 My grandpa has a 30-30 lever action that's almost 120 years old. I'd rather have that than a sword. I kick myself for having given another family member. I had inherited my granddad's black powder double barrel 10-gauge shotgun when I was a young man going in the military. And since I was leaving town and couldn't take it with me, I gave it away to another family member. I wish I had that 10-gauge with me.
