Inherited A Very Nice Mark II Today

[Delbert]

Well, I'm now the oldest in our family since my Mom passed a couple weeks ago and I inherited a bunch of guns my Dad and Granddad had acquired over time and was still kept in the family, and one of the firearms I got was my Granddad's Mark II Target 10" bull barrel w/Leupold M8-4X Extended ER scope. The gun does have a couple very small surface rust spots in the bluing, but nothing serious that some oil and a good rubbing won't take away. I'd say it's as close to looking about new for a 1989 build date as one'll get for how high the humidity can be here in Missouri. I should say this is the blued model.

Also got a very nice 10/22 stainless w/laminate stock along with some of the inherited guns.

I'm sad, but also very happy. I'll be cleaning and oiling guns for 3-4 days I reckon.

Bittersweet, but they left you some great guns to remember them.

Sounds like you got a couple of nice guns with great family ties to boot! Kudos.

Good for you! Family guns are important! I'm still kicking but I've already passed all of those guns on to my children. Some belonged to their Great-Grandpas from both sides of the family.

I just gave a few of my Father’s guns to my son. It’s a good thing.

Sorry for your loss.
