Nope, first airgun was sold for spending money when I went to the army and I gave my first .22 pistol to my fiancée while I was away working. First centre fire pistol was sold to pay for my first Glock.
Sold all my handguns in 2002 to come back here...

The first gun I ever owned myself was the No.4 I built...
The first gun I paid money for is my .308" Musgrave, which seems to go from strength to strength as I struggle away behind it.

Yep that counts. Thats a collectors item now.
Really??? I even have my old boys .177 smooth bore air rifle from 1939/1940. Pity the bead off the front sight got broken may moons ago.

I'm dubious. I have a BSA meteor sitting in my cabinet too. doesn't strike me as a "collectors item" too much :/

Gat style Diana pistol and a side by side cork gun that I used to load with ashes from the fire to give "real" smoke, both long gone along with the ubiquitous spud guns and Lone Star, die cast, cap guns.
The fact that this was over half a century ago is troubling enough if thought about.
Oh happy days.

In that case I have a BSA Airsporter acquired around the same time.
