I had a shot at owning a S&W 1917 45ACP with no cost! Can you believe this? It was in my hands and I let it get away. Now its gone for good.....SIGH...
One of my biggest regrets

Yup it happens to most of us. At the time I wasn't educated enough, so I didn't know what I was looking at. I didn't know if it was a good bubba job or was it real. I passed to regret it later.

If it's free, it's for me, learned that from the union president at the PD!
One of the greatest laments of life is ... what might have been. You are not alone. We've all been there. Sincerely. bruce.

Not sure I'd use Cabela's as my choice for finding the worth of my firearms, unless you take their prices and divide them by 2 (at least the ones near me).
Now, as to the OP's OP, I think we've all "been there and done that", but it certainly doesn't help when thinking about those that "got away".

Nobody asks? How could you get a free gun?
It belonged to my step dad and after he passed I thought it would go to me due to my being a gun owner and my step brother having a rabid anti-gun wife but he got it anyway. I got the 11 Gage double barrel black powder shotgun with the broken stock. Course she made him sell it not long after

Some things just don't seem to make sense but dollar signs make cents of it all in the long run.

No Cost as in Free ?
Daddy taught me to never look a gift revolver in the barrel...free is easy !

Did you have a long talk with your step brother about "family" belongings staying in the family?

Not me!
I enjoy shooting them, finding them, working on them, etc. My only regret is that I have never had as much money to spend on them as I would like.

How right you are
Family can be pretty terrible when a deceased relatives belongings get dispersed. My very elderly father just amended his will to insure I get all his guns and ammo related items. I was not too worried about my siblings but their wives are an unknown quality.
