I'll prolly get laughed at, but my single shot .22 from Sears, is just way to much fun to ever think about getting rid of.

Small frame Ruger Bearcat .22 that I bought for $20 in 1974. Still in great condition. Of course my wife pretty well claims it to be hers now. Also my Remington Nylon 66 and a full size Ruger .22 mag revolver that was willed to me when my FIL passed.

I have two revolvers my grandfather had, a S&W K-38 with target grips, trigger, and sights, and a Colt .38 Detective Special. I also have a ~1980 Remington 788 .243 (22" barrel) that was my first gun (after my Benjamin air rifle). Those three will definitely stay in the family as long as I'm alive.

My great uncle, who passed in 92' was real Texas cowboy. He and my aunt never had any children and he favored me late in his life. When I was about 10 he took his old Winchester model 94 30-30 off the wall, loaded it and unloaded it one last time. Then he gave it to me and told me it was mine. I've taken several deer and pigs with it over the years, but not in while. I really need to break it out again soon. It's what he would have wanted.

I just inherited several from my Dad that I will never sell. I have three 30-06's and two of them are same model but I would never sell them, one was my Dad's, one was my Grandfathers and one was my wife's Grandfathers. I have at least 10 .22 l.r's and several shotguns, misc. rifles, would lose my house before I sold any of them.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Dads Benjamin Silver Streak that he grew up hunting with. Also have a High Standard HD M103 (IIRC) with US Military Stamps and grips that my Dad inherited from his father and passed on to me. Crazy accurate with an incredible trigger. I also inherited a very interesting pistol from my late grandfather who emigrated from Germany. It is a JP Sauer and Sohn 38H pistol with the original Officer's holster and two magazines. Made from 1938-41 by the company that eventually split up to form Sig Sauer. Going off of memory here, I think it is the first pistol that they made that featured a de-cocking lever so that is kind of cool. It also has Ivory grips and is in great condition. I had it checked out by a trusted gun shop and the older guys in there were drooling over it, but it will never be for sale. I've shot it a handful of times and it is a very cool piece of history.

My dads A5 from about 1969. 26" improved cylinder with VR. Many, many quail and dove have been taken with it. Some how we lost the 30" full choke barrel. Many waterfowl taken with that combination. I still shoot it on occasion. Lot's of confidence when shooting it.

As anyone that follows my posts knows, I sell a lot of what I acquire to fund other purchases. The exception are those that I inherit or are gifted to me such as my father's pre-Garcia Sako Finnbear .270 that took every deer he ever killed. Or his Savage 3D single shot .22 that was his first rifle at 13, then my first at 13, and my oldest son's first at 13. Three generations learned to shoot with that rifle. Like the OP I have a Winchester 190 .22 semi (though mine is not the deluxe model but the plain hardwood version), that was my grandfather's. Those stay and are passed on to my sons. I will also not sell the 1960's Remington 700 BDL .270 that is my hunting rifle. That too will be passed on to one of my boys. I also maintain a black rifle collection the likes of which could outfit a rifle Platoon. I truly believe that bad times are coming one day. If not in my time, they will be preserved and passed on to the boys to ensure they have what they need to defend their families no matter what happens.

Inherited Stevens Model 14 Single-shot .22 - Great grandfather used it with rat shot to move cattle. Barrel is kind of blown out, but I am the 4th generation owner and my son will be #5. Not worth much, and I haven't fired it in more that 25 years, but it stays.

I've got one in mind I'm hoping my dad hands down to me. My brother is trying to claim it but we will see.

Harrington and Richardson Topper Model 12ga shotgun. My first gun given to me by my parents for Christmas. Same here! First gun I ever owned and was a Christmas present. Unfortunately, my youth overcame my intelligence and I sold it to fund another purchase.

I have a Sears and Roebuck 30-06. This gun was given to my dad, by his dad when he was 16 and my dad gave it to me when I was 16, and I plan on passing it on to my son. It's a shooting machine and has killed enough deer to load your local walmart from floor to roof!!! Got a old 22 that my great grand dad gave me when I was 6. I forget the brand off top, but it's one that will never leave my hands either.
