In the absence of further information, we have to assume Grandpa didn't leave a mountain of debt. If that were the case, the executor would be obliged to sell the gun on the open market and there would not be much talk of keeping the gun in the family. and if Uncle Frank really wanted it, he could certainly bid on it like everyone else.
Well, we don't know enough about the gun but from what I see I'm not looking at a gun that approaches $10K. I'd need to some more case color for that to happen.
