My old sears and robuck bolt action 16 ga. Or rather my grandads old 16

Not to question your decision, but can you please discuss why you decided to sell your grand-dad's shotgun (family heirloom)?

I've got my dad's old Nylon-66, and I wouldn't even consider selling it.

I'm interested in the thought process, not questioning your decision.
It's a cool shotgun, btw.

Anxious to see the restoration.

As to the side topic, I've been selling a couple of my Dad's guns that honestly have no sentimental value and he'd much rather have me sell then use the proceeds to fund a gun that I will shoot and enjoy. That said, I will never sell his Dad's browning sweet 16 which I also inherited along with a LC Smith's sxs 12 gauge. I would either use those or I have memories with them so keeping. The ones I'm selling not so much.

Well for one, I didnt like my grandpa Henry. No one liked him. He was mean. My dad didnt like him. If you ever wanted to piss off dad, Call him John Henry.
As a kid when we would visit, I was scared of him. All of the grandkids were scared of John Henry. Now if it had been my grandma Henrys gun, that would be different. She was very sweet and kind to us. And she made awesome scratch biscuits lol.
Second, I have no one to leave it too later and I'm getting rid of some guns.
There was no sentimental value in it for me, I just remember going to their house in Wanette and seeing it always leaning up in the corner next to the front door.
