All sound like nice rifles, pictures and condition will determine what should be done, shoot, repair, etc.  Except for #10, the miserable loader, I'd throw that one away without even looking at it further.  Will save a lot of aggravation in the long run!  Or pass it on to someone that collects them, if they are looking for them, they deserve all they get.

Thanks, I'll post pics over the next few days. I am not interested in shooting them would like to have them in shooting condition. A good winter project if I can find help. Each of the Favorites has some kind of issue (missing sight, broken butt plate, etc.) The model 44"s look great to me. Is there a definitive book on these guns?

The #10 "miserable loader" is kind of like an old jeep or Bronco. You need extras around to rob parts from to keep the main one up and running.      Grin

There are several books by Frank DeHass that are helpful as well as others. Parts for the Favorites come up on Gunbroker and Ebay. Post in the for sale and wanted section here also.

32 SW is stamped on the side of the rear ramp sight. I am not familiar enough with these rifles but assume that it not original equipment.

The 32 WS sounds like the optional rear sight that went on Win 94 lever rifles chambered in 32 Win Special.

I need advise on posting photographs. I reduce the file size to less than 300k but are there dimension limits?

The size picture that you need to post is 640x480 pixils or smaller. Or, you can email them to me and I'll resize and post them.
