1858 Sharps Carbine handed down from my wifes father. Her great great great grandfather carried it from Tennessee to the 2nd Oklahoma Land Run, and used it to settled the section of land that is still in the family.
Definitely my Model 12 Winchester in 16 gauge that my Grandpa bought when he was young. I never got to shoot it with him but I always knew it was in the closet and he had told me one day it would be mine.
Then he got brain cancer when I was 15. When I came to Oklahoma while he was dying of it, for some reason my Grandma let me take it out and shoot birds or whatever. Whenever sitting in the house watching him dwindle away would get to me, I would go out and shoot that gun. Then once he died, my Dad and I split up his guns and that was the one I picked of course.
Theres some good stories here.
