Sorry for the troubles. There's some great members that will have all the numbers on those guns shortly. Are they all currently registered? If not they will only be parts kits...
 
As much as it pains me to say so, you should team up with a dealer like Wolverine who can legally hold these while they are deactivated and sold. They are worth much more as dewat guns than as live F/A's.

X2. Sadly, there is very little market for these weapons. A functional FN FAL will go for 3 to 500 and a dewat will go for $1,200. There is a cost involved to have them solidified but in bulk that could go down. Good luck
 
Knowing their status would help. For example a 12(5) FN is likely going to garner more interest that a 12(3). Also 12(2) guns generally won't get as much interest as 12(3) as there are more 12(3) collectors.
We would be interested in a 12(5) FN.

YES! Sell to the Shooting Cntr. I will have more to shoot :)
 
If these are 12.3 the RCMP may grab them for verification before a transfer. This takes 3-5 years . Really cuts down on the number of people with 12.3 that want to wait that long before getting the firearm.

I would think the real consensus is that it is a shame to dewat firearms like this because of F>kin B.####e laws we have in this so-called free country..but I digress....
and I puke!

I try to acquire 12.3's intact just to keep them alive as long as possible. Just the thought of that ZB-37 welded into a boat anchor makes me shudder. To take one apart and reassemble it shows the amount of skill and precision that went into it's birth. Truly an example of mechanical art.
 
The difference on the 12.3 will come in who certified the conversion in the first place. The RCMP have cetain criteria for which guns get called in to go into que.

I would suggest the following prices on some of the guns once they were deactivated:

The FN will vary depending on the maker. I see it has some Cdn accessories on them (rear sight, carry handle, possibly the wood). If the original stuff is around, put it back on the rifle and sell the sight and carry handle separately. The rifle does not look Canadian in the photo, if it was it would easily fetch $1800 dead or alive. If it's British or Australian, then $600-1100. If it's an Ishapore, then $450-650.

The Inglis Brens are hot these days. Deactivated should easily see $2K. You could even see $3K if the deactivation is done cleanly.

The mk2 sten will be worth around $500 deactivated. If it's Cdn LB, then $650 is possible. The barrel is obviously not Cdn, nor is the buttstock, so it may well be Brit. You could also strip it for parts and turn in the tube and magwell. The sum of the parts on the EE is more than the gun is worth.
