Not exactly true.....close maybe

I have a model 92 winchester .25-20 that has been in the family since 1917. It (and I) just returned from South Africa on our first Safari. That gun took a duiker and a springbok. It'll either be given away or inherited or donated to a museum. It'll never be sold.

The firearm I would never sell would be my 1887 Remington 12 gauge with proof steel. My granddad bought shortly after the land run in 1889. he was only 12 and payed $15. for it. I still have the full brass shells for it. It is in the most used condition of any firearm I own. When I look at it I think of the game harvested, preditors removed, and property guarded. My dad and his 3 brothers all hunted with it growing up. It has been thansported more on the back of a horse than in a wagon. You don't sell gifts, you pass them on.

Gentlemen
I really like mauser soo I'm not very fond of selling any of them.

I have a Brno Zg-47 action that I got a Brno ZG 47 action as birthday present from a friend who now is hunting on more distant grounds. I will never sell it.

I also have a few guns who are from my grandparents that I never will sell.

Only have 2 rifles right now. Neither one will ever be sold . One is a 6.5x55 custom and the other is a 30/06 Howa with a custom stock. Both were gifts from friends and will be passed on to my children along with the only shotgun I will never sell (It was my grandfathers).

I have sold the only other rifle I ever had. My wife still complains because it was the one she bought me. [Big Grin]
