I still have my fathers lever action 30-30. Love it.Sure wished I never sold my lever action 30-30. Gave my father's pump action 30-30 to a relative, since there are no more mail Dobbs in our clan to carry on the name. My dad's brother was a Marine - he retired after 30 yrs and a week later died. I've only seen a picture of his daughter (who I think was older than me) and the boy about my age. It would have been nice to have kept up with them, but I never had contact with them in my life. It would have been nice to know that if he produced more Dobbs of our clan to carry on the name but here in AL roots, me and the brother are it, and we don't have long to go now. So gave it to my sisters son who adored my father, me and the brother agreed he would keep the gun in the family unlike his father who was STEAMING mad I was given the gun. What nobody knew (except probably my father) it was me who gave the money to my mother to finish paying for it (it was in layaway at Sears) when I came home from my 2nd Vietnam trip - they hadn't seen me in 2.5 yrs (did back to back tours). Me and the brother never had kids - except he did inherit some from the woman he married - I was married twice, still with the 2nd one going on 36 yrs come June 2, same day (our 2nd anniversary) my mother died in a wreck.
