Looking for some pricing help

[Prairiestorm]

So I recently acquired a few rifles from a relative that passed away, one of them from the research I have done is a husquavarna nitro 30-06 just looking to see what it is worth, it is not mint shape its dinged up and such was his hunting rifle :

I also have an old marlin model 81d .22lr I just reblued barrel so that part of it is mint what you think in worth ?

Thanks !

first rifle is not a Husqvarna.

No. it is a sportered model 1917 Enfield by the look of it or perhaps a restocked Remington Model 30. Can't see any markings.

The barrel has a crown marked on it does that help at all ?

Yes a M1917
The stock has some nicely done checkering but I'm not sure how the wood was finished to get that light/dark contrast
As a comparison, I bought this m1917 last fall off the ee for 550$.
Nice rifle you have there.

The finish on the 1917 was done with a torch to simulate figure on a plain piece of wood, a technique from bygone days.

How would I determine the year of this rifle ?

The British had contracted American firms to produce the Pattern 14 Enfield during WW1, Winchester, Remington and Eddystone. Following the American entry into the war in 1917 the Americans realized that it would take too long to retool these plants to produce the 1903 Springfield for American use so they contracted these firms to produce the Pattern 14 chambered in .30/06 instead of .303 British. They called it the Model 1917 U.S. and production actually far exceeded the 1903 Springfield in 1917 and 1918 making it the most common U.S. service rifle in WW1. Your rifle was made in 1917 or 1918. Remington produced a civilian version sporting rifle with the same action after WW1 called the model 30. They were a very strong well built rifle.

Hard to say if the rifle is a Rem 30.
The 81 is a decent rifle but has no real collector value.
Ask $150 for the redone 81 and go from there.
As for the 30-06, until you can determine if it's military rework or Remington 30, I would hold off on selling.
