Are they worth anything?

[Eagleye]

Have a chance to acquire 3 older lever action rifles.
Exteriors and lumber are in fairly decent shape, but
the bores have suffered severely. Not much of anything
but dark corrosion in them.
#1 is a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle ring carbine in 44 WCF
#2 is a Winchester Model 1894 rifle [not carbine] with full length magazine in 32 Special.
#3 is a Marlin 1894 rifle in 25-20.
Estimates of values if I'm buying them? Sorry, no pictures yet, just looking for ballpark.
Thanks, Dave.

Sometimes shooting thru dark clouds isn't so bad.
Bit of a gamble, but all three are interesting and worth their weight in parts value.
Dunnoh, $1000-$1200 for the lot?

#3 would be great if it shoot some pie plates groups.

For #3 I have a .25-20 barrel liner that needs a home and you can have for what it cost me Dave, if you get that rifle.

 

[The Outsider]

$500.0 each if they are otherwise original Dave,
no holes drilled, original finish etc.

Give them bores a good scrub, you might be surprised.

They might make nice wall hangers at least!

 

[Eagleye]

Thanks to all who responded. I think I may be able to buy them for a decent price.
Ardent. I will definitely keep that liner in mind, Thanks. Dave.

If you get all 3 for under $1,800.00 that would be a good buy

 

[kamlooky]

So, didjah gitt'em?...............

 

[Eagleye]

I bought a whole bunch of firearms, some only wallhangers, some are decent, 14 guns in all, for an attractive price.
The three mentioned are included. Also 4 rimfires, 4 Shotguns, a Swiss Vetterli [41 rimfire]in good shape, etc, etc.
I will be cleaning up and checking them over in the next bit. One bad surprise that I missed, the upper and lower
tangs on the M92 SRC have been broken and welded. Will definitely devaluate it somewhat. I also got a nice clean
.308 M88 Winchester with optics in the deal.

 

[kamlooky]

I had one with a broken tang that was fixed oarribly.
Found a receiver at a gun show and had the barrel swapped over and
the kibble & bits too.
Felt pretty good look'in at it afterwards.
Kept the old receiver just in case.

I have a friend with an old PCMR 30-30 Winchester lever gun that had a poor bore and shot so so groups. I loaded up some fat cast bullets .311 and it turned it into a tack driver
