RIP Uncle Bug..
Holly,,
Your treasures need a little TLC. Simple link free cloth and light oil wipe. QUICKLY. Looks like they have been neglected for a while.. Also,, wash your hands before handling. The oil and salts in our perspiration while turn steel to rust overnight..
From the looks,, you have a very nice collection.
98' large ring Mauser, 7mm cal, German WW II trophy
Browning .22 cal auto, brake-down (the barrel can be unscrewed)
F B RADOM, kbk.s.wz.31, Polish target rifle??
Mossburg Model 46B-3, .22 cal target rifle,, A well liked and accurate rifle, may be the "find", in a modest fashion..
Congratulation,, your now a "GUN MOLL"..

JJ,
Sir, thank your the advice! No, I have not touched them with any cleaning products yet. Weather they are worth a dollar value or not, they are so special to me, because they were his.

Echoes,
I wanted a custom built gun cabinet for myself and found this website.
HTML Code:
http://www.handcraftedtraditions.com/
I liked the look of the cabinets and had one built similar to the ones shown on this website by a local guy in my area. It can give you an idea anyways if you choose the display route.

Hate to disagree, JJ, but unless I missed something, the K98 Mauser is actually an 8mm (7.92x57 Mauser).
I agree that they need a good oiling, above everything else. Motor oil will work fine in a pinch, if you do not have gun oil. Make sure you get all of the meatl parts thoroughly. I recommend a shaving brush and a cotton rag, but you can use anything you like.
I would clean and lube them as soon as possible afterwards.
Congrats!
TR

My uncle has a Type 99 that still has the mum. I'm not sure how he acquired it but I thought it odd to not be ground.

ECHO:
Take pics of the top of the receivers of the M-98 and the RADOM. The part of the rifle where the bolt enters the barrel. The M-98 should have either dou or dot and the year under it.
These among other things are what determine the values.
Look at the bolt handle, safety and the bottom of the magazines. Your M-98 has a ser. #1028, if these numbers or parts of the numbers (usually just 28) are repeated in the places Ive mentioned, this is a big plus regarding value.
The pics below are from a Radom I had. hopefully it will give you an idea of what to look for.

It is indeed a LARGE ring 7.92. The dou indicates it was made in the Deutches Waffen Werke Brunn, Bystrica in 1943. A very desireable weapon among Mauser collectors.

RE: WWII Rifles this one is probably my favorite. Although its rough on ears and arms. Its been called a Mountain or Fallshirmjager Karibiner.

old gun cleaning
Had to put my .02 in. I have a few old guns in my collection ( WWII lee enfield and mauser) While I love to use remington oil for a refurbishing oil, Hoppes is probably the best. I would also take a good look at the barrel. If large pitting is noticable it may be unsafe to fire. If there is fine pitting and you are not going to use it as a show gun but rather a hunting rifle instead of a bore brush there is a simialar brush called the tornado, found in walmart, that did the trick.
