    Default Remember when?

    I haven't been in the ar world for 2 years yet but I bought this pre panic on the shelves with no CO background tax.

    With a little more you could have had a full AR-15 if you go even further back in time.

    Or maybe a bunch of M1 Cabines

    or even a bunch of ammo

    I remember my first SKS set me back $59. I mostly bought it because ammo was really cheap. I think a thousand round case of the old steel core stuff was about $100. It was such a cheap, fun rifle to shoot it made me buy an AK. I think I paid about $189 for it brand new in the box. Maybe less. Of course I also remember buying leaded gas at the pump for under sixty cents a gallon.

    Those Chainsaw Noveskes now go for around 300 bucks…

    Heck with regard to the other items. I never thought I'd see ARs for under 600 bucks again after the last "panic".. Great to see they are once again available. Although I don't see anymore of those 300 buck WASR AKs...

    These were prices even when Clinton was in office!
    I don't ever remember seeing a complete AR for under $500... $500 and over, yes

    Vendors at every gunshow
    SKS $50
    AK's $150- Mags $2
    M1 Carbines $99
    Mosin Nagant $25
    M1 Garand $150
    Sten Guns $50
    Europen Mausers $50
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Met a guy today that bought a couple m16s for $1200 each back in the day and had 20+ HK autosears from his business and when he moved states he had to sell them to avoid all the taxes so he sold them to a buddy for $600 a piece.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    They called the magazines "clips" back in those ancient times.
