It is interesting that except for Sharps 4590 all first guns were shotguns. Out west the shotgun is almost unheard of as a game getter. The single shot 22 rifle was the first gun for most kids in my arena, Mine was the obscure Winchester model 55 automatic single shot. Wish I still had it.
My oldest daughter has mine. Interesting rifle. I took it apart a couple of times. Pretty tough to put together again.
