Here are two pictures of my grandpappy's Browning (FN) A5. (I have other inherited guns as well, but this is the only one I have pictures readily available for.





sorry about the size... Forgot how to resize them through here.

Those are some cool ones. I've only inherited one gun thus far but all my grandparents are still alive.

I have both of my grandfathers' .22's. One is an octagon barrel. Love that gun, but it weighs about 50 lbs.

I have a crack barrel 20 gauge my uncle gave me. Nothing special, but his dad traded a down on his luck guy a tank of gas for it. Just like the story.

And I'm in line to get my grandfather's German Luger. Was passed down to him by his uncle, who took it off a dead officer back in the war. That'll be a shelf piece.

My dad inherited my grandpa's 1914 Paratrooper Luger P08. It's one of those with the long barrel, either 8 or 9 inches. I've only shot it at one range session and it was pretty cool. Hate that grip angle though...

I'll try to get a picture of it tonight.

EDIT: Why is this anchored?
