My will states who gets what guns.

That's my understanding of how it works. The older (than me) people I have observed in the past, generally liquidate the expensive stuff, and gift the special/sentimental stuff before they get too old.
Now the question becomes; what is too old?

I told my wife to set a match to me , then put my ashes in a box in the coffin then add two specific 22 revolvers , five specific rifles and three specific double barrels . All but two of those had been owned by my father and grandfather .

Sika, no offense, but I do have to ask. Why on Earth would you choose to take quality firearms and consign them to a coffin for arguable the rest of existence? I have many guns that mean a great deal to me. But would never be buried with them.

Just curious.

My only recommendation is that when I die you should all get to Georgia as fast as you can for the yard sale my wife will have.
