My dad passed away in 1991. He taught me to hunt and fish. Still have every gun he owned. Still have the single shot 22 he taught me how to shoot on. Don’t shoot many of his guns but keep them for sentimental sake. Take them out and clean and oil about once a year, easy time to remember our hunting trips. Still remember my first deer at 16 years old, him handing me a knife and teaching me how to clean and skin a deer. Cherish every minute you have :thumbs:

The fact that it was your father's makes it even more beautiful
yes and no, closed, opened, not really the same IMHO, but what stays the same in the context of decades

Love this shottie. I picked up a beater that I use for turkey hunting, from the original run in 1937, long before they called them 'Featherlight'...not sure what year they started that marketing project. Beautiful shotgun, bottom ejection, signature engraving on the receiver, def classic.

Heirloom...doesn't get any better.

You are one lucky piney

The new new version of Ithaca has a nice little 28 gauge trap gun that you might like. Your a clay guy.

I bought a M37, 12ga, 26" imp cyl with a vented rib, in 1972 from a Pawn Shop for the handsome sum of $125.00 which, if I'm not bad wrong, was about a week's pay. It's been a great Dove & Quail gun although it's not been out on a hunt in more than 20 years, heck it's probably been closer to 30 since it's gone hunting. Over the years several people have tried buying it from me but I'm thinking that my first born Grandson should wind up with it.
