if it was funky shaped, maybe the mossberg 402 palomino?

I so wanted a lever action .22 as my first gun. My brother got a cheap Savage semi auto, but I wanted something cooler. Of course, a Marlin or Winchester was too expensive so dad found a Palomino for me. It must have had a real dinged up chamber because upon our first trip to shoot it, it was basically a single shot. You had to pry each round out of the chamber after firing it! It's a shame, because it was pretty accurate. Dad took it to a friend who had a gunsmith but he was unaesthetic to make it run reliably so we ended up selling it off. I have no recollection of what it's replacement was, which is a shame. Every boy should have his first gun for years and years. I've seen a couple of the Mossbergs at shows over the years and wod like to buy another one, just never had the spare cash at the right time.
