Bought vacation house, found 2 rifles in the garage
Basically, subj.
Now I have 2 extra bolt action rifles. Quite rusty, though. One is .22, judging by the barrel and chamber, the other one, my best guess is .30 carbine. Brief inspection didn't reveal any caliber, make or model references and I didn't have time for more throughout check. I couldn't identify the pieces right off the bat. The .30 cal has 1911 stamped on the receiver. Looks old and rusty, but salvageable an might actually worth something. Barrel, muzzle and breach look fine. The .22 will probably end up at the next gun buyback
I left them there for now, will collect them next time, want to run serial# with my police buddies, to make sure they weren't stolen, but if they were, then I'll be happy to return them to the rightful owner (and let them deal with the rust ).
Update: given the features that I noticed, such as pretty distinct internal magazine - looks like the second rifle is Italian Carcano 1891.Last edited by Metz; May 20th, 2018 at 08:12 PM.

Very nice find and good for you! If those were left behind maybe their is more. Do some digging in the eves and stuff. I know of a guy who found a $2500 sword in his eves.

I'm going to assume that your new property is located in Pennsylvania, because otherwise you'd be violating Federal law if you kept them. Unless you became a resident of the other state. Or have an FFL.
