Most probably belong there too. Was over at Uncles, and in his metal out building when I saw these in a trash can. He said he's had them for 20 or 30 years and ment to fix'em up. I ended up with the pile.
Did get a good little Marlin 80. Stripping it down for a make over. It will give me something for the next gunshow.

I have a few of those Marlin 80's I've restored. They are actually great shooters. I have one that has a superb blue job on it.

Blacktop, good save, no gun belongs in a trash can! Show us some refinished photos when you are done. Good to see a well used rifle have a second life

is that top one a savage bolt shotgun? I just recently revived one due to it being tossed. the trigger pivot was all messed up and would drop the firing pin when closing the bolt! neat. great turkey blasters.
good catch rescueing those.

ya may be right, clip looks savagey, but stock looks mossy. clips are prob all the same, built like a tin can.

The second one down looks like maybe a lever action .22?

Yep, Top one is a Mossberg Model 195, next is a Westpoint 33 which is a house brand for the Marlin 336. The no stock is a Riverside, did not see a model number. Last is a Springfield 67. Stock only is a SKS I believe. Marlin 80 should be done in a couple days. bluing is done and bathing in oil. Stock is hung and will get another coat or two of tru-oil.

The third from the top looks like a "sears and Robuck
" Ranger?? I am "restoring one for a friend right now. It has been a fun little project the thing had about 35 years worth of gunpowder and dust inside it though.

Here's the Marlin 80. I still need to get a clip for it. Shot a few singles through it, everything worked as it should but I need to get a magazine to be sure it function's 100%.

Next I am doing the Savage Sprinfield 67f . This pics is from earlier today, the metal is now in the white and ready for final polish before blue. Wood is getting a degreaser and then to steam iron. Lots of oil stain where it meets the receiver.

Thanks, labor of luv thing. Just like any car nut or what ever your into. Lots of prep work, my labor versus what the gun is worth I would get paid in chinese nickels ! 
I puchased a clip and some new marlin iron sights from the local shops. Gun cycles flawless, shot a few clips off the back porch. seems to hit good. I will post another pic.

Did you do that rebluing yourseld?

Yes, Birchwood Casey Super Blue. I had attempted complete cold blue jobs before with no success. Then I finally came up with a procedure that works well as long as there is no hard spots in the metal.

Where in Ohio are you located? If it's close, next time you get ready to blue something I'll chip in for materials and we can blue things together.

Ok, but we'll have to clear a spot in the barn for ya. You'll be here awile. Like I said it's a process that takes time. Not some thing done in a few hours. Maybe my process is overkill but I get good results. Here's a walk through you can try for yourself.
Prep:
1. Wash all part's to be blued in a hot mixture of water and Dawn dish soap. Rinse with very hot ( not boiling hot water ) repeat two more times. From this point you will never touch part/parts with your bare hands. Wear some rubber gloves ! Dry with paper towels. Do not use use rags or towels that have been washed with laundry detergent or fabric softener. These leave an oily residue, great for smell, bad for bluing.
2. Next you need a clean fine wire wheel on your bench grinder that has never been used on anything else but your bluing project's . Wire parts in one direction to a silver finish, barrel needs to be done around diameter and not the length.
3. Depending on condition of part you will need emery cloth in grits of 50, 80, 150, 300 (300 can also be found in a square foam pad) If there is no rust, pits, ect.. you can skip the 50. Sand parts in same direction that you wire brushed. Barrel can be locked in a padded vice and sanded with a two handed pull pull motion around the diameter. Wash with hot water mixture and rinse very well. Dry with paper towels.
Blue:
4. Wipe down part/parts with rubbing alcohol, rinse with warm water, dry with PT's. Next you will need some (20-50) 3in X 3in white cotton patches that are not contaminated with laundry soaps. Warm part/parts with a heat gun or hair dryer but not hot to touch. Wet a couple patches with Birchwood Casey Super Blue. wipe down entire part in one direction. When doing the barrel wipe length ways end to end. Let set for 30 sec. Rinse with cold water, dry with PT's , buff with new never used 0000 steel wool in one direction.
5. Repeat step 4 three to eight time's as desired.
6. When done bluing coat part/parts with a heavy coat of oil for the next 48-72 hours. Reapply oil daily.
7. Wipe off excess oil, enjoy your hard work !

That seems pretty easy, actually. I've got at least one shotgun barrel to blue and possibly a CZ-52. I'll let you know how it goes!

Great, show us some pics when it's done. Here's the Malin 80 with clip and new front and rear sights.
