My Dad's old Trooper MK .357 revolver bought in 1977 that's only been shot 9 times is pretty special to me.

I have my grandfather's deer rifle. Nothing too old (early 90's) but i have many fond memories hunting with him and seeing him carry that rifle. He was a short man @ 5ft tall and that rifle was only about 9-10" shorter than him

Browning A-bolt 7mm rem mag in s.s. with custom muzzle break and swarovski 4x12x56.

Got an old Springfield 1903 chambered in .30-06. Was always told it was my great grandfather's war rifle, but I know for a fact that it was his deer hunting rifle. He, along with my pawpaw and his brothers killed plenty deer with this rifle.

Got a 1975 "The Marshall" Double-Nine, .22 Revolver. I want to say these were special editions made in '73-'75. Can't remember off the top of my head.

My grandpa used it as his snake gun for all these years until he passed in '14. It still has a great finish and beautiful look to it. When I have a son, it will be his one day.

only one I have is my pawpaws old savage 24 .22/.410 combo...pretty sure it was his rabbit hunting gun...looks like its seen some stuff though.

I've got a 1941 Remington 550 that was my grandfather's that I still love to shoot.

M1 Garand.

Pop didn't actually fight with it, but he was in Germany in the post war era when the Germans were still not allowed to own guns. He was in an American division that worked hand in hand with the Germans to collect weapons from civilians who still had them. The story goes that when it was collected, a spent shell casing was still stuck in the action, which jammed and ultimately led to the soldier being killed. No telling how true that is, it didn't come to me in that condition and I've never fired it.


One of the thing that causes me the most pain is not writing down some of these stories before Pop died last month.

Love you Pop. Miss you.

I inherited my Great Grandfather's Remington Sportsmans 58. Maybe not all that expensive but what's so special is this man loved to squirrel hunt. He left the house one morning to do that very thing he loved and never returned. They found him propped up against a tree with this shotgun in his arms.

I'll never part with it only to pass it down to my son.

I have a Winchester Model 97 and a Model 12 that I inherited. These guns were passed around by family in Chackbay, Thibodaux area. Would love to know how many animals have been taken with them
