We have all had relative's die and watched the free fall fighting over what was the deceased left behind. I could make a list and hope my wife got everything to who I want to get it. But I have choose to give my guns out before I pass away. This way there is no hurt feeling ,confusion or mistakes made.
The first gun I gave to my nephew was an H and R pardoner 20 ga. for his son when he got older . I gave my brother my Belgium made Browning16ga he broke down in tears when he opened the case and saw it. I have a single shot 22 Glenfield 10 I am putting a red dot sight on for 2 of the grandkids to learn with. Plus a model 25 ,7 shot is getting the same sight for another grandson. I still have a good many more to give to the kids . What I m trying to do is have the gun in good shape and ammo for it when I give it to them.
The first of the week Harry at Self Sufficient Mountain Living. had a link for 8mm in striper clips from AIM. I ordered 5 boxes of them (they look like new) but are date 11/53 . I doubt I could shoot my 8 mm Mauser in the shape I'm in it would break my shoulder . Wal mart is 39.95 plus tax for a box of 20 I got 75 in stripers for 45.17 tax shipping and all. Just to give away!
I have other things besides my guns I am finding homes for. The more I get done the less the wife will have to worry with.
I guess the best way to make sure the guns go to who you want them to, is to do what you are doing. Making sure they get to people who will take care of them, and appreciate them, kind of sets a fellows mind at rest.
ReplyDeleteMy wife wants me to start thinning out my collection, but my son and daughter have asked me to hold off until we see if they will be moving back here in the next few years. So I know how you feel about.
Harry with the number you have accumulated over the years you wife may be right. Assign who gets what on paper and what should be sold. You know the value of them better than any one. Now that said you can all way take the sale money and buy CDs or sealed cans of ammo.:)
DeleteAgree with you and Harry above, so much better that you choose the home the cherished item goes to. Safe Queens are one thing but the sentimental favorites that provided you a lot of great memories - very hard to do. My condolences for that.
DeleteI know it is tough Gary, but what you are doing is the proper way to insure your "items" become the property of whom you chose. Are you looking for 8mm stripper clips or ammo? Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteJeffery it has been a joy to give the items away so far. I have a ways to go as far clearing out.
ReplyDeleteDo you need some 8mm stripper clips?
ReplyDeleteNo, it was the price. The stripper clips were a bonus.
DeleteHi Gary, Have not been able to write no internet. Autocorrect makes a mess. Puts in foreign words. Pray for you. God bless you . Glad you are getting nourishment. Lotes of love, debby johnson harvey
ReplyDeleteDEB thanks for the prayer. See if your state is one with Att all access. its 10 $ a month for low income residents.
