Answer 1

In reference to rifle #2 (lower in your pictures)Thanks for the additional information not supplied here earlier
You have a Remington Model #6 falling block .22 caliber rifle.
20" round barrel. "BOYS" Model.Take-down Smooth bore (No rifling)Rifle. There is no way to trace when this gun was made due to mass producing of this rifle. There were approximately 497,000 of these rifles produced and manufactured between 1901-1939 respectively. The following data is from a current Dealer data base that is updated regularly as needed, based on over all percentage of wear.. Prices quoted are for August 2007 based on current market value (actual)Note***UMC (United Metallic Cartridge ) is a trademark of Remington Arms Company

Again these rifles do have collectors value.

60% $250
50% $175
40% $150
30% $125
20% $10
10% $75

Of course it is up to you if you want to sell it or not

Answer 2

That bottom rifle is NOT a Stevens Favorite.

The Favorite was a dropping block action with a distinctive triggerguard/action levere. Here is a photo of a Favorite:

To me, it looks as if it could be a Stevens Tip-Up Rifle. You really need to let a qualified appraiser take a look at it to get an idea of value.

As someone else said, the .22 semi-auto looks like a Marlin Model 60 Semi-Auto. Marlin made millions of those little rifles and sold them under house brands from Sears, Montgomery Ward, and Western Auto. I can remember them selling for around $60.00 in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Little or no collector value unless in perfect condition.

Answer 3

They are PRICELESS because your Dad gave them too you!

Perhaps you are too young to fully understand what that means, but trust me, no matter what the dollar value you want to keep them and keep them safe.

These are something that you will want to take out on some special day and show to your kid and one day, leave to him/her. Think of them as family heirlooms and treat them that way.

JD is very knowledgable...the one with the two tubes, one on top the other is an older, maybe 1950s, semi-auto .22 rifle.

I have a number of old Marlins but all of mine have different trigger guards than the one you have. It's definitely not a model 60....maybe it's a model 99. Still, no great dollar value but a collector and maybe shooter anyway.

As JD said, DO NOT clean or scrub that older gun. It could be worth several hundred....BUT don't clean it other than wiping a very light coating of gun oil on it to protect it. You should not attempt to shoot that one.


I would be very, very shocked to find no markings on either of those rifles. Take them out on a sunny day and look over every inch of the metal.....there are makings there you just haven't seen them yet.

Go to www.rimfirecentral.com and join the Forums. Take some more pics, out in the sunlight if you can and post them there for much more information.

Answer 4

They are older but look in bad shape and rusty. Not worth much but you could find a gunsmith and maybe trade them for one rifle that is safe.
