Paul, my dad died 2 years ago and left me a few hand guns and a beautiful No. 5 Mark 1 Jungle Carbine that he bought when I was a little kid at a hardware store. I still have his receipt where he paid $17.50 for the carbine, a military case, two magazines, a bayonet and some .303 military ammo. Quite a haul for $17.50!

The rifle is in great condition and shoots wonderfully. Kicks like a bear with that hard rubber butt pad but I put a recoil reducing pad on for my shoulder.

Having that rifle of his is indeed priceless. Ones I buy are nice but his is special and I'm glad to have it.

So, I'm sure you'll treasure your dad's rifles when they eventually come your way.

My kids aren't into mil surp firearm collecting at this time but they will all get some of my collection. That includes my daughter.
