I was always of the belief that a man's guns should go to his children/grandchildren.This was due to the ,maybe mistaken,hope that they would mean as much to them as my own dad's and grandfather's(also uncle's, old friend's)guns mean to me.I,more and more,am being disappointed by the attitude of some inheritors of old guns.In a gunshow, I was once asked to buy an old rifle, the owner of which said belonged to his grandfather.At the same time, his son was standing next to him.While I believe a man can do what he wants with his property,I refused to be the one that took that boy's greatgrandfather's rifle from him.It was in good shape, but old rifles like that one are not worth much to anyone else, yet could be priceless to an heir.Once it is gone from the family, it has lost it's Id and real value.The last time I saw the man, he was leaving with a plastic stocked, stamped part modern gun, over his shoulder, and a sad son following. I think, now, my opinion might have to change. Thanks for allowing me to "rant".
