Father in law passed away and family has asked me to get pricing on his collection.
There are a lot of folks here and would appreciate any help from you guys to place a value on each of them.
If there are any questions please ask.

I will be making the posts in the appropriate forums.
Here is his rifles:

1967 Browning 7mm Mag BAR

He bought this brand new and was his personal hunting rifle.
Has a Bushnell ScopeChief VI varible Scope.
He hunted exclusively with this rifle and he loved talking about it.
He did have to replace the stock after he bought it when he slipped and fell and broke the stock.
Rifle is in very good shape and noticeable stock colour mismatch due to stock replacement.
He bought this to replace his Winchester model 100 .308 Semi auto

This rifle is another he bought brand new and was sent back to Winchester for a warranty repair that was an issue for this model 100 semi auto.
He did use this for hunting until he needed something with more range as he hunted Mountain goats and sheep. The 7mm mag solved that problem.
Rifle is in good shape, scratches on the stocks.
I don't have the scope info as this is one of the rifles that I don't have with me right now. I will get that info and post it.

1971 Marlin .444 Model 444S

This rifle is in good shape, scratches on the stock. Looks like there was a scope mounted at one time as the scope mounting screws (4) are missing off the topside of the rifle.

1942 No 4 Mk1 Lee Enfield .303

This rifle is shorter 303 than I have seen before (22").
Rifle is in good shape for its age.

1940 Lee Enfield .303 Made in India

This rifle was redone about 15 years ago, barrel re-blued and stocks refinished and looks great.

1880 U.S. Springfield Trapdoor Model 1873 45/70

This rifle he has shot many times and he says its very accurate and has ammo for it.
The bad thing about this rifle is the stock has been altered, this used to have a full wood stack as its a military rifle.
Rifle is decent shape for its age, I would have no issues shooting this.


1993 Reminton 522 Viper .22LF with Leupold 4XLF scope

He bought this brand new, has not seen alot of shells through it and pretty much is in mint shape.

This is it for the rifles,
Thanks for your time,

The Lee Enfield No.4's barrel was shortened as part of turning it into a sporter. The barrel originally had the bayonet lugs machined into the profile, between the foresight and muzzle. The idea was to make it look more like a hunting rifle, not a service rifle. That makes it less valuable now because it's impractical to restore it, so people who want to restore one won't buy it. If the bore is good and it works as it should, it's a bargain of a hunting rifle for up to $200, you might get a bit more for it but it could take a while.

The Indian one is the previous design, the main service rifle of the British Empire and Commonwealth in WWI and still made and widely used in WWII, although the No.4 superseded it c. 1939. (You can't re-equip an army all at once, especially while it's expanding rapidly in a rapidly expanding war.) It appears the barrel and other metal is unmodified so it could be restored, but that's not cheap to do, so I'm not going to raise your hopes to getting more than for the No. 4.
