RE: What will you do with your guns..........
Saw this posted on another board
I'm giving mine to my son. I'll have to give him a few at a time, maybe if I have another kid, they will be able to pick which ones they want. I'll probably give mos of them away before I die, Most of my rifles are iron sighted, and I don't think they will much use to me 30 years from now, and I might live another 50 or 60 years. Some of them will probably be worth some serious money by then, and I'd like some who appreciates them to have them, rather than my wife selling them off to some unscrupulous collector for pennies on the dollar.

I've already started by giving my son a pre64 model 70. The only trouble with that is that it gave me the bug to buy more guns, crazy isn't it. The rest of my holdings will go to my son and grandkids.

I'd prefer to leave them to a gun enthusiast in the family. If there are no suitable heirs, then I'll have my next of kin sell them (at prices I've determined ahead of time). My paternal great grandfather died in the 60's with an original 1911 (not A1) in his collection. My grandma sold it to a pawnbroker for $20.

Nothing like passing them along to your kids. My son and daughter will split them up and shoot the heck out of 'em. Hopefully they'll live close enough to use the same skinnin' tree.
