I have just inherited a fabulous gun collection from my late brother. They go all the way from the very early 1900's to 2007, handguns, bolt-actions, automatics, hi-powered rifles, shotguns, military rifles, you name it. Three of them are new and one of the handguns still has the price tag on it. I have scopes running out the "ying-yang." There is a ton of ammo to go with them, all except for a 1964 .276 M-type rifle. "Sweetie Pie" and I already had some guns and now we REALLY have some guns. It took him 2 days just to clean the ones I inherited. There are two of them I won't shoot; my great-grandfather's 10-ga. 48" barrel shotgun and the .276 rifle. They need a different style shoulder pad (I won't admit to being a coward). Maybe Sara Palin can offer me some advice. I once saw my daddy shoot the 10-ga. at a buzzard and both did a complete flip in the air. He was shooting straight up and the buzzard fell about 15 feet from him. He got up, brushed the dirt off and looked at his shoulder; I didn't know a bruise could get that big and fill with blood that fast. I haven't yet had them appraised, and have no idea what they are worth, but they are in a secure place behind locks and more locks.Originally Posted by mhall
