[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2003349, member: 10291"] I have had that situation arise a couple of times. In my case, I treated each firearm in relation to degree of provenance associated. At 14 years old I was given my grandfathers SXS shotgun, bought in the early 1900’s. It was his only firearm ever owned, had many stories associated with it, and was used extensively. It has been treated as a family heirloom, and I will pass it down as such. Selling it never even crossed my mind. In another case, my uncles rifle was passed on to me. It was rarely if ever shot, stored away for years, and with no history attached to it. He wasn’t a shooter or hunter, and I doubt he would care much what I did with it. I ended up replacing it with one that better met my needs........IMO, each case is different. [/QUOTE]
