Faggot destroys shotgun that's been in his family for over 100 years to make a hunting knife. What possesses these people to do things like this?

>>64028628 (OP)
Thats a $50 gun at best. That knife is definitely worth a lot more than $50.

T. Just bought another single shot 12ga stevens for $50. The 20ga is probably worth less

>>64028628 (OP)
All a hundred year old shotgun is good for is a wall hanger or it probably takes your face off with modern ammo.

>>64028780
It could have some real sentimental value if it was like, hand carved bits by your great grandfather and then down the line, had been used in some sort of significant event or whatever. Doesn't mean it'd be worth a lot (anything) on the market of course but still could be an heirloom, I've got an old gun like that I love. But if it's just some rando mass produced rifle great grandpappy bought cheap, shot a few times and then left in a box in the attic and nobody gave a shit about then yeah, whatever. People WAY over estimate antique values.

>>64028780
That depends on the gun. This piece of shit? Yeah. But there are guns from the 1800's which have stood proof for modern nitro shells, just because it's old doesn't mean it's shit. The model and who made it matters, not the age.

>>64028803
These are from the 1920s/1930s. They will hold up just fine to modern rounds because they were using smokeless 12ga at the time.

I shot a few three inches out of my $50 one even though its only a 2 3/4. She ran fine, blew the handguard apart but thats about it.

>>64028803
>The model and who made it matters, not the age.
Well, maintenance/storage conditions matter a lot too. If a gun had been sitting around for fucking ages particularly if it dates to an era of general use of corrosive ammo I'd definitely be checking it for honeycombing etc before any serious usage, and really I doubt I'd shoot it much at all mostly just for the enjoyment and show once in a long while. For that I could handload cat farts that reliably will exit the barrel but are mild vs full power modern.

Get a grip. what the fuck's wrong with you?

>>64028984
People who say shit like this almost never actually own and shoot guns. Guns are fundamentally tools, and have been primarily cheap mass production items for a long time, same as cars or whatever else. Sure, there are absolutely very nice ones out there, or ones that through chance or effort have become unique and interesting. But the vast majority are of no importance, they served some task and then that was that. Getting sentimental about every piece of cheapshit mass consumer tooling is fucking stupid.

This is also an example of stated preferences vs revealed preferences. It's easy to write shit like that out when you've got zero skin in the game and don't intend to either, but looking at the actual market nobody cares enough to put money down.

>>64028794
>>64028803
In cases like this, they just didn't feel that sentiment I guess. I've got a few guns like that which are just part of my childhood and my father owned them which aren't worth anything in terms of monetary value or have any remarkable history to them. If it came down to selling one to feed my family or picking one up to go shoot something to eat, then yeah their intrinsic value would go up but otherwise they're just elements of history.
I don't think I'd make a knife out of them though, much easier to just buy some bar stock or one of my flogged out files and make something out of that unless one of them was just unsafe to use. I'm pretty wary of old guns with a sketchy history for that reason that mechanical accidents are pretty wicked things with firearms you don't want none of. Even a sloppy safety or super fine barrel fracture can creep up and get you.

Otherwise, its his shit, he can do what he wants with it. Obviously felt it was worth the effort and none of my business!

I don't give a shit what my kids and grandkids end up doing with my guns. they're toys that I bought with money I made sitting at a desk. who gives a fuck?

>>64028899
Interesting post, fellow Amerikanski.

>>64028832
i'm pretty sure things like this are false flag trolling.

anyways i'm on team "who fucking cares", if he did it to something actually rare or if the gun had particular collectors value sure but as far as I can tell this is just a generic 20th century garbage rod. I don't believe that anything produced after the 19th century has value based solely on its age. not every gun has sentimental value either. I sold off my grandpa's collection of weird Mausers, most of which had near 0 collectors value due to being rechambered or modified for hunting. I kept his 1911 and enfield.

>the seetheposts got mass IP baleeted
Heh. That confirms that.

Shut the fuck up, shill.

