Your dad has some fine talent. Beautiful rifle

If you have any setimental attachment to it, KEEP IT!! I was forced to sell a few guns belonging to my late father due to money problems, pre 1968 mail order military rifles that are worth big bucks today. I can never afford to get them back….

My approach has always been: They don't eat and they require minimal fuss and bother to preserve so you DON"T part with them unless there is no other viable answer or you are tired of them.

Even if you grow tired of them you will still later regret selling them.

 

[Dave Marsh]

Cherish your dads work and shoot it.

 

[Kansas Jake]

Another keep it unless you have no heirs to pass it down to.

Pretty sure it's 50 caliber. One bore smooth, the other rifles

 

[rafterob]

By all means keep it. Shoot it or not depending on your interests. But Keep it.

He did. I watched him inlay the brass. I was very young. He let me cut some of the patchbox and I remember using a sureform on the plank that became the stock. I might have been 6 or 7 at the time.
