Thank you thank you!
I love these rifles. My dad was active in Cowboy Action in his later years and left these for me. I'm not into the Cowboy stuff - yet, but maybe one day.
Thanks for the welcome and compliment!

I'm not gonna lie... started reading your post and for a split second my dukes came up! I was thinking "whatever mate?!"
Then I calmed down. Lol
Appreciate the heart rate check and compliment.
What's your address? I'll ship them out directly to you today!

I recently paid $1,800 for a Marlin Cowboy Carbine 45 Colt in perfect, unfired condition with box, papers, everything. That was at least top dollar in my opinion but I wanted the rifle.
Your 45 Colt has the checkered stock and forend and looks gorgeous. I would think that it would fetch at least as much. The other rifle with the case hardened receiver should sell for a bit more IMHO.
Your best bet is to sign onto GunBroker and search “completed items”, sorting by highest # bids. That way the ones with zero bids that didn’t sell are at the end. Then check listings on GunsInternational. That won’t give you completed sales and some sellers there are smoking dope, but there are a few similar rifles for sale there as well.

Excellent feedback, thank you. I did check both of those sites and got a wide range, from 1500-4000 ish, so I appreciate your experience and input greatly. I do have boxes for these but used one of the foam inserts for something else. I believe I have the other foam cutout.
Thank you again.

I really appreciate that, very much. Dad had an eye for good looking, and shooting, firearms.
Thanks for the welcome. The friendliness here is something that will keep me coming back to this forum.

You have two beautiful rifles that belonged to your dad. NEVER SELL THEM. Keep them, use them like they were designed for, and pass them onto the next generation when you are finished with them. No way I'd sell my father's guns....for any reason or any amount of money!!!
