At 13, I also had a bolt action .22LR for plinking, a 20 gauge pump for birds, and a Marlin .35 REM for deer. Still have the real guns, but I don't know what ever happened to the BB gun.
I had a Winchchester 62A pump in .22 short in like new condition and a .32 H&R nickel plated top break revolver, and a .69 Tower flintlock pistol, but they got stolen, along with the Blue Streak, in a 1975 burglary. (Oakland) The Blue Streak I have now I got in '76 and it still works fine. Still pissed about the 62A, as it was my grandfather's and passed down to me, the only other conservative in the family interested in shooting sports. I did end up later with a couple of mint Model 12's, both made the same year as the 62A (1954). With your XL100, you were waaaay ahead of the curve. Remember the Hodaka Combat Wombat 100's? I really, really wanted one. Super cheap, and good performers. Until they weren't!
