I was given 3 firearms recently and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about them.
First is a semiauto pistol it says F.B. RADOM VIS Mod35 Pat. Nr.15567
Second a long gun bolt action says  CARL GUSTAFS STADS GEVARSFAKTORI. 1922
Third is a long gun that has not much for marking it has a crown and the #BF8020 and the letters PL on the bolt.
I have pictures but my camera is not real good and I dont know how to post them.
Hope this was the right place to post. Thanks guys.

No collectors huh.  Well anyone know where I might bring these to find out value without actually paying for an apraisal?  I brought the pistol to a local range the only thing they really said was dont sell it.

I can point you towards

http://www.shootingworld.com/

there is a forum for ID and value.. toss em in there and see what you got. I have a shotgun I knew little about and they ID'ed it in a few seconds and I knew more than I needed too within a day or so.
If science fiction has taught me anything, it's that you can never have enough guns and ammo when the zombies come back to life... "WS"

The third rifle is a Mosin Nagant rifle, track down CBXboy here on the forum as he knows more about these rifles.

The Radom is a Polish made pistol from about the WWII and later era,made in Radom Poland.
They are a nice shooter that seem to be reliable enough, and have a value of around $500 for a real nice one.

The Carl Gustof is a swedish made mouser in 6.5 x 55 caliber, these are some of the most accurate Mouser rifles made and the 6.5 is a fast round.

Good rifle for whitetails, or target shooting.
These rifles can fetch around $200 for a decent one.

The Radom pistol was made from 1935 to 1945.  There are at least seven
variants of the pistol with several proof marks.  Some of them also had Nazi
proof marks.  You will need to have someone take a close look at it to
determine which variant it is.
The Mosin Nagant was the rifle that was used by the Russians in the movie
"Enemy at the Gate"  for the most part they are readly available and are good
shooters.
If you take the butt plate off carefully you might find a piece of paper underneath
with the name of the person it was issued to.
Hope this information is of some help.
