For Xmas in 1957 my Dad bought me a new Remington Model 510...He took it to his friend and had a peep sight installed. In 1958 I joined our local gun club..YMCA sponsored..We had an indoor .22 range in a downtown building that we used for free..but little to no heat in the cold days. We could buy Remington 6122 bricks for $5.I still have the gun..Years ago I found a nice figured walnut stock for it. I take it out to my woods now and then..In 1959..I got a Stevens 311 20 gauge M/IC..Used to carry it on my bike on my morning paper route..and stop at a woods to squirrel hunt..Years ago I had Dennis Earl Smith restock it with XX wood and convert to straight grip. I hope one of the kids cares for them like I have. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all...jv..
