I have two sons who will inherit my firearms. The older one will almost certainly keep the ones he gets. The younger one, possibly not. Hopefully they will be able to "trade" stuff back and forth so that they older boy ends up keeping most of them. I'm not bothered by the the fact that the younger boy probably won't keep them. They just aren't his "thing".
For myself, I'd gladly pay two or three times market value to get any of my dad's or granddad's guns. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to ever happen. I'm thankful to have the smooth-bore black powder rifle my dad scratch built (just for grins) after he retired. I couldn't put a price on that one.
