Not a CZ Christmas in July, but pretty awesome!!!
« on: August 02, 2012, 09:36:29 AM »
On July 31st I went to buy the cleaning supplies for my futures 97B(because I have to have accessories before I get it, lol) and my dad was like why don't you get the box that includes all pistols, rifles, and shotgun supplies.  I returned by stating that I didn't have any of those(personally own). He said you may need it in the future and its only a few more dollars.  Well low and behold 2 hours later I was called into the living room and there were 3 guns sitting on my couch.
Winchester 12 gauge pump shotgun
Marlin .22 semi auto hunting rifle
Winchester model 94 Lever Action Rifle

These three guns were my grandfathers and due to a brain tumor a few years back he secretly gave them to my father to hold onto until I moved out.  Well with me moving out next week he passed them down to me. Awesome night.

And theres more!!!
in addition he gave me a range bag with 200 rounds of 45acp, countless boxes of different shotgun shells, and a few 30-30win rounds.  Looks like while im waiting to get my graduation gift of the 97B from my fiance, ill be getting ready for hunting season with my very OWN guns.

Just thought I would let you guys know. I was excited  ;D

Now that is awesome!

3 great 'new' guns to enjoy, and great keepsakes besides.

Very cool indeed! Great family story that can now become a tradition as you pass on the legacy to future generations.

Your grandfather really passed down some quality guns!  When my Grandpa passed away, my father got his Winchester 120 shotgun.  When my Dad moved out, my Grandpa gave him his Winchester '94 30-30 carbine.  My first .22 rifle was a bolt action Marlin 25N, and my uncle gave me a Marlin Model 60 autoloader for a bunch of cast bullets I made.

You've got some FINE firearms to get you started!

AWESOME. Great start on a quality collection.
When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

Why use 911 when it's faster to use 1911 or 9mm?
