Remember when?

[BPTactical]

Remember when the site was down? I do. It was terrible.

LOL


I bought my first AK at "The Gun Room" when it was right across the street from "Wedgles Music and Pawn" on Broadway.
Norinco Type 56 with the spike bayonet and 3 30 round mags, sling new in box for $180.00 out the door.
My buddies thought I was nuts when I snagged 4 PolyTech Legends for $379.00 each. They really thought I lost it when I dropped $799.00 for a HK 91...

I remember Marlin .22 auto loaders for $60 w/ scope. My first SKS was $69 + tax and a 750 round tin of copper washed steel core was $34 (I still have one tin left for "emergency" use. I paid $185 for my M1 and my 686 was $330. I bought my wife a Ruger MKII Target with 500 rounds, a soft cash and Deluxe wood cased cleaning kit for $155 OTD. My Super Blackhawk was $232 OTD 37 years ago and I paid $750 for a brand new 1973 CR250M Elsinore, $375 for a new 1973 Yamaha 175cc CT3 Enduro.

Now I feel old. I'm going to bed now. Good night all and may God Bless.

Yep. First AK was an FEG brand new with 5 mags and a Kobra red dot. $175 out the door.

Of course we used to build Fal's all day long for $300 and Cetme's were $299 at AIM.

$59 SKS's
$120 Makarov's
$80 CZ 52's

And on and on. Oh, 1000 rds of .223 was $100 for brass cased and .308 surplus was $129 per K, pick your flavor.

Remember back in 2014 when you could readily buy all that fun gun stuff? -never discount the possibility that we are currently living in the 'good old days' relative to what things might be like down the road.

There is so much truth in this post that it's scary. When I first got into the ar realm a couple years ago I could get 1000 rounds of 5.56 for $310 shipped. Man I shoulda bought more. In 5 years am I gonna say, back in '14 I could get 1000/556 for $350 shipped....

M-44's and 91/30's for $89
Sks's for $150

A box of .22 shorts for .25 cents, Long Rifle .30 cents. Gas was .20 cents a gallon and the service station attendant would not only fuel up the car but would check the pressure in all four tires, wash the windshield and dry it off with a chamois. That was back a ways though.

Geez. I bet you remember when bread was ten cents a loaf too.

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.

So how is Captain W. these days? Haven't talked to him in many months!

It's a small company...
