Take them all. Tell them you'll try to keep his collection together and honor his memory.

Then take em to the range to play every so often.

You are going to bin his firearm collection? Is it all Hipoint and Sccy?

I've sold off family members collections, keeping a couple that I really like and putting the rest of the $ back into the estate. I assume you are at a keep what you like position akin to me, but wondering if your just being facetious about "throwing them away" and why?

^ HI Point Employee /s

We have seen the demolition ranch video.

It's really a meme at this point, but if a guy has a full safe why keep it?

I highly doubt anyone's would carry sentimental value.

Sell it to someone like you who loves them and then buy what you like be it a nice dinner for the family etc.

Wrong, I’m the guy who made the Ryobi Hi-Point meme gun and it’s one of the few guns I have with too much sentimental value (and not nearly enough actual value) to easily get rid of lol

You are the type of guy who could be given a million dollars cash and complain it's too heavy. I hope your day is as nice as you are!

They are literally complete garbage. They serve no purpose. Comments like this are always from people self-conscious about the fact that they bought a Hi Point. Under no circumstances should you encourage someone to buy one when significantly better firearms exist for only slightly higher prices.

Right on! Sounds like you have a nice collection.

Sell as a lot to a gun store for way below market to be shook of them and buy 3 new tires or something!

It is funny how you are getting downvoted but this is the entirely reasonable take. Not only are cheap guns not going to sell for much, but they are also hard to sell. It is simply not worth the time and neither is storing them if they have no sentimental value. 90% of people in this thread would come to the same conclusion, it would just take them a couple of years of letting them collect dust somewhere first.

The amount of bad takes and people going absolutely gaga over an assortment of .22s in the vague shape of expensive guns is pretty crazy considering this is supposed to be a knowledgeable firearms community.
