No history behind it other than that it belonged to my Grandpa.

You mean some old bitch threw them off the side of a boat and talked incessantly about her childhood lover who drew pornographic pictures of her?

12g shotgun my great grandfather broke the stock by hitting a mule over the head with it. Still has his red neck engineered repair job from the 1930's.

Colt 32 revolver stolen from my gg-grandfather he later recovered in a pawn shop when he was able to take one side of the grip off and show where he had scratched his name.

22lr rifle my grandfather bought new in 1957. He took the rubber buttpad off and put the receipt between it and the wood. I found the receipt when I was refinishing the gun a couple of years ago. It was the first gun that I shot as a kid.

My mother's uncle's old 12g. First shotgun I shot as a kid.

Had some really cool historical pieces

Hitlers PPK
Churchills Mauser
Patrick Henry's flintlock
the pistol used to shoot Billy the Kid

Got rid of them all in a buy back program however.  They gave me a $100 Best Buy Gift card

I got rid of all my icky guns and have bought a slingshot

No guns, just a spear, and rocks.

I made the mistake of buying a canoe at bass pro shop's

I have .41 "Valley Gun" made near New Market Virginia in the mid-1700s and has remained in my family since it was built. In fact a relative (Grandstaff) built it and also made the pacth knife and power measures/possibles bag.

It was converted from flintlock (still have the lock) to percussion in the 1800s and served a ancestor in the local militia till they were re-armed/re-organized (33rd VA Inf.) during the  War of Northern Aggression. The rifle when home then.

It served another ancestor during the war (more as a hunting gun I suspect)  when he was detailed to work a iron smelting furnace close to where he lived.
