    What's broke on it?

    The stock was cracked. Ive never messed with it but there is a little rattle in it and it wont extract the shell. Last time I opened my safe it fell out when I wasnt quite paying attention and it fell out. The stock ended up breaking off, pretty sure the stock mount bolt broke.

    If your ever in this neck of the woods I can take a look at it for you.

    Thanks for this thread. I lost my Dad last year and this brings back a lot of memory's. I have been sitting here trying to think of the first gun I shot but the only thing that comes to mind was my Dad taking me squirrel hunting behind the house I was maybe 7 or 8 he let me carry the 410 and we walked down the hill from the house maybe 50 yards and we sat down on a stump. I remember seeing the squirrel comming down a tree and Dad said shoot it. I aimed and pulled the trigger. I don't know who's smile was bigger mine or his. Dad helped me skin it and Mom cooked it. I carried that tail around for a long time after that. I miss you Dad thanks for all you taught me.

    Got my first Daisy BB gun when I was 4 and learned firearms safety and hunting so well that I got a bolt action Sears 22 for Christmas when I was 7 with 22 short ammo only , then with no safety issues I got a single shot .410 when I was9. then worked my way up to a M60 at 18

    I don't believe I could look that serious holding an M60... I'd be all giggly like a little kid.
