[QUOTE="D V US, post: 2587185, member: 34558"] Most sentimental firearm? That's a tough one, almost every one that I keep has sentimental value to it. I can't pick just one but I'll keep the list short. Kinda. My dad's High Standard Double Nine .22 revolver. It was the first real gun I had ever seen, the first gun I ever shot (and what an addiction it started) and when I lost my dad when I was 16 it kept me connected with a lot of good memories. My Super Blackhawk because it was my first center fire handgun. I bought it with money I received when I graduated high school. I taught myself how to do my own gunsmithing and gun customizing on this one. It's a one of a kind and I look forward to the day when it gets handed down to ...one of my children who shall remain unnamed for the foreseeable future. My 1911 .45 because it is the first gun that I built piece by chosen piece. Took me seven years to find all the right pieces to finish it. My Russian SKS. It was my first center fire rifle. I bought it for a cheap deer rifle to go hunting with my cousin. Yes I say cheap because when I bought it it was sitting on one of two gun show tables stacked 10 high with grades ranging from beat up Chinese salvage for $45 at one end to un-issued Russians for $93 on the other. I bought an un-issued Russian because it looked pretty and the un-issued ones had a whole lot less cosmolene to clean off. And it came with a sling. I never did make that hunting trip and I still have the half case of hollow point ammunition I got with it for $50. I've only put maybe 400 rounds through it and it's still as pretty as the day I got it. [/QUOTE]
