Default Look what I found!!

So I was helping to clean out my grandpa's house this past week and found a couple guns in his closet, which he let me have...

The first one... a 1962 Winchester 94-30-30 Rifle.



And the nicer one... a 1956 Browning Sweet Sixteen Automatic-5 Shotgun.



I don't know a lot about guns, but I was told by a buddy of mine that the Sweet Sixteen has become a collectors item.

Yeah, I don't think either one were shot much. I looked up a few sites that show those sweet sixteens selling for between $1200-1500. I found the original sales reciept from 1956 and he bought it for $131 :P But its in mint condition and I hate to shoot it since its in such good shape and worth so much.

The rifle on the other hand... It's not mint, but still in good shape. They don't seem to be worth what the shotgun is, so I'm thinking about getting my hunting license and going deer hunting this fall!

Oh trust me, they aren't going anywhere!! I just cleaned and oiled them for the first time in who knows how long yesterday (since they were sitting in his closet all these years).
