Thought I’d snap a few pics while I’m at it.

Bert, I think you have some of these for the survey, but maybe not all…..

George,

Very nice gathering! Now’s a great time to inventory as you’re rearranging, as you’re doing! Smile

Thanks for sharing! Smile

Thanks Mike!  I know that I sure enjoy looking at other people’s stuffLaugh

I just have to figure out what my wife should do with all of these things when something happens to me………I bet many on this forum struggle with that dilemma.

George,

I know for a fact that many do!

I refuse to join that category so I’ve been organizing and cataloging, and condensing down, for awhile now. Not saying that I haven’t added any, as I have, but getting a plan together is paramount for families. IMO! Smile

George, I have an 1894 with s/n 3543. I guess that makes our Winchester’s sort of cousins.

Nice rifles of course and I enjoyed seeing them.  I also enjoyed the close-up photos of the serial number stampings.  Examples like yours help us figure out what may have been done (e.g. refinishing) to other rifles we see.

This is something I’ve mulled over for years.  It would be nice if the answer was, “she will just enjoy them all as much as I did.”  Sadly, for most of us, that’s not in the cards.

You can give them to me.  I’ll appreciate them and so will my boys. Cool

Literally reading a book right now called “Who gets your stuff when you die?” by a local estate attorney here in North Texas – You might construe it’s about estate planning and trusts vs. wills and the pros/cons of each. If you have the time and means, I highly recommend you set it all up now…at the very least leave instructions as to how to handle your assets, both physical (guns) and financial.
