An Italian made Carcano that, according to family legend, saw action on the Russian front during WWII.

I still have it and love it.

.22 back on the farm. We all got one when we turned 7 and learned to shoot and basic guns safety shortly thereafter (1953).

My first gun was a Argentinian Luger which I bought for $40 in 1960 thru a newspaper’s ad in Birmingham, AL.

No questions asked.

[Mr. Peabody]

Ruger Blackhawk.

And shotguns don’t fire bullets. They fire shells.

"I purchased a box of bullets"

For a 12 ga., I'd get a mixed case.

" I actually won't be able to drive my 'new friend' home until later this month, after a background check".

For a SHOT GUN! W.T.F.?

Do you live in Russia?

An Italian made Carcano

According to legend, a Carcano was used on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, Tx.

Ruger Standard .22 pistol. Bought it at age 14 with paper route money ($37.95).* No ID, no background check, no wait. Passed it on to my beautiful stepdaughter a couple of years ago.

My first was a Revelation 22 semi automatic rifle from Western Auto. I eventually traded it for a .410 single shot shotgun.

Hi Mr. Peabody, Yes, I am in Central San Rafael, the ‘heart’ of Marin County.
Have you been to China Camp before? Nice walkable, dirt road park. Be ready this spring to share those dirt roads with aggressive wild turkeys guarding their chicks.

If you feel like it, you could post pics and get answers on the type of Carcano it is at this forum, in the Italian section. (An a-hole named dynachrome hangs out there, too)
