How about the M1 price ? Those were the days ! Was just reading about Lee Harvey and Kennedy and this is the add where he purchased the Carcano rifle

 

[stage20]

I'd buy 20 or 30 at those prices. Maybe more.

Not when you explained your profit margin

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Yeah, but that was in "real money" not our modern fancy toilet paper.

Gas was like maybe 5 cent a gallon

 

[Raven]

And a brand new mustang was only $5k

 

[Southalabama]

The question is what we should be buying now.

Heritage and ruger wranglers

Sub $200 pistols can’t last.

Actually a new 1965 Mustang was about half that but wages were also much lower so it evens out.
I worked after school for several years for $1.65 an hour.
The cheapest I remember gas being was around 20 cents a gallon.
I remember seeing cardboard 55 gallon drums full of milsurp rifles at W.T. Grants department store for $13 each.

Back then - I walked 5 miles to school, in the snow, up hill (both ways!), and I got paid a dime a week for 20 hours of work, and that got me 10 penny candies, that I sold for 2 cents at school.

5 miles? You must’ve lived in town.

Might suprise you. I've shot mine for years without a hitch. Another thing the cheap ones are also very simple. Aka colt peacemaker. The only picking point is the crap cast frame. I think the ruger and the heritage share the same type.

Dang, I got born too late. When I was finally old enough to buy a rifle, Mosins were $400 each.....

 

[MauserLarry]

I have some Mausers I have had for 50 years. If you set down and look at what I made there and what I paid then versus what I make and pay for one now the percentage works out about the same.

 

[Jester896]

the good days...smokes were $.25...gas was $.17. I have the Bill of Sale where my dad purchased the '70 Ford Maverick new I used to drive for $2,106.00 out the door.

I am not “old” (40) and I remember $95 mosins.

Full retail

 

[Raven]

And if you mail ordered 10 you could get them for $50 each

It was the Post Wars and a gov not unfriendly to firearms that allowed the U.S. and foreign milsurp. Those prices converted to todays dollars buying power verses then would show most of the difference I think.

In 70 years, people may look at today's prices and and say the same things or worst case "they could own guns?". Slightly over a year ago you could buy a complete upper and lower an have an AR for $399, others at $450. I said buy cheap stack deep on them and sub $10 Magpul mags too.
