A few rifles I picked up and some questions

[realmswalker]

I picked up about 4 rifles and had some questions about them.

The first one I picked up is a remington nylon model 66. It is in excellent condition and came with a scopechief II 22 bushnell. The only mark on this gun is a small ding on the crown that is near the outer edge.

What is the approximate value of this gun with scope? Pics at the bottom.

The second gun is a remington nylon 76. This gun is in pristone condition and came with a weaver V22 scope. This gun has no dings or marks on it.

the third gun is a Norinco sks. It came with the tent spike bayonet and the original cleaning kit with everything in it. It is all matching with what I believe is a low serial number. From what I rsearched it was made in 1967, I could be wrong. The rifle is in very good condition. the pics at the bottom show all the markings on the receiver and the wood of the gun. it came with a 20 round magazine with a big chinese star on the side, but since this is CA, I removed that.

Do I have a nice sks here? What is it's approximate value? pics at bottom

The next gun is a ruger 10/22. The stock is a butler creek. I believe the barrel is an after market barrel.

based on the pics can anyone tell if it's a heavy barrel?

Where should I measure diameter to find out for sure?

Also the trigger group doesnt look like the stock trigger group, can anyone possibly idenify this please?

you really hit it big with the remmy's, go check auction arms, or gunbroker, those models are bringing prime money. If the scopes actually came with the rifles as part of a package, that would be even more metric tonnage of money, but I have no idea how you would find that out, and I doubt that they did, anyway.
The weaver is a excellent scope, all steel, el paso made, good for 30 bucks in good condition. Those Bushy's are starting to go up as well. You used to be able to get them for about 10 bucks, 3 years ago. You can get 30 for it now as well; they are unique in that , their mount moves anywhere on the dovetail, and then the scope itself can move to and frow within it's own mount. They are excellent scopes, especially if it is a variable 2 x 8, and it has a finer type reticle in it, not the big fat reticles that are the same thickness all the way across them.
Those remmy's could be as high as 500 a piece, especially the 66 in a lever, woa!!! that one could get rediculous sick...

Thanks ranger. Anyone with any help on the sks or ruger?

The barrel of the Ruger is a sporter contour which is more like the stock barrel in diameter dimensions than a bull barrel. It is longer than the stock barrel, possibly one of the longer 24" ones that aftermarket makers like Green Mountain make or a special order from custom makers like Lilja (though I think their maximum length is 23"). Check to see who made it and the length.

From what I've read, their is a small amount of interest in the Norincos but I think it is mainly due to the fact that they are un-importable today.

I wish I could but there are no markings on the barrel. I will do a real close inspection.

Look at the trigger guard on the Norinco to see if there is a stepped appearence.
Pull the action from the stock and look to see if there is a through pin holding the barrel in place or is it visually screwed into the receiver.

If stepped guard and pinned barrel, it is a commercial variation made enmasse for the US market.
Quality is not on par with the genuine military used forged guard/screwed barrel guns.

About $125-$140 for commercial and about $175-$250 for military SKS.
Like everything, condition is everything.

Remington Nylon rifles and recently Winchester 9422 rifles have cult followings even larger than the Ruger 10/22.
Values can be quite high in the right market.

Used 10/22 rifles, no matter how tricky looking, do not bring great amounts of money on the used gun market.HTH
