Okay Guys,
I need some help in identifying and approximate worth of a 22 auto rifle that was stolen from my mother-in-law’s house.
I think my father-in-law got this gun in France when he was serving there as a US Air Force Fighter pilot.
It had a full stock and I think it was tube fed but could have been a clip. The barrel was at least 20 inches but could have been longer.
The most unique thing about this gun was the firing pin. It was circular instead of a pin like most guns. I thought this was pretty neat because instead of making one dent in the rimfire case, it dented the whole rim, all the way around. In fact I think that this is such a good idea, it may not have been French.
Anyway, it was stolen from her house, by her oldest son, along with about 5 other really neat guns. I have identified all of them and priced them. My mother-in-law is on her last legs and the executor of the will wants a ballpark figure, (high) to deduct the cost of the guns from the oldest son’s inheritance. No he is not willing to let anyone appraise these guns, in fact he is down right nasty about this subject so I am not looking to him for any help.
Thanks, Sixgun
