No Remington lever guns that I know of. Maybe a Winchester?
I (we?) grew up in a different time. I had BB guns for as long as I remember. Dad let me shoot his Stevens 12 ga. double when I was about 8. That’ll teach you respect for what a gun can do. First “real” gun was a savage .410 pump when I was 10. Shot a lot of doves and rabbit with that.
That was about 20 guns ago. Never traded or sold any one of them execept for that first pump. I traded it to a guy I worked with as a first gun for his son. Don’t know why Dad went along with my interest in firearms. He was an Eagle Scout and maybe that had something to do with it. He had very little interest in hunting, or shooting for that matter.
I do know this. Teaching kids about guns at a young age makes them safer. No curiosity-killed the cat type things cause if you want to handle the weapon, shoot or want to know anything about it then Dad was there to make sure you did it safely. We had 4 boys in the house and several weapons available and no “accidents” or foolishness, ever.
Anyway, thanks dad for taking the time with me and my brothers to ensure that if it ever comes to it, we all know how to take care of ourselves and our families.
I was thinking the same thing. I am only 42, so maybe its growing up in a different place. I grew up around guns. I can remember being about 5 or so and going out with dad and shooting his .243. Had a BB gun when I was 8....a .22 when I was 11 and a 20 guage when I was 13. I've still got that 20 guage.
Today...my kids enjoy shooting the 20 gauge, 12..., 243, 30-06, Mini-14...you name it. My boy, 11, had his own 22.
Can't imagine life any different way.
