No pictures, I have my older brother's Stevens 12 gauge double, my grandfather's Browning A5 12, son Jake has a Remington nylon 66 my father had, gifted by my nephew.

Care to talk about yours?

I have a Model 94 that my grandfather won on a punch board back in the late 1930’s by entering my grandmothers name on the punch board.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I lost all of mine in a fire. Dad had all of his stolen.

We thank you for the sights
from our stands
We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall

I have my Grandfather's Remington 512 .22 rifle. Dad gave it to him new sometime in the late 1940's. We found an apparently new and unfired H&R "Secret Service Special" top break .32 S&W revolver in my late uncle's effects, the only revolver I've ever seen with a safety. My wife inherited two S&W "Safety Hammerless" revolvers, one from her aunt and another from her Grandmother, both in .32 S&W chambering. Grandma's gun also appears to be unfired, and we found a partial box of ammo in the dresser drawer beside it. The 5 missing rounds from the box were in the cylinder.

Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

My 94 came from a 50 cent raffle ticket dad bought in like 1949 or so when he was employed at the Texas Employment Commission in Austin. He gave it to me when he left my mother and us in ‘68. I still have it.

I come from a poor family, any firearms I "inherited" I bought from aging relatives. and then to make matters worse, they all burned in a canoe swamping incident. it was pretty bad.

LOL! This 94 is still in pretty dang good shape. However I have an old rolling block CF sporting rifle i inherited from my grandfather in 1966 that has seen better days! It qualifies as wore out

Colt Bisley 32 WCF from "The Warden"s grandfather - given to him by a former NM State Police motorcycle cop who used it as his duty weapon.

I have my Grandpa's Iver Johnson Champion single shot 12ga.
I remember shooting it as a kid. When you pulled the trigger you could almost see the hurt coming down the stock.
