If I had to sell off everything, the very last to go would be my Colt Combat Commander .45.
The one gun I would never, ever sell would be my grandfathers .22 rifle. It's a single shot Springfield Jr. Model 50. This model was originally made by Page-Lewis starting in 1928 and when Page-Lewis was bought out by Savage, they continued making them under the name Springfield Arms until 1932. It was the first rifle I ever shot around age 6 and it will go to my oldest grandson.

Op said "would", not "will".
I would never sell any, but I cannot say if I will....er, won't...

I'm very surprised
I'm very surprised just how much things do change. Things I thought I would be doing I'm not and other things take their place.
That said, my 686 would be the last to go.

A lot of great stories here. Any object can acquire so much sentimental value that the intrinsic value is less than the sentimental value. Especially if you got a gun from your father or grandfather and you are aware your son or daughter wants it. I have some antiques passed down to me i hope to stay in the family after I die. My one gun i would not part with is a chrome plated Woodsman, my first gun I bought 48 years ago. It has been passed on to my son along with a Model 1906 Winchester pump. I would say he would have oy be awful hard up to sell either of those. His daughter wants to be a Marine and she is in ROTC. He won't let her practice drill with the '06 winchester.
Of the guns I have in my possession the ones I would be most reluctant to sell are a Belgium 12 gauge damascus shotgun that is a wall hanger. It was given to me by a friend and coworker. I have a Model 27-2 8 3/8 that I bought new that is not for sale and I would be reluctant to sell my AR unless there was another on the horizon.

I have a few, but the one that comes to mind this morning would be the Model 70 .30-06 that my dad gave to my mom when they were married in the early 50's. The floor plate has her initials engraved on it. It's been around the world a few times, killed every North American big game animal except the polar bear and desert big horn, provided moose, caribou and bear meat for the village they taught at in the bush before I was born, tagged along on a few African Safari's during dads later years where it garnered the nickname "Old Suddenly" and it was the rifle I killed my first caribou and moose with as well. It's not going anywhere. Here's a sampling~

Ill never sell or trade any of mine. If I dont wind up having any children? then the collection will go to my three nephews and currently two Great nephews

My most cherished is a prototype Mauser Sniper rifle made in 1935--and with what im told only 5 or so were made--these are either a part of the A-98 or M-98 series.

The guns I got from my Dad have already been passed to my son and grand son.
The last to go for me will be my duty Model 58. We saw the elephant a couple of times and got home. It too will go to my son when I'm done using it.

You've got it. One can easily say what one would do, but one can never know what one will.
I'd hate to sell my Sweet Sixteen....absolutely hate it.
