[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 2985722, member: 6327"] This is what I want to spare my heirs from! I'm really sorry you are having to deal with this FireFly! At 65 I was hoping to have at least another 10 years of relatively good health, this past spring I kind of got the long face from the Doc, so I may not have as long as I had hoped. I had already started paring down my collection before my health took a turn so I have a good start at least. I have been getting tables at the local gun shows for the last couple of years and selling off the surplus. I am getting down to a manageable level as far as guns go but I have tons of reloading stuff that I need to make some kind of plan for. My idea is to consolidate everything gun wise into one safe and keep the stuff I really use and enjoy. I do have some class 3 stuff that I need to make special arrangements for, it's on a trust but the only trustee is my wife who has no interest whatsoever so I'm going to talk to one of the local class 3 dealers and see if they will take care of things for her. I actually enjoy the gun shows and the wheeling and dealing that goes on, what I have to watch is the temptation to bring home more than I left with. I have a couple of guns that have sentimental value and they will go to family members. The only thing I'm having a hard time deciding on is the .375 H&H in my avatar , I have no logical reason to keep it and it will bring a good price but it was the rifle I took on my bucket list hunt to Tanzania. I have a modest collection of specialty pistols that I'll hang on to 'till the bitter end. I have come to realize that the idea of not selling guns is just selfishness on my part and a headache I can easily spare my family! [/QUOTE]
