flip a quarter as to who goes first. take turns selecting. Or if there are obvious sentimental attachments w/ a few with a particular sibling, remove them from consideration. I'd want my kids to be happy when they get my guns passed down.

This and so sorry for your lost.

To help in my case, I have been giving my guns to my kids and grandson. I just have two rifles, a couple handguns and a couple shot guns left. Done told them what is what and who gets what.

Did that with a bunch of land too! The only thing I own now is my home place. Did this due to my health and don't want Uncle Sam to take anything.

Something else to consider w/ guns and other personal items when someone passes is to have the father/grandpa etc help make some decisions before they pass. Either in the will or in gentlemen agreements w/ the siblings so that there is some equitable division on who gets what and then the parent/grandparent has some input so if there are sentimental reasons for the choices they can be made. Its better to make the decisions prior to a passing – after the passing there is lots of stress and unfortunately greed as well enters into the equation. My grandmother and wife’s grandmother did this before they passed so when it came time to divide items it was already predetermined and no in fighting occurred.

Nothing worse than someone getting something who doesn’t appreciate it and sells it immediately when others would really like to have it.

Sorry for your loss
