              You assumed I purchased them at that price.

                I have a couple of boxes of .223 with $3.99 price tags that I keep rounds in, just to see the reactions I get from my younger friends.

                  GEMCO was the bomb!


                  Shop 1st then eat before your leave the store!

                  Almost as good as the K-Mart cafeteria.

                    I grew up with a 1000 case of PMC in the garage.

                    The price tag was $85.00

                    Its still there, kills me a little every time I go to my folks place and see it...
                    Once more into the fray,
                    Into the last good fight I'll ever know,

                      Well no ****, the price tags are still on them and you didn't tell us how much you paid...

                        I wish I would have started stocking up back then.

                              Yep and $4.99 for 38 sp. reloads @ my local gun store back when...

                              Those were some good times, could buy anything.
