For a gun used to hunt groundhogs, and used by your dad as well, it's been remarkably well taken care of by everyone who's come in contact with it.

It's a fantastic family heirloom, and you're extremely fortunate to have it. Congratulations on achieving your goal of obtaining the gun and preserving a great part of your family's heritage. I know your uncle would be pleased.
