Very relevant point. Probably not a lot of fiscal value in some of those old firearms but surely a bunch of sentimental value attached to what are often first rifles/or an inhereted piece with many memories

For sure - I had a Model 100 308 and sold it in a fit of madness when divorced etc
Shot a lot of Deer with it too - all open sights
But - prob never worth more than 500$
If I still had it - would not sell for that - so there is your backup answer :-)

considering you see burnt out old BAR's and even remmy's going for 500+I would suggest there is the possibilities of some good prices. A Winchester 100 in tidy order would have to be 700 plus wouldn't it? not a lot around so hard to price.
The aussie buy back did I believe have some allowance for rarer firearms and did pay quite well in some applications.
Their issue was getting a guy in that may've had dads rare browning shotgun and between him and the cops not knowing different, getting shit all for it. The opposite also held true where they got significantly more than what they were worth.
IF these idiots do a buy back, to make it work they have to pay decent coin otherwise people will get the shits and either sell them to people that shouldn't have them or just keep them.

This 1905 Winchester .35 SL gone too ?

Looks like a semi automatic assault pump action with a high capacity clip capable of holding more than 30 shells

Unless I've messed up the math:

$200 million dollars from Treasury estimate in police briefing paper
250,000 FAL holders also from Treasury estimate
$800 per licensed holder if, on average, everyone gets (only) one gun stolen by the Jacindagang.
That's it.
Nothing for dealers.
Nothing for accessories.
Better hope the initial paper does not reflect the final payment, but I know where I'd lay the odds.

Mate at schools dad had a 401 self loader. The push rod at the end was quite neat and elegant I thought. It was restocked in hardwood from one of the old bridges down hokitika way. Saw this back in 80s and done way before that.
@sightpicture winnie the turncoat did mention it may be significantly more than that but at guess I don't reckon they have a clue.
