Sorry for your loss..... happy for your gain. It is great to see guns kept in the family and turned into heirlooms.

Hey shooter...sorry about your father-in-law passing. At least you have something he passed a long that you can remember him every time you shoot or clean one of those pieces. Looking forward to pictures.

If you have any stories to go along with the guns, I'd write them down.  That way when you pass them on to your kids, they can share in the memories. 

I intend to do this when my father passes.

Sorry to hear about your loss.  Your father-n-law has great taste, those are some classic firearms that you and your family I'm sure will cherish for generations.

He wasn't a hunter or a shooter. I only knew of the Colt and the Rem. .22 rifle, the others I had no idea. All the guns he had were left to him when his father passed. So I don't have any stories or memories of them. :(

I was cleaning the Win. Model 90 yesterday and it has a pocket on the case with the original cleaning rod that came with the case. 8)  For not being a "gun guy" the guns are in great shape..

You just told a story to be remembered.  Start with how you got the guns, and move on through things like you just said.  You'd be surprised what a generation or two down the line would love to know about things like these.  Worse case is that there is a history of what you did with the gift left to you by your father-in-law.

That Marlin 39A is a sweet one. When my mother's uncle passed, he left behind a lot of guns. Most were $2 swap meet barrel guns, but there were a few sweet ones. I got a Luger that he took off a dead german in Italy. One of my brother has his Marlin 39 and it's become his favorite gun.
