My parents' house got 5 feet of water, and we pulled out 3 old guns which likely hadn't been fired in decades. One is a bolt-action 22 which belonged to my great-grandfather, another is a bolt action springfield 10 gauge shotgun which accepts a magazine from the 60s, and a third is a 1950s bb gun.

What can I do to get them back in working order?

Should I just bring them to a gunsmith or are they even worth saving?

What are some reputable br area gunsmiths that I can bring them to?

Clean them good, work the mechs in them well and oil everything. Check them in a couple of weeks. Then make the gunsmith determination.

Give them to me so I can properly dispose of them.
