Yup.....Me too.

Yeah, prices from then seem cheap. But not so much back then.

I got my Python brand new from B&B Sales in the 70's for about $350.00. That was alot of money back then.

I remember seeing incredibly cheap aks, sks, Grendel the precursor to Kel-Tec, and other imported firearms of all types and calibers, police revolver trade-ins, and so much more in the old Shotgun News and a second firearms trade magazine that I can't remember the name of.

I wasn't around back then. My earliest gun pricing memory was seeing $80 mosins at Big 5 about 10 years ago. Prices have nearly tripled for a rack mosin at this point.

South African 7.62x51 battlepacks were 27.99, 30 carbines were 50.00 which is all I would pay for one of now. And so much more.

..buying my first rifle. A Colt SP1 with 3x optic for $189 at and I was too young to buy ammo for it based upon bizarre CA laws, even back then. My dad had to buy the ammo for me. I even pawned it once for a few hundred dollars during tough times as a young 20 something. Luckily, I redeemed it. Still have the rifle.

..buying Big 5 Mosins for $75 of which several were 1943 M44. Still have those as well.

..riding my bike as a kid in Malibu with my .22 rifle slung over my shoulder in my little business of shooting gophers & other varmints for neighborhood farmers. The local sheriff saw me once and asked how much I charged.

$20-30/k primer bricks up until Oct 2020… super fast and steep cost increase to $90-100/k

Barrels full of Milsurp M1 Carbines at Army surplus stores in LA in the 50s

[Oceanbob]

I remember when. Surplus P-51 mustang was $10,000.

[Dutch3]

Surplus Enfields at Woolworths in the late 1980s for $49.99.

Mother in law worked there, could have leveraged the 'employee discount'.

Father in law talked me out of buying one, said, 'you'll never find ammo for that thing'.

I remember last year some cities in Indiana auctioned off to citizens, firearms they took from criminals !

I sure miss those days. They always had 10-20 bricks sitting up by the register in case you forgot. Kind of like gum, bic lighters and candy.
