"Granddaddy's Gun"....Aaron Lewis
Nice Ditty...some may have common ground with the lyrics, as their own Gun was a hand down from G'Pa....

It's not the mountain ahead that wears you out, it's the grain of sand in yer shoe.

I have granddad's guns, they do not sit on the mantle, most are/were project guns but that just makes them better to me, I have to work to be able to shoot them.

No one to give to,......no one to teach.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

I have two friends here who are post 75 and each have some beautiful custom Kentucky rifles hanging on the wall that are destined to go to their grand kids. Lucky buggers... HaHa
Unfortunately, even though I'm from a large extended family (250+) ..I think I'm the only hunter and no old treasured guns that I know of.

I've got one of Grandads guns and 1 Uncles Gun (His son). All Guns will go to my son and he has been told to never sell, trade or give them away, if he wants more he can buy them. But they are to all be passed down hopefully he does.

Has too much time on their hands
I have no kids; I have given some very nice guns to my nephew and my brother's grandson.
Will be doing that some more in the future.

I was 10 yrs. when my dad passed. I have memories of dad, grandpa and me, out bird hunting on the bush roads north of the Soo. Dad was the only one who took him out in those days. (mid 1960's) Grandpa always said his guns were mine when the time came. He passed a few years later when I was 19. Unfortunately, a couple of my uncles swooped in and grabbed them before I could lay claim? I confronted them, but nothing was ever settled. Several of my cousins have them now I suppose, cuz I sure as hell don't?
That song and video has brought back a lot of memories.