>>64028746
I didn't watch the video, so I don't know if what the op is saying is true, but what's with the kike attitude? If something's been in your family for a hundred years, particularly something like a gun, then it's not about the monetary value, or even the historical value (though that does count), but the personal value, sentimental value and heritage. Unless you're a soulless piece of shit, heirlooms should be important to you.

>>64028628 (OP)
What compel other faggots to give a fuck what a private citizen does with his property?

>>64029168
So you're from a country where people don't give a shit about family, history or heirlooms. What an absolute hellhole that must be.

>>64029188
Something being owned by grandpappy doesn't immediately make it into an priceless family heirloom, especially with how large some boomer's gun collections are.

>>64029200
Yeah, it does. It's something concrete your ancestors owned and used that connects you to them and that you can hold in your hands. Even if it's a worthless piece of junk in terms of quality and monetary value, it should be worth something to you, unless your ancestors were all drunken, worthless rapists you want to distance yourself from.

>>64029188
>>64029209
This sounds like pure, theorycraft larp from someone who has never actually had to go through a house full of 50 years worth of accumulated shit, a bunch of which is moldy. Almost everyone will have at least 1% of their stuff that is a worthy momento with memories connected to it, but most of us have huge amounts of consumer crap that we didn't value much (or at all) in life and has even less value in death. People in the modern past weren't particularly different. If you actually get back into the 1800s then sure, odds go up that anything surviving is more interesting and was saved for some specific reason, plus may have been hand made or whatever.

But your pack rat mentality is, I was gonna say "dumb" but being less 4chan I'll say "young". When you get into your 30s/40s and actually have go through your packrat grandfather's old house and deal with the sheer enormity of processing an entire life's worth of rando stuff you will find yourself forced by necessity to sharpen your standards.

>>64029182
Nah I just value people more than random shit they collect, there's nothing in my house if it caught fire that I'd pick up before my kids

>>64029177
The gun wasnt anything family related. You know anyone can say anything right? He probably picked it up for $50 and added the story about his family heirloom. It looks like a pile of shit, never upkept. If was a family heirloom it would have been taken out and used and otherwise stored in a family safe. Guns dont look like that after being stored for many years. Like you said anyone with a brain would NEVER destroy a family artifact. So its apparent that this one isnt.

I know you must be a summerfag, but not everything you see/read on the internet is true.

>>64029233
I'm in the process of doing that, you fuck, and there's so much stuff others want to throw away that I have to rip out of their hands to save. Granted, it's not moldy, considering my family isn't a bunch of trashy horders.
I noticed the same thing when I bought the house I currently live in. The owner of the house was a grandmother who was going senile, so the house was sold by her son and daughter. I'm actually astonished by the things they left behind, and I kept some of it (mostly old painting, some art nouveau furniture, and various local curiosities, like a 19th century kerosene lamp that was used by the national railroad company) and sold the rest, so it wouldn't get thrown away. I even found some old medals in an old drawer, that I couldn't fathom that they left here. I looked up the previous owner of this house, and managed to find some extended family living in another part of the country through a business they owned, and sent them a mail about the medals. They wrote me a long reply, telling me about their family history and how the mail I sent them had made them reconnect with the people who used to live in my house. I sent them the medals for Christmas, and they were extremely appreciative.

>>64029239
>Nah I just value people more than random shit they collect, there's nothing in my house if it caught fire that I'd pick up before my kids
What does that have to do with anything? I didn't say you have to value things over people, especially in an emergency, but the world isn't binary, you autistic, soulless fuck. You can value heirlooms and your ancestors, without letting your kids burn to death.

>>64029177
If my ancestors were poor and retarded enough to consider a cheap piece of shit an heirloom, it's not worth preserving and their history isn't worth being sentimental about.

You're all sick people.
I hope you all get cancer. Fuck youse all.
I put a curse upon you all.

>>64029261
>I know you must be a summerfag, but not everything you see/read on the internet is true.
I specifically pointed out that I didn't watch the video, or that if anything in it was true. In other words, if you weren't a retard, you'd know I was talking about the principles of the argument that was presented to me, and what most people have been replying to.
>Like you said anyone with a brain would NEVER destroy a family artifact.
That would imply most people on /k/ don't have a brain. I think it's more about not having a soul. Fucking consumer whores, who only value things in terms of monetary value.

