Good story. I can remember the Christmas my uncle (my mother's only brother) came in the door with a Marlin Model 60 .22...it was my mother's father's rifle. He walked across and said, "Here this was PawPaw's...it's yours now." I remember looking at my dad, because up until that point, I'd never had a gun of my own....Dad said, "You better take it."
I still have it 20 some odd years later..and it still fires true. Damn fine squirrel gun too.

My Grandfather had a Winchester model 12 in 12 gauge.
He gave it to my father to hunt with when he was a kid.
My father gave it to me and we hunted many times together.
I have given it to my son. He's not much of a hunter, but you could not pry it out of his hands if you tried!! It goes to his kid when the time is right.
Guns were a valuable asset around the home in years gone by. Handing down these heirlooms is a great tradition that thankfully survives today.
