A relative has died and left you $10,000 with the provision that it be used only to buy guns and those guns can never be sold but must be passed on to each generation. You must spend the money on something your great-great grandson can appreciate and cherish.
It is worth it to custom order a gun and pay to have it imported. It must of course comply with all Canadian laws.
For example you might choose a couple of custom engraved Colt Single Action Army revolvers or 1911's or buy ten ordinary guns.

What would you buy and why?

Sounds a little unfair to the grandkids who aren't interested in guns but might be interested in something else, like hockey or furthering their education. Its not the legacy I'd be interested in passing down to select grandkids! It makes about as much sense as someone bequesting money on the condition that they never own firearms.
 
I would rather have their beat up old cooey, as it would mean more to me than $10,000. That said I think I would purchase one firearm for myself (Something fine like a kleinguenther or similar that wil be apreciated years later). When the next generation was ready they would recieve the rifle and remaining money to do the same thing. So on and so forth.
 
This relative created nothing but trouble to the grand grand children, we are lucky to own guns this generation, or even next but for sure after another hundred years, no body will allow to own guns.

$10,000 for your dream guns

Ok, the idea of a heirloom handgun seems to be a dead subject.

Let's forget the grandkids.

You have $10,000 to buy your dream guns.

What would you buy?:)
 
i'd say go for the "ordinary" guns- these are TOOLS to be used, not stuck under glass somewhere - if you've ever seen a set of tiffany colts, the first thing that impresses you is the fine craftsmanship and artistry ,but at the end of the day, it's just embellishment- far better to have a blued walker
 
I'd get limited edition, but regular gun.... or you can get regular gun (stainless is the best) and engrave it.

What are you talking about? Grandkids can get nothing and it would be fair. They are getting a gift, like it or not. They can always refuse to accept it. However, the relative has the right to do whatever he wants to do with his money. :pirate:
 
$10,000Cdn. isn't enough for a pair of 19th Century vintage engraved Colt Single Action Army revolvers. There's an 1882 non-factory nickeled and engraved SAA on GunsAmerica. Asking price is $5,550.00US.
Isn't enough for a nice H&H double rifle either.
I'd be buying milsurps in decent condition. That 10 grand investment will go way up.
 
Buy a few cz858 and lots of ammo, even if they don't like guns yet they may need them , if you catch my drift, and they are cool enough for the new generation that like black guns like they see on tv

Sure, you can give all your grandkids nothing and it would be fair, but give most nothing and a few an interest in a $10,000 legacy and that becomes unfair.......just because the others may not be into guns? I can understand if theres a good reason to exclude some grandchildren due to drug or gambling problems, but for no reason other than promoting your love of guns? :confused:

Or, you can remove the "must pass down from generation to generation" restriction and give all the other grandkids and equivalent amount of cash or property or share thereof. You could subject all grandkids to a liquidation restrictions - say 25% at 21yrs, 25% at 25yrs, 25% at 30yrs and the balance at 35yrs or 33% each year at any age if spent on post secondary education or training.
 
Another concern is whether the grandkids or trustee would keep up on the licencing, registration, storage and maintenance of the firearms. If interest is lost, the firearm could be damaged due to rust, lost, stolen, seized or forfeited for whatever reason.

Spend the money on them now so you can watch them enjoy it on what they want to do.

If I had $10,000 to blow on firearms, I'd buy a Swiss Arms Target Special or Remington 700 in 6.8SPC, a NightForce scope, a Benelli M4, a Glock 17 and a MechTech carbine conversion unit for the G17. With any luck, there might be enough left over for ammunition and/or reloading equipment, a good safe, case and range bag, but I think I've gone over budget at retail.
 
As heirlooms -

A couple nice but classic rifles in a common caliber with nice wood and bluing to start..lever or bolt action..maybe even a nice Ruger #1? T

hen maybe a classic single action revolver...Freedom Arms? (not out of the EE though..wow$$;) )

For myself - A second Nighthawk and an ATRS .308.....:)
