Calico M100

Now that is a unique first .22.

I bought an M100 also back in the 80's. It was fun to fire all 100 rounds on "full semi automatic".

Marlin-Glenfield Model 25 Bolt Action w/7 round mag-- Still got it!

Springfield Model 87A that had been my dad's and he gave to me when I hit 10.

All y'all Lower Alley and Manor types, we lived in Manor on Beverly from June 72 and I moved out early 78. Went to CZMHS.

Wifey grew up on Essington in Manor. Our wedding reception was at Manor Country Club. The Thompson twins went to school with us at RHS. THeir dad owned Bish Thompsons and they lived in Flower Valley.

I worked at the Rustlers in twinbrook in HS. hahahaha Gentleman Jims pizza was awesome then. My math teacher co owned the twinbrook tap room. I think I mentioned this before.

We graduated in 84.

Graduated in 86. Don’t remember the Twinbrook rap room but did visit Gentlemen Jim’s a few times. Didn’t belong to Manor CC but played there once or twice. My best friend’s dad was a starter there for several years.

I mostly lurk these days since questions are usually answered before I see them. Since I'm in Alabama now there's not much I can contribute to fighting the continued ass rape perpetrated by the General Asylum on all fronts, not just guns.

I was a kid, and thought it looked fun. It sure was. Sadly, I turned it, along with a few others, in to a PD in PA before moving to MD. Not worth any headaches.

A Marlin Glenfield mod. 25. Purchased from E.J.Korvettes on Joppa Rd. circa 1975

Magnumite · Feb 27, 2019

Dang, the Korvettes name rings a yesteryear bell for me.

Pinecone · Feb 28, 2019

Yeap, back in the day.

And you could be firearms from Sears and Wards. Both even had their own branded lines. Wards had the Hercules line.

Also firearms at K-Mart. And a lot of rural hardware stores had them also.

A folding Springfield M6 Scout rifle. It was a .22/.410 combo. Although it wasn’t an original, I knew the Air Force used something like it in the 50’s-70’s.

I bought it from Schelin Guns in College Park. I still have the original receipt. It’s curled up, yellow, and fading. The rifle is still in great shape!

Me, too. Had them in the Chicago area when I was growing up.
