Do you have any criteria to who will get any of your guns?
I myself been struggling with just who should get certain guns. Very few take care of guns like I do. My two sons don't take care of their guns in a manner that would have me feel comfortable handing certain guns down to them. I would turn over in my grave if I knew the guns were being neglected. Many of you know, a little rust or a few dings can turn a highly sought after gun into just a everyday shooter that can bring it's value down by as much as 50% or more. Many of the guns I have are no longer made. There are only so many that are still in good shape. When their gone. their gone.
Others I have are of little interest to my sons. They don't look to be traveling or being able to afford high dollar big game(dangerous game) hunts. My wife loves to bird hunt but she only likes her guns. She has no interest in my shotguns. They don't fit her and in her opinion kick to much. She likes her shorter stocked gas auto loading 12ga's.
I would like nothing more then some to stay in the family for many more generation's. Some have come from several generations back.
How about you guys, any thoughts on when it comes time to pass down your guns?
