    I have an old Mississippi Valley Arms 16 gauge shotgun my dad took off a drunk in 1958. It rarely see daylight. The stock is cracked and it pinches the crap out of you if you shoot it. But it "will" shoot, but it won't be me. Again.

    Probably have to be my Belgium made Browning A5 Light 12. My dad bought it new in the mid '50s for like $130. I dove hunted with it for years after he handed it over and it never failed. Bought a Browning O/U in the late '90s that I've used since and the A5 hasn't seen much action. Definitely the most prized gun I own.

    Mine’s a 1898 SAA Colt .41 that was carried by my great great uncle and passed down to me. It sat inoperable for probably 60 years until just recently when I had it worked on. Ordered some black powder cartridges and will be “reviving” it soon.

    Now, THAT, is something of which to be proud!

    I am glad to hear you will be putting it to use again.

    It's an FN-FAL built on a Coonan receiver by machinist friend of mine. It has a Steyr barrel and he completely dis-assembled it and Cera-Koated every single piece of the rifle down to the little parts...... It's a beauty.
