Could someone help me identify what kinds of guns each of these are?

So far, the only ones I have any idea on is the first, third, and fourth. The first looks like an 1853 Enfield? Except the wood stock extends almost to the end of the barrel and there are two-three metal bands holding the barrel on in pictures I've seen.

Also, the 3rd and 4th are Lee-Enfield .303's.

The 3rd had this written on it:
Enfield 1896 LEC I
and the 4th had this:
Enfield 1896 LE I

Anyways, I don't know enough about guns to figure it out myself. Any help is appreciated!

Need a better picture, but bottom long gun could be a Winchester M37, probably 12ga.

Thread would have better response in Firearms Research.

1: Snider rifle with stock cut back.*
2. Unknown cheap and beat up single barrel shotgun.
3. Lee Metford or early Lee Enfield No 1 with stock cut back.*
4. Lee Metford or early Lee Enfield No 1 with stock cut back.*
5. Tube magazine bolt action .22 rifle, make not obvious to me.
6. Unknown cheap, beat up, and altered, sidelever smallbore shotgun, .410 or smaller.*
7. Remington Model 6 single shot, probably a .22 but maybe .32 rimfire.
8. Stevens Model 94 single barrel shotgun (or similar.)
9. Cheap European folding trigger revolver.

3 is a Lee Enfield Carbine Mk I, while 4 is a Magazine Lee Enfield (rifle) Mk I, both with the foreends cut back (and the rifle's barrel too, by the look of it). The stamp on the butt socket confirms it, but the flattened and bent-forward bolt handle on the carbine is distinctive. The 6 round magazine on the carbine vs the 10 rounder on the rifle is also a distinguishing feature, though it is not unknown for 10 round mags to be shortened on sporterised Lee Enfields.

2 looks like a Harrington & Richardson though there are a number of similar-looking guns it might be, 8 could be a Winchester Model 370, and I'd be willing to bet that 6 is Belgian (I've seen others just like it - cheap little guns, mostly in .410). Otherwise I agree with Jim Watson's list. All of these would be a great deal easier to identify if you listed or photographed all the markings.

Thanks for the info.

These guns aren't mine, they're my Grandpa's, so I only have the one 4x6 picture that I scanned. I'm heading up there this new years, so I'll see if I can take pictures of the markings, etc. and better induvidual shots of each gun, and post them up here later.

Also, if there are any U.S. or Canada residents who would know what it would take to transfer those guns to my name and legally move them from my Grandpa's in Canada, to my home here in Michigan, any information along those lines would be appreciated.

Also, where would I find the markings on each of the guns? (Or does it vary from gun to gun.)

Thanks for all the info.

Oh, and if anyone here is a mod/admin, could you move this thread to Firearms Research?

Done.

It does vary. Places to look are the exterior of the action (including the underside and the tang or butt-socket), the breech end of the barrel and in the case of the break-open guns generally under the breech end of the barrels (ie remove the barrel and look on the underside).

#5 is a Remington, a 512 I believe. Nice little rifles.
