[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 230222, member: 367"] This thread makes me smile. I wish I would have kept some of those old empty boxes over the years, My Dad had stocked up after the WWII shortage, Mostly shorts and longs but there was also a few old boxes of long rifles that said "range 1 1/2 miles " on the inside flap of the box. I was pretty young when I started sneaking the old 22 and a few shells out of the house when I did evening chores and It turned into an addiction until I hit rock bottom. One shell a night at first, Then two and before I knew it was 8 or 10 and I knew I would get caught but I didn't care. Then one day the old man realized supplied were running short and he locked his writing desk where he kept them . After a long dry spell I pried the desk open with a screwdriver and he confronted me and I fessed up and he gave me all his guns and ammo. I had been begging for a 410 but ended up with a sears roebuck bolt action 12 gauge instead. The good old days, It feels like it happened yesterday. [/QUOTE]
