[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2837727, member: 8394"] This is a conversation that kind of surprises me, gets a lot less play time then maybe it should. I'm on the older half of millennial and my demographic is 58% childless. Add to that the rapid uptick in gun collection sizes that accounts for a tremendous amount of rifles with essentially no one to inherit them as the trees are shrinking instead of growing. I have five nieces and one nephew early indications are that the nephew probably going to be into the guns and one niece appears to have some tangential like of them. If you cone down the family tree like is currently happening.... it's gonna be safes of guns when we start to go. Take my nephew, my mom has a few family guns in her safe, my brother has your basic battery an no other offspring or nephews on his wife's side, his dad has a pretty large selection. Grampa only had one kid, so his will likely also end up with him. I'm probably the loonie of the bunch so even if I split my pile between him and my wife's side.... that guys gonna have a walk in closet case full if pretty nice rifles. My wife's male cousins inherited their grandfather's rifles more than half of which were purchased by the great grandfather. Couple wimchester bolt guns and a few lever actions as well as a model 12 shotgun. Realistically those rifles were 4 generations old when passed down and probably not even halfway through their lifespan. Take a modern full custom,, Realistically it could last hundreds of years with normal hunting use. I know my guns will outlast me.... but none of my barrels will... [/QUOTE]
