[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3045468, member: 13337"] My first was a Winchester Model 189? pump in .22 short,,, I got it for $5.00 at a farm auction back around 1960-ish or so. When I looked at it I would have sworn it had the magazine rod,,, But after Dad went to get it after I won the bidding,,, The rod was missing so it was a single-shot. Pop (many years later) admitted that he took the rod and tossed it,,, He was adamant that I only owned a single-shot rifle,,, I had the gun until I went into the service in 1970. Dang but that was a precise shooting little rifle,,, Literally hundreds of county dump rats met their maker due to it. On leave between Tech School and my assignment to Germany,,, I gave the rifle to my baby brother. My other brother told me he traded it for a bag of weed within a month of me leaving,,, It's a good thing I was on another continent with an ocean between us,,, I might have throttled the ungrateful snot on the spot. Oh well,,, Aarond . [/QUOTE]
