The first ie a Winchester model 1873 original octagon barrel 44 Magnum and I have another with a 26" barrel same style along with a model 1894 octagon barrel that's a 32/40 caliber


All three were left to my brother and he wants me to help find a buyer.

I wouldn't sell. Maybe your kids or your brothers kids may want them. It didn't cost you anything. You'd probably regret it if you sold them.

they are damn near worthless nowadays in those calibers. I'll give you $20 to take them off your hands

The problem isn't affording them. I have ZERO interest in a gun or guns I can't use

And if that interest ever sparked, you'll be very upset you let these get away.

I think it's a perfect opportunity to protect the family belongings, begin researching the rifles and possibly discover a brand new hobby/collection. Those are some fine firearms.

They buy them and give them to his kids when they are old enough. Especially if those guns have been in the family for a long time.

I agree totally Clyde. They have ZERO sentimental value to me because it isn't my families belongings.

This is just a deal I'm trying to help my brother on.

If I had an additional 7-10 grand laying around for things I have ZERO interest in I would consider it.
