I’m buying estate lot, 3 rifles had sightsground off how much does it affect value

I wasn’t looking for a valuation of the firearms, I was more checking if they are just junk because of the mods. I don’t have the full details or pics to share yet I head back over on the 28th to help clear the house as it was a family member. Sadly the executor is making me pay the estate for them even though it was stated that they are to go to me. I just wanted some ammunition against him to help drive the price down as I’m sickened to have to pay.

Anyways, the one 30-06 was an ooolllddd Husqvarna, then there’s two .22s another old husky and a new Savage. The other guns thankfully have not been wrecked! I was thinking of just turning the 06 into a project gun and rebarrel the Mauser action. The savage was just epoxied, I will look up the removal process, thanks to those that suggested it.

Condolences to the passing of the family member.
The highlighted part is of concern.
If the firearms are willed to you, how can you be charged for them?
Is the executor keen on the percentage they will get out of the estate hence wishing
some kibbles $ bits from you to enhance this amount?
Something smells rather stinking on this.

Photos would sure help.

Oh, what happens if you refuse to submit any form of payment?
 
How much will they go for on EE? Chances are $100 or less. Anything that has been treated that way isn't worth taking a chance on. An action might have been way overpressured. Gunsmithing is expensive. If you are an amateur gunsmith, your time is free, and you can completely restore appearance and function, maybe they will be worth $250 each when you are done.
 
Depends what they are. If they were, say, Pre-64 M70s you could easily get $600 just for the action and bottom metal assuming the rest is junk. If they were older Remington M700s you could get $250 for a complete action. A Husky, depending on the action, could fetch you $100. If they were old CIL Cooeys then you're looking at $50 a piece on the high side.

Who said anything about ignorance.
You didn’t offer up enough information .
There are some silly questions posted on here from time to time, but then there are the really dumb answers.
Those are the ones to be worried about.
You know, the questions on home defence “what’s the best ammo for....”
That’s a dumb question.
