[QUOTE="kdguns, post: 1581885, member: 48504"] Great posts - as I get older, I see the collection disposals more and more. I learned from my grandpa and dad that guns are tools. Buy what you like and the best you can afford and take care of them. I sold most of their stuff because I had better “tools”. I kept the guns that were not worth much because these all had the best stories, were their first, and most used, even by me when I was a kid out learning with them. These will not have the same value to my kids, and to everyone else they are just junkers. My kids like to shoot and hunt, but they do not share the same passion as me, nor do they appreciate finely handcrafted ammunition. While I hope to only have a few favorites left when I pass, a gun collecting buddy of mine and I have made a pact with each other to help the first surviving widow dispose of our gun collections and accouterments without getting fleeced. That said, both our wives likely resent our mistresses and would be happy just to get rid of everything for pennies on the dollar. [/QUOTE]