>>64029324
Poverty wasn't necessarily a choice a few generations ago, like it is today. None of my ancestors were poor, at least as far as I've been able to look back, but if they were, I'd still treasure whatever they left behind.
The oldest heirloom I own is from the 1780s, and it has a note in it with its history and the names of who previously owned it. Apparently, it was a wedding gift.

>>64029369
I know that, you have to be both poor and retarded to consider trash an heirloom. Plenty of poor families managed to acquire and maintain one or two prize possessions that were the pride of the family. That's different. That usually involved a lot of hard work, careful management of money, and required being genuinely invested in keeping something of value safe and in good condition.

Great granddad impulse buying a $19 shotgun from a Sears catalog doesn't count.

In the 1780s, my family possessed an estate and land holdings in North Germany and they squandered it by being moronic degenerates. I'm the reset button on my ancestral history and I won't preserve anything of their failures but the knowledge.

>>64029540
>Great granddad impulse buying a $19 shotgun from a Sears catalog doesn't count.
They had Sears catalogs before the 1920s, which was the original scenario presented by the OP? Even if it was a piece of shit, it's still something the guy's grandfather wanted and used. Hell, I like owning practical things that my ancestors might not have considered interesting, especially if they're tools that were used for everyday stuff. Maybe they didn't see any value in it, but I like being able to use the same everyday tools that they might have used.
>In the 1780s, my family possessed an estate and land holdings in North Germany and they squandered it by being moronic degenerates.
Really? Even if one generation was degenerate and lost the estate, their parents or grandparents might have been good people, and you shouldn't reject your entire lineage because of what one generation did. But I guess you really did inherit their mentality, whether you wanted it or not, including their degenerate nature and their lack of respect for their history and their ancestors.

>>64029305
>trashy horders
My grandfather wasn't a trashy horder, but he didn't come from money either though he ended up doing well. Like a lot of people from that era he tried to live very frugally, he was in a moist state, and he designed and mostly built his own house to save money and he was not an architect, engineer or anything of that nature, and worked with cheap materials of the time. He was a good man and my grandmother was great too but the place was a sponge all year round and stayed decent by virtue of constant effort. By the time they passed it had been let go not by laziness but sheer age, they were in their 90s. I wasn't making a judgement, this is just how it often is.

And yeah he had some treasures for sure (even if worth nothing on the market), paintings, an old chest that he'd traveled around the world with during and after the wars and painted each port name, a gun passed from his father we'd gone shooting together with when I was a kid (I did rescue and restore that). But he had tons of stuff that was just... normal. He had knickknacks from early age of plastics and so on when it was radical and cool for somebody to have some bakelite item but it was still junk and junk in poor condition at that. He had some cool books, but also piles of old moldy magazines. Like, if I look around my own house right now, I can see some nice stuff I've gotten I think would still be appreciated, but also plenty of purely practical things. Basic lighting or whatever, cheap rugs to protect the floor. Or in guns, I've got some nice ones but also cheapshit range toys. I wouldn't be insulted if my kids threw half of it away. Space isn't free and they have their own lives and tastes.

>>64029614
You go ahead and preserve your mothers stained Tupperware for your children.

I'm going to focus on equipping mine with a mote functional and less materialistic and regressive worldview that won't be shackled by mindless tradition.

>>64029614
Nah you're the degenerate if you put the past on a pedestal and think cheap slop is inherently good just because it's old. They were people the same as us. It's fine to decide you personally find enough value in some given thing to want to spend your own money/space/time to preserve it, but it's retarded to claim somebody else not seeing value in something that nobody sees value in is somehow wrong.

it's a single shot shotgun coated in rust, this hardly compares to shit like that LA artist who melted down WW2 heirloom 1911s to 'make a statement' about gun violence

>>64029631
>You go ahead and preserve your mothers stained Tupperware for your children.
So that's the first thing that springs to mind when you think about your family, you absolute fucking loser? What, is your entire family obese too?

