So my grandfather is starting to pass down his gun collection one at a time to myself and the other grandkids. So far I've gotten a Remmington 870 Wingmaster, a S&W Model 52-2 and most recently a S&W K22 Masterpiece.
The 52-2
And the K22
All of these are in MINT condition...not a scratch on any of them. I'm still pretty new to gun collecting and I don't know much about the Smiths. I'm primarily looking to find the date of manufacture and just more info from someone who knows about these.
Should I fire them? Or just do my best to keep them minty fresh? And what's the best way to clean and store the handguns so that I'll be able to pass them down to the next generation?
Thanks!
