Walt-
As I read your post, multiple memories swept over me... I have several guns in my collection that I purchased from fellas that knew that their time left with us was short and desperately wanted to find a loving home for their 'little sweeties'.... more times than not, as they were sharing the gun's history with me their eyes would fill and the conversation got really tough for both of us.....I am honored to continue to care for their guns until it's my time to let them go...................-Doug