>>64029677
nta but you're the fag who claimed not even a single thing in an entire house of stuff should be tossed because it was all 'valued by grandpa' or some shit lol

>>64029633
I think that maybe you faggots just come from a disgusting culture, considering you keep bringing up the worst kinds of plastic consumer shit. I guess you really don't have anything worth preserving, because neither your ancestors nor their possessions are worth anything. That's incredibly depressing.

>>64029305

>You are in the process of becoming a trashy hoarder yourself you goof.
No, I'm not. Most of the faggots I'm talking to are ones who are willing to destroy or sell every little thing their ancestors owned if it doesn't have monetary value.
And again, I seem to be talking to people who grew up in an extremely consumerist culture where everything was made from plastic, and where everything was bought from some corporate chain.

I think that maybe you are completely unable to understand the difference between something of value and something that's just old because you've maybe never been in possession of something which has true value in your life.

There has been cheap consumer slop not worth preserving in every era of humanity going all the way back to the shittiest hand ace made by the village retard.

>>64029746
yeah thats just it, i have a bunch of junk and a bunch of expensive things. when my kids get old enough ill tell them which is which and why. i think anyone really getting mad over a tube from a mail order catalogue is kind of cringe.
had he done this to say grandpappy's mint service rifle it'd be a different story

>>64029766
i mean i own some dumb shit that means a LOT to me, despite having dubious or even low/no monetary value. I can't just co-sign the notion that old things are valuable in and of the fact that it's old.

>>64029755
I think you just grew up in a horrible family and a horrible culture, where nothing is apparently worth preserving. My most treasured heirlooms are from the 18th and 19th century, or things that my father passed down to me that he got from his grandfather.
Did all of you grow up like Chris-chan?

>>64029773
yeah i get it, which leads me into >>64029778
you're being pretty autistic, you care about heirlooms despite their material worth because of their sentimental value. your grandfather showed your dad why something was important and then he showed that to you.
this tube probably didn't have a lot of sentimental value.

>>64029766
Exactly. My dad, and his dad before him were not exactly discerning consumers. My grandfather in particular was a heinous offender when it came to accumulating slop. Cheap, shitty knives. Cheap, shitty pistols in volumes well beyond anything worth preserving. My father isn't as bad, but he could get rid of 90% of his shit and focus in on the 10% remaining and it would be a net positive.

When an average middle or lower wealth class person passes away, it's genuinely unusual if they have more than one or two things worth keeping and preserving. The rest is just the detritus left over at the end of their life.

I'm more focused on making sure the things I buy will last and be worth keeping than anyone in the last 2-3 generations of my family were and even then I know the things that matter will fit on a single page of will at the end. Things which I specifically intended and went out of my way to ensure would be of a quality and timeless value worth preserving.

Keeping something that wasn't special when it was made, or to the person who brought it bought it, and has no special or redeeming qualities still around just because it's old is worse than being a consumer. It's anchoring yourself to generations of garbage that will get in the way of you ever building something meaningful and actually worth preserving for future generations.

>>64029789
>this tube probably didn't have a lot of sentimental value.
Like I specifically said earlier, I didn't watch the video and replied to the argument presented to me, which was that it was an heirloom that was over 100 years old.

>>64029778
Like what, anon? Name some of those things. Maybe even post a picture. What makes it meaningful exactly? What is worthy of respect and preservation in your eyes?

I suspect you're retarded, materialistic, and your life is a fat pile of shit so you have to look to the past to find anything to be proud of even though they're the ones responsible for failing to provide a better future for you. Still, show us.

That fact that you'd use such a faggot argument speaks volumes about you.

Ok, here. This is a chair that belonged to my great great grandmother. It wasn't passed down directly to me, but belonged to my grandmother's sister. I got it, because no one on that side of the family wanted it when she died, but they were happy that I was willing to take it, so that it would stay in the family.

No, he's a goalpost shifting faggot. This started with him seething against people saying
>"1910s-1950s era mass produced shlock with no particular memories attached isn't worth anything"
because duh, that's the sort of gun pictured in OP, now he's wriggled it around into rare 1700s heirlooms which nobody ever claimed was junk. And somehow his totally-real-grandpa's house is 100% made of super valuable antiques and not even a single bit of normal person junk, and anyone otherwise is somehow trash.

