What to offer for Mod 70
Got a call from a friend, and his girlfriends widowed aunt is looking to sell some of her husbands guns to help pay for his funeral. My friend said that he went to her house to look not think he'd find anything worth buying so he was floored to find 2 Win. Mod 70 Pre-64's! One is a standard model 1950 in .270 and the other is a Featherweight 1957 in .270.
I'm interested in the standard and from what my friend told me it is in nice shape but the blueing is about 70% with a little rust but not pitted. The stock has some marks but no dings. He said the gun is nice enough to restore but not worth enough in it's current condition to be worth the prices seen on gunbroker.com (which i think are too high anyways, IMO). I trust what my friend says 110%. So just wondering what would be a fair number to offer for it considering you were to have restored.
