Great story

I was born after both grandfathers had passed so I never got to experience this bonding. Thats a nice shotgun with more sentimental value than anyone could imagine.

Nice story.

I have a few guns and fact I could shoot 1 every day of a month and never shoot the same one twice in that month.

Of all the guns I have, I had inherited 2. The first one is a 1897 double barral shotgun that had put food on the table for my wifes great grandfather's family. Was told by Father n law the history of it. Now that he has passed, every time I pick it up I thing about him as if it was yesterday.

The second one I have is a 1972 Browning sweetsixteen that was my fathers. He had said that he was going to give it to me one day. Well he passed away and then came Katrina. One of my brothers had it and he had came to my house at the time. At that time, he gave it to me.

From there I had told my son and son n law who ever has my first grandson will get there pick out of the 2 guns I hold close to my heart.

My first Grandson was born back in Aug of this year!
