Crossed two rifles off my inventory Christmas Day!

Back in 2014 and 2017 I bought the Henry Silver Boys special serial numbered Christmas .22's.

My two girls 33 & 29 have started to settle down enough and my wife and I want to downsize a little so I offered them to the girls.

The oldest jumped all over it, the youngest wasn't so interested until she saw her sister open the box and check hers out, she decided she would take that nice shiny rifle after all!

:)

Glad they can both enjoy them while I'm still alive rather than pluck them out of the safe after I'm gone.

I gave each unlimited access to my stash of .22 I hoarded during the "Great Shortage" the three of us could never shoot it all.
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    just had my son pose this same question to me. he just got married and his new wife got a gun cabinet for christmas for her one rifle. He told me christmas eve if I wanted to get rid of any of my guns he was going to inherit, he now had a place for them........ looks like I may be losing a 30-06 he has claimed and a model 12, 12ga, and for her a nice little double barrell 28 ga and grandpas model 67, 22 figure this will be a good start for them............

    I bought my two grandsons the Henery's Golden Boy 22. It will be soon that they will be old enough to have them.

    What kind of double barrel 28 gauge?
    A 28 always catches my attention!

    You should show the oldest one of your small 9mm handguns she would appreciate that also. :D
