Re: Unknown gun #1
Sporterised it's not worth much, the floorplate appears to have been on at least two different rifles before this one. Does the bolt number match the barrel serial? By any chance does it have an SA...

Re: M96 Swedish Mauser
Looks like it would be a good shooter but no real collector value left. The bolt does appear to have been modified and is not an M38 bolt (which was downturned) as the profile is different. The...

Re: Old Colt 25 Auto
The Colt may have been reblued, hard to say for sure from that picture. I would say value is in the $200 to $250 range, would need better pics to judge any further. The Smith 57 is a nice revolver,...

Re: 50 rds of winchester.22 auto (brand remington)
It would depend on the style and condition of the box. An older (1930's to 1950's) full box would have some collector value if it's in nice shape. The later plain green boxes from the late 60' and...
