I have 3 guns that I wouldn't sell because they were my dad's. All others are fair game if I get tired of them.

I have 2 that have some monitary value but like cbumps', 3 of them were given to me by my late father and one was given to me by my mother so they are priceless. The rest of them I wouldn't sell because I just love them and I can't have enough guns.

I have 4 that I will never part ways with. 2 were rifles my grandpa gave me, one was his saddle gun 30-30.. the other was his throw round 22mag. Will never use the 30-30, but I absolutely love the 22mag. 1 gun is my dad's 40yr service award, the other was the first one he ever bought me and said that's "mine". As far as my own, I'm stingy, once I buy something, I tend to hold onto it unless I have 2 just alike and 1 is collecting dust.

I will never sell another gun in my life. I sold one, and have regretted it ever since. The A/C, electricity, phones, TV, all but one vehicle, and most other things would go before I sell another gun.

I have one 12 guage that is a Model 62 Browning Savage that has U.S. Govt. Property stamped in 2 places in the metal. It was a Riot Gun at Levenworth in WWII. Still dove hunt with it and its PRICELESS since it was my Dads. He bought it from an old man when he was a teen. My hunting rifle is a Remington 270 Pump that was my Uncles Dad. He gave it to me 2 years ago. Not sure what its worth either but its priceless as well.

I don't have any. Hunt with a spear here.

I have one that I know nothing about. It was my great grandads I think. Side by Side 16 gauge double hammer/trigger from Germany. I've tried researching it but never come up with anything. Nice engraving on it of ducks, fox, rabbits.

I have one that's worth about $3000, but it was my grandpa's. Rest of mine gave little value. All 400 to 600 range.

I don't intend to sell any of my guns. Just something I like to hold on to. I have one my grandpa gave to me, its a 35 Remington Rifle. I hunted with it a few years to make some kills with it then its been in the safe ever since. No idea what the value is on the market but its priceless to me.

All of my guns are too;s, and look as such. The only wood stock in my safe is on an AK, and that will probably change pretty soon.

My hunting rifle is a Rem 7400 with black syn. stock.

I would never buy a "safe queen" with fine wood and high gloss finish jus so I could never use it for fear of dinging it up.

I see them as the same as the tools in my shop; I clean them when I'm done, and keep them highly functional, but it's kinda hard to keep from getting them dirty and banged around. I don't buy my hand tools with the thought of how much I could sell them for so I don't buy my hunting/protection tools that way.

I have a couple that I might trade for similar guns, and I have some that I would never part with.


The short answer is; no, my guns aren't worth alot. Probably $650 for the most valuable one, and I have more than a few.

Well, I look at it this way. Anything in this world is only really worth what someone is willing to pay for it. So my guns, right now, aren't worth anything because no-one would want to pay what I'd want for any of them.

Guns are about the olny I made a profit on, I'm one of them people that it's worth gold when I bought it but turns to chit in my hands. I too have guns that are priceless to me. At one time I said I'd never sell a gun and that they would be inhretated, but I've given some to my kids early and my brother, sold one in desperate times, and sold some that "I concidered" not for hunting and didn't want to pass on.

Ps My priceless guns are the "pea shooter" the 410 pump that my dad hunted everything with and 22 with the hexgon barrel that my grandfather bought from sears and robuck cat.
