Bench rest Rifles

Hello.  I am new to ASSRA.  I have some rifles and scopes my father used in competition in the late 40's through early 60's.  I was planning to attend the Tulsa Gun Show this weekend, but I have hurt my back and will not be able to attend.
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the rifles to buy, or could give me information about selling the rifles. They are mostly Winchester & Remington brands.  I have one...Eric Johnson .22lr Ray Morgan maker. New Haven, Conn.  No one around here can tell me anything about the rifle.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank You...

I'm sure a lot of guys would be interested, but you'll need to take many good pictures, and post them before anyone could provide info on what you have and how desirable they may be.
Be aware as a first time poster that many guys will be hesitant to buy from anyone whose brand new here and has no history. So sales might be limited to face to face sales only.

ERIC JOHNSON was a superb barrel maker “back in the day”.   People would buy new Winchester target rifles, and have them shipped to EJ for a new barrel before they even got the rifle.  One supposes that the rifle referred to above was assembled by Morgan using a bbl from Eric Johnson.

Hey I'm in the area and understand the back issue. Walked 5.9 miles today at the show and I'm beat. Could help with selling stuff if you are interested. I wanted to buy a couple today but have too many projects now and my daughter has made it clear that stuff needs to go, she doesn't want to deal with it.
