Keep wasting your grandchildren's inheritance on guns that will eventually get rebarreled and nobody will ever know what it was because the literature will eventually be lost, and most kids won't give a fuck, they just don't want grandpa's old "Gomer Pyle" .308 because it's not "hip or cool", and will want it chambered in some new cartridge 20 years from now, or sell it to someone for a couple hundred bucks for crack or alcohol money... I have literally seen this happen on numerous occasions.
interested in the specific details in the story of an $11,000 collector gun sold for a few hundred bucks? the crack head kids didnt have the internet to be able to see what the gun was worth? literally, this is very interesting to me.
i mean, this really makes me reconsider things. how have we had heirlooms passed down for 150 years? i guess some people just got lucky.
anyway, i think ill start selling all my guns now. i dont want my kids, who i will ABSOLUTELY NOT educate them on guns and shooting and the enjoyment of shooting sports, and history of gun manufacturing and their usage in historical world conflicts, to sell all my AWs for crack, strip them down to parts just to buy alcohol, or rebarrel them into some Federal 5.9 frontcountry magnesium cased cartridge or some such, just so they can strip it down for crack later.
it just seems like too big a risk to take. you guys have really opened my eyes.
