Brent,
How would you like to adopt a 71 year old son?

Naw, you would have to will it back to me, and then I'd be stuck again.

I have a more or less matching highwall in .45-70 that might have to go with it though

Seriously, what to do with these things is something I think about, not so much because I feel me end in eminent, but because most of the folks I shoot with are older and are, themselves going through this.

I don't have a "collection" per se, but there is some value in what I have, and at some point it will go somewhere - or many somewheres, much like the Petrov collection (one of which is now in my basement).

Brent,
I have 2 boys, both in their 40's. I have told them they can keep what I have or sell what I have and to remember that the first dollar they get for anything is all profit. If sell is what they choose then don't forget what the mission is. I won't know!

Hey Brent

we don't think you are an evolutionary dead end, more like a pinnacle of evolution, btw, was that little 22rf that you passed on a Meriden?

Fred

Fred,
Many pinnacles (well 99.98% of them anyway) have gone extinct, so i'm pretty sure that pinnacle or not, I'm a dead end. The rifle was a Hopkins and Allen 722.
