 45. Value? $4,200---LOST in a Boating accident

 

[Yukon227]

A plain 10/22 that was bought for me as a gift for 1 year of sobriety.

 

[phylodog]

I've got a lot wrapped up in this piggie.

 

[NinnJinn]

My most expensive, would have to be my first and so far only gun... Ruger P94 40sw


Just out of curiosity, all this talk about "lost in boating accident".... Is it some sort of an inside joke, amongst members here? Or are there a lot of idiots that don't know how to drive a boat?

 

[semperfi211]

My High Standard Shadow 12ga. Not because of dollar value. Because it was my first gun and my Dad gave it to me.
