Family. Guns are unanimously strong in my family, even in my extended family.
I didn't really have much in the way of resources in my early 20s, but after finally receiving that shotgun, I just logically progressed to pistols, rifles, carrying, then advocating for 2A.

Friend of my dad's 20 gauge shotgun, age...16 or 17. We popped off a few rounds into an empty field for New Year's.
>What was the first firearm you purchased for yourself? Age?
I'm not entirely certain which one was first, but it was either a knockoff 870 (New England Pardner Pump) or a Henry Survival Rifle. I was 18.
>Bonus: What first got you interested/active in guns?
I'm not certain I can attribute it to any one thing. I didn't grow up in an antigun home, thankfully, and my dad was in the Army Reserves (as a POG, sure, but someone's gotta keep the logistics train going). I also played a fair amount of vidya with guns, and watched a lot of Discovery/History Channel.
I remember being enough into guns to doodle them in school as early as 6th or 7th grade (right between Columbine and 9/11, what luck). I actually remember this one cunt yelling at me because an Albanian transfer student (her family had fled to the U.S. because of Kosovo) decided to emulate me doodling guns.
> First shot
Ruger 10/22 at 16
> First purchase
I fell hard for the Mosin meme and bought a hex receiver 91/30 for $150. It was a pretty good deal at the time.
> Interest in guns
I'm pretty sure I was born with it, ever since I was little I've loved cap guns, nerf guns, etc. I really can't explain why. The only vidya I was into as a kid was metroid and Star wars, so it wasn't that.
>>29842202
Also I grew up in a very antigun household, so my childhood affinity is even more confusing.

20 Guage at age 21. Mom thought guns and knives and camping was scary. Met a girl and visited her family in Texas. Her grandpa is the Texas rancher stereotype. Took a liking to me and later got to shoot some ar15s. Later gave me one as a wedding gift because he had an extra 3 lying around.

>Interest
No idea. Entire family is super anti-gun. At some point in my childhood I decided guns were my thing and started trying to sneak myself every toy gun I could. Later it turned to first person shooters.
It stayed super repressed for a long time though, because of the fear of what people would think if I started buying guns. Back in January of this year I got into airsoft, and then in February I wondered why I didn't have any real guns.
Now I have a nugget, the SD9VE, a Garand, the kentucky pistol, a Marlin 100G, and a Cimaron Frontier (on layaway)
That's what two decades of firearm blueballs will do to you I guess.
>First time shooting?
I was like 10-12 in boy scouts and they let us shoot some Ruger 10/22. Fun day

hmmm my first gun had to be an old .22 bolt action, probably when I was 13 or 14.
Never bought a gun, only had them given to me. I got my first when I was probably 15.
My grandpa got me into it. He's got quite the collection that's all going to me when he passes. Luckily I think he's still got a good amount of time left. Sorry, didn't mean to get sentimental. Pic Related is him when he married his second wife.
>>29841973
>What was the first firearm you ever fired? At what age?
A Nagant gas seal revolver, of all things, and I was 18 or so. It belonged to a reenactor friend and he happened to have it in his truck when we were hanging out up in the mountains, so we fired a few rounds off. My parents are libtards so I never got to shoot when I was growing up.
>What was the first firearm you purchased for yourself? Age?
Hate to admit it, but I've never bought a gun. I'm planning to do so as soon as I move out of California. All I have right now is my grandfather's hunting rifle (Remington 760), and do most of my shooting with friends' guns.
>Bonus: What first got you interested/active in guns?
Movies and TV, I guess, but I'm not sure. Not vidya because I liked guns before I was really playing them, my parents always tell the story of how they gave up on preventing me from having toy guns after I chewed a sandwich into a pistol shape and ran around "shooting" it as a little kid.
first firearm i ever fired was an old bolt action marlin 22lr (cant remember the exact model) when i was 4 years old (25 now)
the first firearm i bought is kind of a tie cause bought them same day, one was a ruger 10-22 and the other was a Stoeger Condor O/U 12 gauge. bought them both as soon as i turned 18
my interest in firearms came from my dad sort of. he would let me shoot his 22 rifle and revolver when i was younger. I would always get frustrated that i couldnt "make the holes as close together as dad did" and would burn through every penny i got for the longest time training with those guns
First time shooting I was 6-7 using an old .22 air rifle.
First gun I bought 1903 Turk Mauser I was 16

Benelli Nova 12ga in Max-4, 28 inch barrel. Bought it with high school graduation money. Dude that sold it to me still works at cabela's and he sold me my SD9VE last month
>interest in guns
I had a bunch of friends who told me cool deer camp stories in elementary school at lunch and when I finally went hunting I was hooked.
Then when I was 14 my best friend in high school's dad was a doomsday prepperbwith a huge arsenal and lots of NFA stuff. Him and I were on the varsity team as a freshman and when we travelled to San Antonio we'd stay at his ranch and shoot full retard AR's and suppressed M1A's and stuff.
Scared the shit out of my parents when I showed them the videos of me shooting full retard guns at tannerite but I've turned my dad and he is in the process of getting his CHL.
An old Marlin 60 when I was in 4th grade, SL I'm guessing 10 years old. Ended up getting it as a gift from my mom's friend, still have it today

I went duck hunting with my dad since before I could even hold a shotgun up. What really got me interested in non-fudd guns was when I was 12. The first year deer hunting, I read an American Rifleman magazine at the cabin and fell in love with scary black rifles. I haven't missed a deer season since, and it was a condition of me being hired that I get every day of gun deer season off at my job. Haven't had a Thanksgiving meal at home since I was 12 and I never plan to have one at home again. Even when I'm too old to go out, I'll hold down the fort.

