Great story! Most people don't really know.

And to this

I sometimes wonder if we should write down information and put it with our
firearms for our inheritors to find and read before they take posession of our
treasures
I thought I knew a lot but am still trying to figure out all my Dad's guns and where he got them and what they mean. He had somewhat of a list, but it was typed out and many years old. Then his friend in the hospital brought all of his guns over to my Dad's to store until they got better and could go shooting. They both passed away last year...
So, I have a room full of hundred or so guns and only a few cryptic notes about what was what.

Please make out some detailed notes or lists. It would not take you long but digging through paperwork from the 70's and researching online is still taking me a long long time. And I am only guessing that the.410 was my great grandpa's and maybe one of the old Remington's? Oh boy. My Mom knows absolutely nothing. At least I am getting to know them by taking each group out and trying them and finding ammo. Wish I had more time, but with little kids and my Dad's place hours away, there is not much time.
