Except for the Remington 1917, not much.

Thanks, these belonged to the man my aunt married, I guess he's my uncle but I never met him until we had to put him in a home after my aunt died. Sad situation, no family except me and my mom who hardly knew him but were in charge of his finances. Fortunately for him, we're not thieves and we kept him in a pretty nice place until he died recently at I think the age of 96 which had to be for the best, he was mostly out of it, had no one in his life and just existed. I hope I die in my sleep before I ever get to that point because I saw no discernible benefit to living that long. Hope he's in a better place

All of those guns are good investments to hold onto. I didn't realize the situation, so let me rephrase. I think the 1917 is the most valuable of the guns, but if you are able to, hold onto them all.

Thanks, why should I keep them?

(I have no sentimental attachment to them but I'm under no pressure to sell either other trying to clear out clutter)

Because guns only appreciate. Unless they are pieces of shit.
 
Unless you want to sell some of them to buy more guns. :unsure

Funny coincidence, that Rem 1917 uses the 7.62 x 54 from your ammo box post

Yep. Hence why it the most valuable of those guns. It's fairly rare. Not really rare, but fairly.

Not sure what the current price is for those Mosin's but I remember seeing them at gunshows for anywhere from $250-400. Granted I haven't been to one since covid and the crazy prices right now so you might could get double the high side for one

Ha, I should have posted the guns earlier, although it sounds like the bullets sold too high plus who knows what was even in the boxes, they were sealed shut

Yeah if they didn't have ammo you would have way overpaid
