What is/are your favorite inherited firearms?

These first two have barrels that may be shot out but all three were my grandfather's. One is marked "Colt .38 D.A." and MAY be a "38 S & W" rather than a 38 Spec. It is about 90 years old and is the gun that he kept under the cash register in his store.
There is also a Colt 32 ACP that is also very inaccurate. Last is a little Colt Jr .25 ACP that WAS NIB (until I got it!). That little sucker with its 1 7/8" barrel can out shoot both of the other pistols!

My dad's model 88 Winchester. And my mom's dad's (my grandpa's) model 70. Both last year unfortunately. I hunted with my dad's rifle last year and this year I'll use my grandpa's. It's like hunting with them one more time. Maybe next year I'll use my rifle, maybe not.

None from my father, all went to my brothers son (pops oldest grandson).
I'm fine with it because I had more 35 years as my dad's hunting pardner, more then anyone else in the family. The means more to me then a couple of guns. Besides that, anytime the family gets together to shoot.........I can blast away all I want to with them!

Great-great grandfather's forged barrel m/l from Ohio
Great grandfather's m/l that he carried "out west" to Colo. and back.(on horseback)
Grandfather's 97 Win and Piper 16ga sxs.
Dad gave me a 4E Ithaca trap gun years ago. (he has the mate to it)( I think he had visions of us both shooting them in competition)

See...it's not entirely my fault that I'm a gun nut, It's a family tradition

I only have 1. My grandfather's Winchester 42. A .410 pump shotgun. Even though it is more worn than any gun I own, it is more valuable monetarily. It will also be in the family forever. I am proud of my family and proud of my grandfather.

I havent inherited any firearms, and it's doubtful I will. But my kids will at least get my Smith and Wesson M13

Poor ol' pititful me. I have yet to be the recipient of any heirlooms. But in case the old man is reading this: "You're the bestest Dad ib the whoooole world! Now about that Ruger Mini 14.."

P08 Luger my father brought back from WWII. All matching numbers + mags and holster.

I have a Commision rifle that I inherited from my father, and he inherited from his.

I was supposed to have received it when I graduated from high school but we had all thought it had been lost in a house fire. After my father passed my brother and grandmother found it in my dad's storage. It was the first rifle I ever fired...but back then the gun was about two feet taller than I was.

2 feet??

I have a mint model 19 that I bought from my Dad many years ago, when he passed away I got it back, I am saving it for my grandson.

I have my grandfathers 1961 vintage winchester model 100 in .308win. I inherited it in 2003 after his passing. I have killed a few Missouri whitetails with it but it is now a safe queen. It means too much to me to possiably damage it.

Thats a tough one, but probably this:



1918 Erfurt Luger, brought back by my granpa.

Well guns around my house[ due to 2 boys] seem to disappear so the ones I like get hidden.Running out of places. Of course, neither son knows anything about how the guns get to their house.
Inherited, I like my Grandads Model 12 Remington.I even have the registration card that came with the rifle when he bought it in 1920.

Inherited?

Never got anything from my father gunwise per-se but my father in law really likes me and has given me a loaded SA 1911 and a SA M1 Garand/mint condition. I love my in laws as much as my own and they reciprocrate more than I deserve.

My Grandfather's Ranger, double barrel shotgun I used as a kid, and thought was a huge baseball bat. Now, having seen it again for the first time since I was 16... It's tiny... My how it has changed!

He bought it from Sears when he was a kid, and handed it down to my uncle, who, being a city dweller, couldn't find a use for it, so, now it is mine. I took it apart, and it still had weeds in it from the last time I carried it when I was 16. Awesome.

My dad's LC Smith double barrel circa 1900-1910. This gun has killed many truckloads of quail. Dad died in 1975, the gun hasn't been fired since.

My grandfather's Remington 512 he bought a few years before WWII. Awesome rifle, and still shoots every weekend, and never gives me a problem.

My Grandpa's Remington 16 guage model 11 shotgun he bought with money from his trapline in 1953.

My Grandfather was a sailing man, he single handedly sailed a 36' Coranado throughout the Bahama's in the late 70's early 80's, this Ithaca went with him. Now it protects me and my family, I cherish it as I cherished him.....

MyTFAL, what is the finish on that one?

Thanks for sharing guys, some nice stories and nice guns.

Ithaca called it satin nickel

90% of my firearms are inherited. I love them all. Remington 700 BDL, Remington 1100, Winchester 1894, W.W. Greener side by side, J.P. Sauer side by side.

Just got these back from and uncle this evening. Father passed away in 2005 and I have been slowly reclaiming his guns. Marlin 980 DL 22 mag, given to me by dad when I was 14.

Savage Fox Model B double barrel .410. Loved that gun.