Every shot I take is a physics experiment. Every firearm I shoot is an engineering marvel...think about how far we've come from the first projectile weapon - throwing rocks. Even my shitty little variable pump air rifle throws lead screaming toward target at ~500mph. The fastest the best of the best throwers (baseball pitchers) can propel a projectile by hand is, what, 90-100mph? Fucking crazy to think about.

I was interested in firearms for a while, but my first duty station was Okinawa, and you can't have guns out there for obvious reasons, so I had to wait a little over two years to buy my own.
My family was really liberal, my mom wouldn't even let me have gun shaped toys. I don't even talk to my mother anymore, the amount of brainwashing she subjected me to against my will frankly makes me sick
Winchester 94-44, at age 4. It was some 44 special, and I was sitting in my grandfather's lap. He braced my shoulder and the gun.
First gun I fired on my own, some 12ga my dad owns at 6. It knocked me on my ass because he didn't feel the need to tell me it would oomf and I was 6.

Hmm, I said this in your thread but you might want to try a box of modern hunting loads. If that doesnt work take it to a gunsmith and see what they can do. Also make sure your gas plug is tightened down
>>29851960
I had a gunsmith check it out and he said the gas cylinder was out of spec. I personally gauged it and tested it on other rifles and it is not out of spec. I have tried hunting loads once but it caused the op-rod to jump out of the groove on every shot It did eject the case though. Also the gas plug is tight and free of carbon.
>>29852036
What the fuck? Maybe its the op-rod its self. I would take it to another gunsmith and see what he says

Got a DDI AK for myself at 17
>>29852090
sounds like a plan, I've just got so many projects at the moment. Broken sks firing pin, primer exploded causing the firing pin to bend in the bolt. Worn out M1 carbine bolt, the ejector flies out on every shot. Then the slide keeps locking back on my Yugo m70a pistol on every shot so I'm currently waiting on the return address sticker to send it back. Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

First -real- firearm was all at once. Handful of pistols from .38spl to .45ACP, and a shotgun. I was 23 or 24. Which was only a year or two ago. It was a cheap add on to the license safety course my instructor offered if people wanted to have some general feel for time behind the sights.
First purchase was last year. A sexy S&W 586 6" .357 mag with blue finish.
I got fascinated with guns at a young age from vidya. Mostly the cheeky kid loving to shoot stuff and enjoying wholesome family games like Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Duke Nukem. But once the console era shifted to discs it was all about WWII games for me. It also sparked my history interest so from there I started doing more research into the 1930s-1950s for... Everything. I'm borderline autistic when it comes to something that gets me interested. I go ham and hold on to it forever.

Given that I grew up in a pretty anti-gun family I did not purchase my first gun until just recently, at the age of 23. I bought a pre-ban Type 56 SKS (Just to note though, through high-school and college I often went shooting with friends and spent enough on ammo to have bought plenty of funs for myself ;_;)

It was definitely a mix of things that sort of gestated over time through all the anti-gun propaganda in my childhood, but if I were to identify the "spark" that may have started it all: The first ever time I remember really thinking "Woah, I want to know more about guns" was watching Die Hard at the age of 7 or 8

>>29841973
I was 7 years old. I found my second oldest brothers Python, he was 17. He said "you like snooping in my shit, well come with me". He took me to the prairie near our house and loaded a single round into that revolver. I could barely hold it up but I pulled the trigger. The recoil set the top of it into my forehead and it made a small gash, blood was spilled.
When he asked if I was happy that I went behind his back and messed with his stuff I only replied " can I shoot it again". I had blood dripping down my face and off my chin from the barrel slamming into my forehead and I only wanted to shoot it again.
My brother Eric, may he rest in pieces, loaded it up and showed me how to hold it.
So there you have it /k/. From better days in the USA, a 7 year old learns about guns. I never looked back. I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the 70's and 80's. A white kid who carried a snub nosed 38 at the age of 13.
My heart aches for the tyranny you youngsters have known. You can't play with the explosives I did growing up on the 4th. You never knew cops who just crack you head when they caught you with some dope or something instead of giving you a charge and fucking with you life. I feel bad you kids never knew real freedom. I really do.
Peace, Rusty.

I just wanted to thank you for giving us all that ammo at MWNF. Nuggetfest was awesome to begin with but you giving away all that ammo was amazing. I never even saw that much ammunition in any of the LGS around my city at onetime. You must have brought 7 or 9 thousand rounds and just said shoot this shit up so I don't have to carry it home.
I know you asked everyone to shut up saying thanks but holy shit dude that was like $5,000 you just gave away. You are the best Rusty, /k/ is lucky you are one of us.
