Being on the flip side of the coin, I'm 38, my Dad is 70. He has some guns, but none that are terribly valuable, his "collection" is very pragmatic, only useful stuff save for one really, that being his remington target master that his Dad gave him. Well I have that rifle already as well as My Dads 1974ish winchester 30-30, the first rifle I ever shot at 5 years old, I still remember that clear as day. So, not much of a collection, as I said, strictly pragmatic, non the less it was Dads. All that being said My Pops asked me a few years back if I'd like any of his guns, of course I said sure but no need to rush. What I DO very much want are his service medals from his time in the war in Vietnam. Best thing is ask the kids, maybe they ho-hum now, but as time inevitably marches on they may grow closer to the idea of have one or two of Dads guns. The rest, are just things, perhaps you could sell them now and enjoy the proceeds with your family in another way.
