Many probably just used up with everyday use. $25K-$35K for pedestrian guns in verious conditions. Depends how bad the buyer wants the gun. Some higher. A lot more for guns with Civil War provenance or owned my someone of noteriety. Engraved gun presented to President Lincoln as a sales pitch is in the Smithsonion.

My lever guns. From top to bottom: Winchester 94, 1951 production, my dad's twin brother's rifle. Marlin Texan in 30-30; since sold. Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70; it now sports a Ranger Point Precision rear peep sight.* I'm getting ready to take it to a bear hunt here shortly. Marlin/Remlin 1894 in .44 mag; since sold.
 Marlin/Remlin 336 Youth model in 30-30. The only lever gun I have with the despised pistol grip.  * $10 says @Arowneragain knows what's headed his way in a week or so.

They wrapped it up in newspaper and he took it home. He took his first deer with it and was the only thing he brought back from Michigan after he moved to California. I don't have a picture of the rifle by itself but this was taken in 08 the last time we went shooting. I found this picture a few years ago on photobucket and PAspeedmaster and another good guy ( can't remember his name) cleaned it up for me.

I was the only family member intrested in shooting so he left them all to me.

I just need to get over the guilt of selling them. Your $.02 is appreciated and enjoy keeping the memories of your grandpa alive by using those tools. Curiosity killed the cat, what were the 3 guns you really remember, you dont have to tell the story. My dad was not a handgun guy, but he wasn't against them. So he had 3 guns a nylon 66 , a browning sweet 16, and a model 10 Smith. I learned to shoot on all 3. When I was 15, 30 years ago he loaned me the last $20 to buy a skinny barreled ruger mk2 from a friends dad. We didn't shoot up schools then.

I put this Winchester 88 together about 12 years ago for my dad. It started life (with me) as a rusted up barreled action in .308. I made a new barrel for it in 22-250imp and my dad provided the stock for the project.

@rockrash
Thanks! The flintlock is a Kibker colonial in 50 caliber. Look up Kibler Long Rifles, they are really really nice and historically correct muzzleloaders that come 98% complete with really nice wood. You only have to do a little finale finishing and barrel browning. They are as close as you can get to a truly custom hand crafted muzzleloader |

The shiny stuff on the lever and barrel is from storing inside the display/carry case by the original owner. The stuff on the action is from the factory.
