Sadly a guy i worked with passed away last year. I now know his son and work with him though. He inherited his fathers rifles and selected the ones that hold sentimental value for him and he gave me these ones as payment for fixing up one of the keepers.
I know they don't have much value and don't appeal to me so they will probably end up on the EE. I have no idea the true value on them but the .22 looks cool but is huge and heavy. I might cut the Lee Enfield as short as legally alowed for a short gun if it's not worth anything and the shotgun is ouclassed by my others so it will never get used.

What do you think are they worth keeping or let them go to a better home? What do u think they are worth?

Of course i have pics!

Shotguns like that are priced at $200 and up on the EE these days, no idea if they're selling. Lots of them priced around $350, but you can buy a new shotgun with a lifetime warranty for less than that.

The Lee Enfield is worth $150-200, judging by local gun store prices and the EE. I'd keep it if I was you.

That .22 is a fun-looking range toy. I've seen similar for $250-350 as of late.
 
I have yet to clean the guns but they all look likebthey are in perfectly functional condition, but definatly show a lot of use. I will want to definitely try the .22 and i have an 8 year old son that might want it. I thing these guns have seen more wear from handling and storage than shooting so the barrel should be good.

That's a nice example of a 46b Huskydude
 
I also have a 46B. Fine shooting rifle, although I use a modern scope. It was my grandfather's rifle bought new in 1938.
 
That Lee Enfield No.4 was made by Savage, the single most prolific manufacturer of that model, so it's not rare, but many of them have been cut short so ones like you have, with the original length barrel, are of interest to milsurp collectors and shooters who can't find or can't afford the ones that weren't sporterized. With a replacement stock and handguards (the two pieces of forestock on top of the barrel) and the few metal parts to attach them, it can be re-fitted to the original configuration. Someone who wants to do that will probably give up to $250 for it, which is more than enough to replace it with one that is sporterized beyond recovery but quite serviceable.

I wouldn't want to butcher something that has value to someone else, i knew it wasn't rare but that doesn't mean i should bubba it.

Assuming its only missing parts and hasn't been drilled, tapped, cut, etc, then it would be a candidate for a restoration which would increase the value. If its been messed with already, then have at'er you can't lower the value by a significant amount at that point.
 
Canadian Sportsman Savage. I will probably get shot down over this, but that one I would keep, for sure.
