Browning Sweet 16 from 1946, and a Remington 1100 light 20 from 1968.Both from local paper classifieds.I labored about shooting them for the first time, thinking as they got older they would be worth more. The idea of being "worth more" is subjective in my case as I buy guns, but never sell guns. I was thinking of them being passed down to my sons, and they can do what they want.The more I thought of the dilema, the more I realized I was pissing in the wind. Those guns are pretty popular, and the fact they are fired or unfired didn't make squat. Guns are made to be shot, so shoot them I did. I have fallen in love with the Sweet 16 Browning. When I shoulder that gun, something falls from the sky. I have some guns that are WAY more expensive, and do shoot them too, but if somebody says "lets go hunting and there isn't many birds, so every shot will count", the sweet 16 comes out of the safe.</blockquote>
