Most Prized Possession!!!

[careybirdwell]

Yesterday I spent a little time with my dad. Before I left, he walks out of the room and hands me my grandfathers shotgun and says it yours now. Don't get me wrong, I always knew I would get it because it had been promised to me. My other brothers got other stuff, but this is what I really wanted. I can still see my grandfather slinging it to his shoulder taking down a squirrel or duck. He was a mountain of a man to me, and passed away many years ago (1977). But my memories are still as vivid to me as they were when I was a kid.

It is nothing fancy, just a Winchester model 12 20 gauge, but it is priceless to me. It is Granddaddy's gun!!!

Very cool and it's a slick shotgun. The Model 12 in .20 is hard to beat.

very nice. don't just let it sit in the safe and be a talking piece take it to the woods and let her bark. my grandfather passed last year and I got his pre 64 model 70, I am taking it to Africa this year.

Awesome. My in laws surprised me with one of my Grandpa's old Belgian made Brownings for Christmas year before last. I felt the same way. Matter of fact they almost got my eyes to leak a little.

It is going to be my go to shotgun for this dove season coming up. I can't wait. My grandfather never hunted dove that I know of. Not to many in the bottoms & creeks of Louisiana. So I might have to take it squirrel hunting this year.

That is a beautiful thing.

I have the very same gun in 12 gauge that was my grandfather's favorite gun. I bought a 16 gauge and 20 gauge to have a nice set to pass on some day. You have a good looking and special gun. Congrats sir.

That is GREAT!

I'm and old guy so vintage blued steel and walnut firearms are my first and nearly only choice. You youngsters can have all the plastic and tacti-cool stuff.

We can't begin to know the memories that holds for you, but I understand how you feel.
