First let me say I want to thank everyone for their Responses and Expertise
I came here expecting Details & Facts and I was not disappointed at all
But I have a Longbranch and a Jungle Carbine both in Questionable condition
I know that these are Great Guns both Historically and as Shooters
but I have come to own them not of my own doing as they were gifts
They each need work to bring them up to par
Work that I have Not the Skill, Facilities, Tools, Resources,
and I am afraid even the Will or Desire to do.
I can attempt to sell them giving the buyers as much honest information as possible
I wouldnt want to be “the Guy” who sells Bad Goods without being forthright to the Buyer
I can sell them separately
I can take the Bolt from the Longbrach and use it in the Carbine
Something I believe Peter says was done after the war as the parts bins shrank
(I in fact was given the Longbranch to use the bolt for the Carbine)
or I can sell them together as a package deal and let the Buyer sort things
(which is the option that I most find acceptable)
I don't want to just give them away either
just because they are Not in top form
doesn't mean they are not at least Somewhat valuable
So I am asking you for more Feedback
What do you think they are Generally and Honestly worth
I know what I would like to get for both of them
and I don't think I am expecting to much
or trying to Soak the Buyer with Bad Goods
But I Need and want to know what the General opinion is
Thank you
