I've got 15000 plus rounds through my Glock 19 so far and it has required only 3 recoil spring replacements, and the feed lips on the original two mags are pretty beat up now. Oh yeah; the Trijicons died once but the factory replaced them gratis. I have willed it to my Goddaughter.

Got several milsurp rifles, The oldest of which is a Lowe-Berlin Mauser, 1895.
I'm sure it'll be here long after I'm gone.

I have a 22 rifle that my grandfather found in the woods, cleaned up and gave to my dad. It will be mine next. Who knows after that. I have no family to leave anything to. That and a few knives that will last forever. Some coins.

Some day, maybe 25-30 years from now, I’ll pick out someone and give them all my guns and stuff. Congrats son/hon, you have found favor in my eyes.

Something I have to decide on too. Whoever gets my arsenal, will appreciate, cherish and use what they've been handed. Lot of history in some of the pieces that I have.

Watch it.....the OP's string looks wound a little too tight.

I have a rifle that's 115+ years old and it can take out an elk or moose from 10,000 yards probably.

My sister is age 87 and has been downsizing a LOT recently....giving stuff to grandkids, etc......MY problem is me being in Florida, my son in Ca. and my daughter in Bawltimore.....there is a shipping issue....

no kids here, and sisters are not into guns in the same way I am. they too have no kids, so i'm the end of the line.

met a young man a few months ago at the range, during a pistol match, he'll turn 30 this year, and i give him grief (so far) that me, at 54, can out shoot him. he's getting better though. someone like him would be ideal.

"hey kid, come over next week i have something for you"

(opens vault, "it's all yours except that one, that i'm keeping for now.").

I love the grounds there!
That was my first one with this car a few years ago.
I came in 2nd place in the top class twice in 2 tears.
Not bad for a repainted, (in the 80's) but not restored car going against full resto's.

As others have said, a firearm and overall collection of military memorabilia with many items well over a century old already.

A fairly sizable tool collection, some of which was my grandfather's, some was/is my father's, and all of which will eventually be my son's. People ask why I buy Snap-On, MAC, etc instead of the other stuff, I will refer to the 3 generation old tools that I still use on a regular basis.