He's mad his hyperbole bullshit got argued over, but rather than just being reasonable he's now summoning a straw army to argue against instead.

>>64029925
So you have to create strawmen to push your argument, huh?
This was my first post, you lying, degenerate faggot: >>64029177

>>64029938
Thanks for directly proving my point lol. 100 years ago was 1925, not 1725 or 1825 you dipshit. That's way, way into the mass production era. "In the family for 100 years" means nothing these days, it could still be garbage in garbage condition that you can find in better condition for $30 online. There is no inherent virtue there, nor any inherent memories or connection or value. It definitely CAN have value, and SOME things in any given household will have real value (and again I don't just mean in the price sense either, but things that were actually used repeatedly for real tasks and shared moments). But a lot of it is going to be crap. And by definition, the only way to keep it all is going to be to have an entire house for it, or to pay for enough storage units to hold it all forever (where it will mostly sit in turn until you die and your kids or estate throws it out).

It's unironically much more meaningful to narrow down on the 1-5% of things that truly matter and then give them the respect, attention and place in your home they're due, with care over the decades afterwards, vs hoarding them with all the detritus.

>>64029177
Your grandpappy's single shit POS gat was just a tool as far as he was concerned. Any sentimental value would remain even melted and forged into a new shape that in all honesty you would probably get WAY more use out of than an old off the shelf gun in an outdated design.

I never said it was, you subhuman retard. I brought up the fact that I owned one thing from the 17th century, unrelated to the main argument.
You're just trying to come up with excuses for the fact that you're a degenerate, with a family and a culture that has nothing worth preserving. Or maybe you're just a piece of shit who your ancestors would be ashamed of.

>>64030328
Christ, what kind of pathetic family do you come from?
>>64030346
What the fuck are you talking about, poorfag? If it's the picture above, it wasn't taken in my home, but when I picked the chair up. The house was sold for $1.9m a few months later.
You can't even see any walls or windows in the picture, but I guess you're too fucking stupid to tell that it was taken inside, and the background is an inside door/wall that can be folded in and is separating two parts of a living room. But I guess you've never seen the inside of anything but a trailer.

>>64030371
Oh, so that's it. That's all you have to preserve. That's depressing.

>>64030398
>>64030371
will you two SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>64030390
>Christ, what kind of pathetic family do you come from?
same as yours, my brother in Christ. We both come from families that raises kids who grow into men who argue about stupid shit on the internet.

you trying to act above it all makes you look like a retarded faggot.

>My grandfather was a great man! He preserved several historic buildings!
>behold... I've kept this fork in near mint condition.
>he probably even ate some of his food with it, I don't because it is old and rusted
>and one day you too can put it in your silverware drawer and fondly remember that he dedicated his last days to preserving some buildings
>what? No, why would I go look at those old pieces of shit, he never owned them.

>>64030403
You first.

>>64030409
Don't try to drag me down to your level, you rootless commie faggot.
>>64030413
You too. Go back to China, where you can demolish as much historical and personal history as you want.

>>64030398
This is a thread about a cheap, mass produced, completely insignificant in any way mail order shotgun being turned into a hand crafted knife.

I'm simply naming equivalents.

>>64030432
>Don't try to drag me down to your level, you rootless commie faggot.
he said, up to his eyelids in dirt because of his low status.

SAD. such many cases.

>bait
Kyle Royer is a very, very good smith. Idk if his style is my style, but his work is cohesive and the fit and finish is insane... like one of the best in the world in that regard.

I clicked on the video and it's actually his dad, but that knife is well made, and that shotgun was junk. I wouldn't do that to an heirloom 1911, or a shotgun that was actually worth a damn, but come the fuck on.

>t. blacksmith

>>64030435
No, the argument was that a gun that had been in the family for over a hundred years had been turned into a knife.

>>64030436
Nice projection there, you third world faggot.

>>64030470
What does it being in the family for 100 years have to do with it being a piece of shit?

>>64030315
>Some kind of poorfag american hovel? I
>the fag reveals he's a yuro not actually american
Hahaha holy shit this explains everything.

