you pass? Is there a family member that will use them or will they just be sold off?

My Son has told me he "must" get my Marlin 1895XLR in 45-70. Other than that I have a 22LR lever or pump for the rest of the grandkids. As for the rest......I dunno. But as long as I offer the 22's to them, it will be their choice as to if they want them, or want to sell them and keep the money. None of that is high dollar value rifles.

I only hope my wife doesn't sell them for what I told her I paid for them. 😀

Too young to care. Dont even want to contemplate that. Never too young. I'll put it this way. I really don't care what happens to them. They're just steel, wood, and plastic. They can take them to a Pawn shop for all I care. |

There is a special one that I want to give to a hunter, a bird hunter, with the codicil that he uses the gun and then gives it gratis to another hunter. In 2022 the gun will have been with me 60 years. No one in my family small game hunts or specifically bird hunts so it will go to someone who will use it and appreciate the quality.
The rest can go to who ever wants them from the family. A granddaughter already has dibs on a few. She got her deer with one this past season in Md. a Rem 700 ADL in 22-250 had that since the 70's got a small army of groundhogs with that one. But she bought a 243 during black Friday sales so I might even get the Rem back if not it's fine where it is.

I have one child. He can have 'em all when I croak. Made it clear long ago, that the only ones that he really cares about, belonged to my dad and I, so that's settled. I had accumulated quite a pile over the past 60 years since I bought my first one, all the other stuff has slowly been making its way into the hands of others.
Realize the "value" of a dollar has changed, but some of that stuff I paid peanuts for many decades ago, has appreciated quite nicely in the years since. Most of the rifles and handguns I've sold in the past three years, fetched two or three times what I'd paid for them. Even the ones I'd bought new. A few, more than quadrupled.
Still have my first deer rifle, a M94 saddle ring carbine in 32 Special, made in 1924. Paid $40 for it in 1964, have seen several that old and in similar condition, go for $800 or more in the past few years.
But that's one he wants, so it stays. First rifle he carried for deer, when he was 12. Eight years later, finally got around to killing a doe with it, long after he'd killed several with the 8mm Mauser I sportied up for him.

I'm hoping my kids, but who know what their futures hold. I've slowly but surely been trying to sell off a few, but then I end up buying another one that catches my interests. At this point I've made it known to them to keep what they want, offer at a fair price those that they don't want to my friends and sell the rest for the best price possible.

I should've waited until this year to sell a few firearms. Sold two Ruger Minis last year that I'd had for a long time. Wasn't really shooting either one, so sold 'em both. At the prices they're fetching right now, could've easily doubled my money. Oh well, how it goes.

Good question. I guess I should put some more thought to the process. I have my Son and Daughter, two Grandsons and one Granddaughter, and a Son-in-law. I need to figure out how to divvy up the inventory.. Easy way is Son and Daughter split, but who decides who gets what? Daughter has little interest in shooting sports. Grandkids and Son-in-law all shoot and hunt. Maybe draw numbers, number 1 gets first pick, then 2 etc., then back to top. ?? I have no compulsion to list each and every gun and assign to an heir. Plus, written records are often used as evidence.  |

My wife just brought up this question the other day. Told her I planned to give them all to my son’s family. My DIL will get my Glock 42 , the rest aren’t ear marked. If the good Lord grants me at lease 10 more years I will lay them all out on a table and let them choose what they want. Son gets first pick, then oldest grandson, youngest grandson , then Daughter in Law. Doesn’t mean they get to take them home, I will keep a deer / bear rifle, a shotgun, a backyard varmint gun and a CC firearm, which will be ear marked to one or the other when I’m gone.

Seven years ago I drew up my own Will and included a Distribution of Firearms in it. For the most part, I divided my firearms between my two sons. I gave the distribution careful consideration and discussed it with both boys. In addition to the modern firearms, both boy will receive one of my custom flintlock muzzleloaders. I also have custom flintlock muzzleloaders, with accoutrements, for each of my three grandchildren.

Sadly once I’m gone it will end there, my stepson would just sell them off for some tramp, my wife’s grandson is about worthless as boobs on a boar hog , I’m going to shoot them as much as I can before I die then what’s left they can use as tomato stakes for all I care. My reloading equipment will be sold off because nobody would have a clue what it does or how to use it.

Both of my daughters will get a select few. Any future grandchildren (hopefully within the next 3 years) will get the same. I'll sell off the rest along with reloading equipment when I'm old and frail. If I should happen to die an untimely death the balance of them will go into the estate.
