A few years ago my hunting and shooting buddy passed away. He was my wife's brother-in-law. We'd been friends for decades.
A few weeks ago my niece asked us over to distribute some of his gun stuff. I brought 3 home for me and 1 for my youngest.
Single action 45 LC. This is a replica with color case hardened frame. The main spring was broken, and now replaced. I think it's functional, but I haven't tried it yet.
FN Hi-Power 40S&W. It has that weird SFS (?) system where pushing the hammer toward the slide activates the safety. For some reason the rear sight is way off to the right side. I suspect it has to do with damage to his hand. I don't have anything chambered in 40 so I installed a 9mm barrel and weaker recoil spring. Fired 2 9mm into the ground in the back yard and it seems to be fine. I'll take it with me next time to the range. Will be checking function with 9mm and 40, as well as the sights.
AR15. He bought components and built it himself many years ago. I was with him the first time it was fired, and it went full auto. I checked the trigger and it was never fixed. I'll fix the trigger, then decide what to do with it. I'll either modify it to my liking (maybe 6.5 Grendel) or let it go to a friend.
S&W 38 target revolver. It's an older revolver that appears to be in excellent condition. I think my youngest will like it.
