No kidding, guns with history are some of the most interesting.
Here’s a good one.

That’s a fun story. I use my grandfather’s Model 31 Remington Pump down at the trap range - I do pretty good with it. People always have to come look at the old thing when I’m done. Probably not much of a story to it though. He bought it used just before the war. It sure is smooth.
My brother has his old side-by-side Damascus barrel with the exposed hammers. Some English name on it. I’ve always wondered about that one. It hasn’t been shot ever since I’ve been around. IIRC my dad had some old paper shotgun shells for it around the house when I was a kid.
Wow. Dirtfarmer done good. How did that turn out?
We had this guy at work that inherited a rifle from his grandpa. He told my buddy about it, old ‘06. He needed some money so he sold it to a gun store for some grocery money. My buddy asked him what kind of rifle it was. He said he wasn’t sure, some company called “P O Ackley”. Not very popular...
Damn, missed it by that much ><
I just spent an hour and half on your link about the ‘32 Askins Super. Epic thread. Thanks.
