    Default Gun Ads 1955

    https://archive.org/details/ArgosyV3...95510/mode/2up

    I was reading the October 1956 issue of Argosy Magazine.

    Elmer Keith has an article about hunting but I was more intrigued buy the ads.

    I'd love to get a new Marlin 336 in .35 Remington for less than $70!

    That magazine didn't happen to have any ammunition ads did it?

    I'd like to find an old rifle ammo ad for a project I plan to work on.

    I don?t think I have them anymore but I had a small stack of Shotgun News from the late 80?s and early 90?s that were always fun to browse through.

    While things like the Marlins and Rugers above might have been a little pricier than they were in the 50?s, there were tons of surplus and Cold War imports really cheap.
