/k/, my grandfather recently died and my grandmother wants to

I have a boner for Stevens guns since that was my first rifle too, so I'd nab that J Stevens .22.
That extremely heavy and large .22 rifle could be a Mossberg 44 trainer, or a Stevens training rifle, if the Stevens training rifle I would nab that as well.
Pending what the two shotguns are, Winchester 1897, Remington Model 12 or an Ithaca M37, I'd get one of those, otherwise I'd take that Colt .32 revolver.

Ultimately it comes down to what you think you would enjoy more or what gun really makes you think about your grandpa if you were really close.

I've lost both of my grandfathers and would have loved to have gotten something from them that was firearm related as it's a hobby that I really love.

Colt revolver.

Wait and see what large caliber rifles and shotguns there are.

Look them up on your phone if you have no other option and have to choose right there.

A few more comments/questions from me (the OP)

>.458 Winchester Magnum ammo is really expensive. (I think $3+ per cartridge). I've never shot a gun this big before, and it might not be that much fun. Still, something appeals to me about having the rifle my grandfather shot big African game with.

>None of the guns have been shot in 15+ years. Should I have a gunsmith look them over before I shoot them?

We were close, but never went shooting or hunting together. His eyesight was bad enough by the time I was old enough to go shooting with him that he wasn't comfortable doing so.

I was underage banned when both of mine died, didn't get to hear any stories about their enlistment, both WWII Vets, or get gud on any of their wills for the guns they had.

My grandfather spent 3 years on an island in the South Pacific from age 19-22. He never saw combat and his job was sending messages about what times planes took off and landed.

It sounded like a fun time.

>That time during training he went to a wedding for some guy who just met a girl the prior weekend
>The draftees who showed up with bad teeth and got a bunch of them pulled
>Sleeping in a tent on the island for three years
>Getting to take out a boat and go fishing on weekends on the island

Bump

Sorry to be that guy who bumps threads, I pick out guns tomorrow morning and am curious if anyone has any insight. I'll post pictures later tomorrow night.

In terms of value, the muzzle loaders could be worth a lot if they're originals and not repros.

>Colt .32 revolver.
>Winchester .458 magnum
>Two shotguns
>A couple other large caliber hunting rifles.

I would get them in this order. Be sure to get the shotguns if they are made by a credible company like Ithaca, Winchester, Remington etc. Same applies to the hunting rifles.

That would be advisable.
