[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1581823, member: 38048"] If the people you give your guns to are gun type people they will be appreciated for along time to come. But not all you can give will be something they want or will use. When my grandfather died my greedy ads uncle shot down there and took all his guns. Many of which were used by me when he taught me to hunt. But I found a few items in the house that meant more to me than the guns. Like his favorite candy bowl my grandmother made. First stop for me on every visit to see what was going to be in it. Now I'm crying like a baby. That thing is priceless to me. And nobody wanted it but me. I am a gunsmith and have a lot of full custom guns but my boy likes the 788 I made for him the most and won't let me build him anything better. He nor my girls are going to keep but one each from me that I built for them anyway. But whoever does end up with them will be happy to have them and take care of and use them like I did. When my mom dies she has a closet of old fur coats she what's me to have. Yikes. She loves them. But to me they are useless. Maybe I will make some gloves and a hat out of one of them. But the rest are going. Sorry mom. Mom buy a nice cnc milling machine and leave me that. So to me sentimental and overvalued goes hand in hand. Sentimental is priceless. No money in the world could get that candy jar from me. God will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. Shep [/QUOTE]
