I offered to post on here hoping to get some information for a friend who is interested in selling off some of his WWII rifles and has no idea where to start at for pricing or if there is interest in them

The rifles are:
  1. MAS 36 7.5*54
  2. MAS 45 .22 trainer
  3. MAS 49 7.5*54
  4. MANNLICHER M95C 8*56r
  5. ENFIELD P14 .303
  6. CARCANO 41 6.5X52
  7. COOEY M82 .22 training rifle
  8. MAUSER W625 .22 training rifle
  9. Lebel (St. Etienne) M92 carbine 8*50 R
  10. Swift Training Rifle c/w original wodden case
  11. various Lee Enfiedl barrells and stocks *already some interest in these, so i am going to try to get the info requested to those indiv's ASAP
  12. 8*56R ammo, Nazi marked 1938

Will try to see if he can supply pics and/or better descriptions for the rest of the firearms, especially if there is interest in specific ones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

FYI - A Model 41 Carcano should be in 6.5x52 Mannlicher Carcano, not 6.5x50 Japanese semi-rimmed.

If it's in the Japanese round, it's been messed with.

Unless, its a Japanese Carcano Type I rifle.

Then it wouldn't be called a Model 41 Carcano, would it? I read 'CARCANO 41' as an 1891/41 Carcano - the one with the 27 inch barrel, made in the 40's.

If he has an 1891/41 in 6.5x50 SR, it's messed with. If he has a Type I, he's incorrect in calling it a Model 41 Carcano.
 
Andurp, Nabs, and JP - it is in 6.5X52. I simply hit the wrong key entering the numbers and didn't catch it, but I'm learning something so I got that going for me...

I figured that was the case, but you really never know. With bubbas and just general legitimate oddities, anything is possible. A 91/41 Carcano will be sub 500 dollars in very good shape. Perhaps around 4? I want one, but I'm not too up to date on prices right now because I'm too broke at the moment anyway.
 
The M41 Carcano if its in VG+ condition I don't see selling above 300$ (I know a place that has been trying to sell a VG+ one for months at 250$). Just not enough interest and ammo is difficult to find at the moment (the only stuff really commercially available at the moment is Norma ammo for 40+$ a box of 20).

Is it a Mas 36 of Mas 36/51 (if it has the Grenade Launcher it is the 36/51). If it is a Mas 36/51 in Exc condition (they come up a fair bit like that) around 400-600$. If it is Mas 36 likely a little bit of a premium on that provided the condition is the same (if it is WWII or earlier manufacture that commands a extra nice premium as not to many WWII dated ones come up).

The Mas 49 (the semi-auto right) I could see going for 1400$ maybe. The issue is there isn't many in Canada which makes them more expensive but by the same regard people for some reason are willing to pay significantly more for a mismatched (i.e. home built) Garand then these rifles.

The Steyr-Mannlicher just based on the information provided I could see selling anywhere from 150-300$ depending on model type and condition (if it is one of those M95/30s also called M95/34s expect around 200$).

The P14 I could see selling anywhere from around 350-600$ depending on condition (most sell at 400$, also if it has the volley sights still it is worth a good deal more than 600$ maybe around 1000$).

The 8x56r ammo I can see selling for 10$ a box of 10 still on the mannlicher clips, though it might take a bit of time to sell.

These are just rough ideas for what I have seen some of these go for. Without pictures and more information these are the best guesstimates i could come up with. Hope this helps

Happens to all of us, any idea what the date of maker is on the top of the barrel ? if she is Terni made, you will see a rectangular box with a crown at the top the last two digits of the year (41, 42). 1943 made examples only have the crown in the box.

$20 or more. I've seen the clips alone go for $10/each.
