I am a young 74, still acquiring, among my many regrets are those I sold as a cash strapped student.
You never know. Something like that would be sentimental to me if given by a friend. I have a an ammo box that is sentimental given to me by a friend on a gun forum. I purchased something from him, and he sent it in an ammo box. I don't remember what I purchased, but the box I remember and it's on display in my glass front cabinet.What to do with old antler mounts? I have a few from some of my better hunts, all mule deer except one moose, hanging on my reloading room wall. I doubt anyone will want them when I go.
put a rarely fired used 686 -6 4inch on layaway todayAt one time had a few really nice S&W revolvers Models 2- 36's , 14 , 3- 64's ,67 and couple 686's had to sell them all . Had a GP100 .357 for awhile a nice gun but with arthritis didn't shoot it much , if ever get a chance would like another 686
Smart move. Better I sell off most of my guns now. My kids don't want all my guns. I am saving an adequate variety for them.I have been slowly exchanging firearms for cash. As I get older, I am trying to make it easier for Herself if I pre-decease her.

At least you have someone interested in receiving them. I have no children. The wife’s daughter, no interest. Grandkids being raised the same.Smart move. Better I sell off most of my guns now. My kids don't want all my guns. I am saving an adequate variety for them.
It happens.Less than a week ago, as the OP, I wrote "I am
of that age. And most content."
Now something has caught my eye. Oh, lordee
lord. I shall not succumb, I shall not........
A dealer I know very well called and said he'd make
me a deal. He is ......
Oh shut up! I'm at that age but IIt happens.
I’m 63
Hey Dad…kidding.No reason for it to be just laying around unused.
your Revolver journeys might have be coming to a close but for many of us. It’s just begun, remember your 1st year of collecting?!?!?! I’m loving every minute of it. Model 10’s are my weakness!I feel I've come of that age.
Over months (and months) I've sold off many guns.
Now have but three K-frame and three L-frame S&Ws.
And I appreciate them more than when I had a much larger number.
Two are Combat Masterpieces .38s that have special meaning for me.
I use two Performance Center models regularly for HD and sometimes when I'm out and about.
Of autos, only one which has special meaning for me and is basically retired.
I do enjoy this site as for so many the hunt remains strong for new experiences. But as I said, I'm of that age. And most content.
My 80yo father refers to his as his, “tackle box gun.”My dad will be 90 in June. He just bought a Ruger super Wrangler yesterday!
Over 40...but ill be yer grandkid!At least you have someone interested in receiving them. I have no children. The wife’s daughter, no interest. Grandkids being raised the same.
There are a few young folks who live near us that might have interest.

Keeps ya young!My dad will be 90 in June. He just bought a Ruger super Wrangler yesterday!
Your weakness is your strength !your Revolver journeys might have be coming to a close but for many of us. It’s just begun, remember your 1st year of collecting?!?!?! I’m loving every minute of it. Model 10’s are my weakness!
I’m a failure at thinning the herd as well but I feel if I sell something even with a modicum of limitation, I won’t be able to replace it in the future should I feel the need.I'm a failure at thinning the herd.
But I'm a happy camper!
I hope I have the wisdom and grit to do the same when the time comes.I have been slowly exchanging firearms for cash. As I get older, I am trying to make it easier for Herself if I pre-decease her.
