whats your most sentimental firearm?

[orangeRcode]

I have 2:

Ruger Bearcat my dad bought back in the early 70s and was given to me when he passed a few years ago.

Winchester auto 20 guage from the late 60s my granddad gave to me shortly before he died.

 

[Boehlertaught]

My grandfathers Colt Woodsman.

Now, THAT'S a CLASSIC!!! (PICS, or you're only teasing!)

Ask and you shall receive. I have no clue what is under the electrical tape on the butt stock. I'm thinking it may have a crack. That tape has been on there for the 40 or so years that I've been around that gun.

I have a couple. My grandpa's old pump action 22, and my dad's old 22 bolt action that he used to take out a bird or two when he was a kid. I really need to take them out and shoot them again sometime.

All the guns my dad passed down. The most special is the 300 H&H. He and his dad (Grandfather I never knew) took it to Colorado on an elk hunt before dad went to fight in Korea. They didn't get anything. 50 years later I took it and got the one and only elk I've ever killed.

 

[gearys 5600]

My Grandpas Stevens favorite 22 rifle and my Dads Remington 870 pump.

A Mosin Nagant. My wife and I used it as our wedding signature book. We had paint markers and everyone signed the buttstock. It just fit our whole Camo wedding.

Nice, Dennis! I'm with you ... the tape would stay there forever. You retire it, or still shoot it?

Dennis, is the 1890 chambered in short, long, or long rifle? Although is not technically mine, I have one. My dad's grandfather bought it new and passed it down to his grandson, my Dad. Before he passed away, my dad passed it down to his grandson, my son. Ours is chambered in long, we still shoot it. My son keeps it here at my house. He plans to pass it on to his grandson.
My most sentimental firearm is probably my Springfield model 15. It was my first. My grandfather bought it new for his son who died after being thrown from a horse. My grandpa kept the rifle. When I turned 14 he gave the rifle to me.

 

[Super Dave]

Remington Model 6. My dad gave it to me for Christmas one year, along with a box of ammunition, and a Hoppe's cleaning kit (the finest fragrance know to man). I still have it. I originally gave it to my older son, who preferred an octagon Steven's single shot that we had. His loss! It will be his again, some day. We shot it at H&H, on NW10th, along with his Ruger Standard Model, which is now mine also, and is gun #2 on the tearjerker list.
