I still have the Sears Model 101-10041 .410 shotgun my parents bought me when I was about 9 years old...would've been around 1969 or 1970. The squirrel population in east Texas is a lot lower because of that gun. I happened to see it in the back of the safe a week or two ago and just had to put a few rounds through it. Ahh...the memories.

I bought a Mini-14GBF and a stainless GP-100 at the Western Auto in Plattsmouth, NE back in 1988. First guns I ever bought for myself. Spent almost $700 for both of them.
