How Many Are Old Enough to Remember When?

My 1st deer rifle was an all original 30-40 Krag and I paid $45 for it in 1969. My dad bought a 1903A3 for $14.95 and it was sent to our home in the mid 1950's.
My 1st Ruger semi-auto pistol was approx. $79 in the 1970's
My Rem 760 pump 30-06 was $100 in 1970 used.

Your 760 cost you over $600 in today's money. That wasn't a very good deal.

I looked up Herters Catalog on eBay...

Missile Cone Shotgun shells, blown patterns impossible!!

I think I payed to much for this thing.

I am sorry you got ripped off, I will make it better by giving you your $300 back for the gun

I thought this was going to be a post, circa 1972, about getting excited watching Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

I picked up a Poly Tech AK S 47 for $380 in 88, for my 18th bday present to myself. Still have it.

I remember going to Kmart in the early 1980s, on waterman and baseline in San Bernardino. Bought the floor model Remington 12 gauge autoloader foe $150 bucks. No box, just carried it right out the front door.

I remember Big 5 use to have racks right on the sales floor of surplus rifles. They always had German G-98's for cheap. When I was a kid I would scoff at them because I couldn't understand why someone would want the gun the Nazi's used.

I feel a little younger now. I was only 6 in 1959 - too young to know I was a gun nut. I just remembered an old "The Fugitive" episode - one of my favorites. A group of kids around 7 or 8 years old (including a young Kurt Russell) pooled all their candy change & ordered a military rifle from a catalog - it was around $6.00. It arrived in a wooden crate.

Ah, yes. Great show. Looks like my memory was off on the price. Thanks for posting that.

Oh yeah, National Gun Sales, Northridge Int, Another shop I can't remember. Also a shooting range and a gunsmith all on the same block a few doors from each other.

Don't forget Sherwoods, also on Parthenia, just a few blocks down....

I would buy 15 1911's and 100 hitler knives