>>64030472
Are you retarded or something? It's been explained quite thoroughly in this thread.

>>64030473
You're kvetching like a third world, anti-western shill, so you don't have much ground to stand on.

>>64030476
Actually is hasn't been explained at all how something that's mass produced garbage and wasn't even taken care of well somehow gains a bunch of vast sentimental value just because it's old or has been around for a while.

It has no cultural or sentimental value, it's just been laying around. It was transformed into something that took vastly more skill and dedication than the original piece ever did to create and is much more worthy of being considered an heirloom. Something meaningless was turned into something meaningful by someone with great skill.

>>64030494
If you think heirlooms that have been in the family for over a hundred years are worthless, you're a worthless faggot. It's not about money, you absolute whore.

>>64030500
I never said it's about money. Are you saying if you could keep a turd in the family long enough at some point it becomes a precious heirloom? Because it seems like that's what you're saying.

>>64030472
>>64030494
Anon see >>64030473. He's a yuro, their situation is completely different from America's 100 years ago and in the decades since, and he can't get guns like we can today either. Stuff that's cheap and easily replaceable to us is a precious heirloom to him because he and his ancestors didn't enjoy peace, prosperity, markets or freedom to the level we did. They frequently live in many century old buildings, have poor social mobility, and are a decaying continent that worships the past which is always looming over them. Now that I realize this I can see the cultural disconnect and how pitiable his posts are.

>>64030000
>nor any inherent memories or connection
Quads wasted in a tard.

>a bunch of guys with no kids arguing about heirloom shit
lmao
lol

>>64028628 (OP)
You giving them any attention.

A good knife is a better heirloom than a shitty shotgun and 'Your grandfather made this cool knife out of your great-great-grandfather's shitty shotgun' is a better story than 'this shitty unfireable shotgun has been sitting in various cabinets for six generations'. Living history is good. It is good to mount a new scope on your grandfather's rifle. It is good to replace the handle of the axe.

It would be different if it was a cool shotgun.

>>64030668
This. Probably the most galling thing about the dumb shit yuroanon whining is that this is literally the stuff of actual heirlooms: taking something generic and low value and applying actual personal effort to transform it into something unique and tied to the family.

Kyle Royer is amongst the best living bladesmiths on earth he did nothing wrong.

Fuck ya
mudda

>thread trolling to farm clicks for a youtube channel stays up
>posts calling it out get removed
Yep, called it.
How much you want to bet this thread was posted by a janny?

>>64031442
What? No, those posts are still up. The posts that got removed were from foreign shill bots posting off topic nonsense.

>>64028628 (OP)
That looks like a H&R Topper. It was a cheap POS back in the day and it's still a cheap POS now. The guy probably bought it at a pawn shop for the video.

>>64028628 (OP)
Is it his? Then butt out.
>>64031605
>still a cheap POS now.
I think becuase they are no longer made, they are going up in value, they command $100, at least!

>zoomers don't even understand intrinsic value of familial possessions, even if it's a cheap single shot break action
I have literal butter knives and tin foil that I use because they were my grandparents' and it's something to remember them by. Funnily enough, I have the same shotgun, which my mom remembers my grandpa using to chase rats around the farm with when she was a kid. Kill neo-/k/

>>64030508
Anon, just let it go. Some seething yuro is shitting himself about an American casually breaking something that would be a kingly relic of great import in his home country.

>>64028628 (OP)
This is a single-shot break-action shotgun, it has no historical value whatsoever.

>>64031654
Eloquently stated, anon. That really fits now that you mention it.

>>64031637
>Heirloom tin foil

Do you also nut in the same tube sock that your great uncle once used?

>>64031735
excessively rude way to refer to anon's mother

>>64031735
No, you stupid faggot, the tin foil one is one of the more humorous "heirlooms" that I have. It's not valuable as an "heirloom" on its own but it was something that I use that hits me in the feels sometimes when I remembered my grandma gave it to me when I needed tin foil before she passed away

>>64031889
What are you gonna do when the roll of tin foil runs out? Keep the empty box? Are you washing it and reusing it as you go?
