my grandfather gave me my first rifle as a Christmas present when I was 4. My father took the tube magazine Savage semi-auto .22 away from me....and replaced it with a little single shot Ithaca saddle gun. It looked like a half size version of a Marlin 30.-30, with a lever action and everything. I got the tube magazine semi-auto back in a few years. I eventually converted it to full auto. Would go thru every round in the mag if you pulled the trigger once. I think it was something like 17. No way to stop it, at first. Eventually I converted it back.
I was digging post holes and stretchin' "bob wahr" when I was 10. Drinking beer by 12.
