So my old man pawned grandpa's old JC Higgins .30-30 lever gun when he was a young man. I've never seen it since this was before I was born. Dad said as a teen, a stupid one at that, he forced a .270 into the chamber and pulled the trigger. It went off but never worked again. Now my father claims he took it too a pawn shop in Asheville and passed it off as functioning. Well all these years later he claims he found it browsing a pawn shop in etowah. Said it had a letter hand carved into the stock that he remembered grandpa putting in there so he knows it was the same one but said he wouldn't pay the $500 asking price to get it back. Now he's not very sentimental and neither am I but we don't have ANY of grandpa's gun collection. The old man pawned it all. Don't want to get into why. So does anyone think it would be worth it? Could the weapon have been repaired? Or has it been getting passed around all these years because it's junk? Also is that price unreasonable? I just don't want to shell out money for something that don't work even if it is Sentimental
