Wow, not many "heirloom" 4th generation .308 rifles, since that caliber wasn't introduced until 1954. What was the timeline? Your father doesn't appear to be a young'un, so his grandfather must have been up in years when he made the initial gift.drw wrote:Despite his love of guns in the past, the only firearm he has today is a beautiful heirloom .308 rifle that his grandfather gave his father, who in turn gave to him. I understand that he has decided to pass it on to me when the time comes, and I'm looking forward to being the 4th generation to own and shoot deer with that rifle.
As sad as it is, at least he knows and has made peace with his place in that relationship.Anyway, on a recent visit I introduced him to the AK47 and he fell in love. I offered to sell it to him for what I paid for it, and he glanced at his wife, sighed, then turned down my offer.
