    FIRST & critically important, don’t sell anything right now.

    Get to know some of the folks here, who could give specific advIce FIRST.

    I have personally seen 2 cases of premature recipient selling of extremely valuable weapons for pittances.

    Next, please tell us your general location.

    Also, Ii wouldn‘t fire anything until you have an understanding of values.

    Does anyone in your Family have firearms experience?

    I'm not in a hurry to sell anything and there are a few that I know that I want to keep and even display. My father did a good job of keeping records of the date of purchase and the price he paid for them. I've gone to a few gun value websites to do a little poking around on values, but I don't know how to judge the condition.

    I'm located in South Austin and saw that there are a few gun shows over the next few weeks that I may go to just to talk with some people.

    Welcome to the forum and my condolences to your loss of your father. Have you ever considered keeping his collection and passing on to your family?
    Thank you for the kind words.

    I'm going to keep some and probably sell some. I just don't have the room to keep them all. But I'm sure I'll catch the bug when I learn more about things, I'll probably buy or trade for ones that peek my interest.

    Howdy. Sorry to hear about your Pops.

    Since you're not in any hurry, hang out with some of the folks here that know a helluva lot more than I ever will, and give them a chance to guide you to a more substantial gain on what was left to you. Some of he guys here are walking encyclopedias of firearms knowledge.

    Well, 'cept for those one or two that think Glocks are perfection...

    I hope to learn a lot about guns and owning guns in Texas. My father just passed and he was a collector of rifles. Hopefully, I can get a good understanding of why he collected the guns he did and learn how to best judge if I should sell, keep or trade his collection. Thank you all!
    Good morning, welcome to the forum. Sorry about your loss.
