The good ol' days

[goColt]

I was cleaning out my basement where I store some of my shooting gear and came across an empty old, and I mean OLD Blazer 9mm box...


It had a price tag on it...



$5.00!!



That's enough to bring a tear to your eye.

I found some 7.62x39 from Dunhams, Wolfe that I paid 2/$4.........guess they were the good old days....

i just reloaded my last primers i bought during the clinton gun ban scare. 16.00 per 1000. thought i bought plenty at the time.

I remember 2-3 years ago thinking $150 for 1,000rds of xm193 or Australian .308 was a lot.

 

[Josh Ward]

I've got some .45ACP with 8.99 price tags......makes me want to puke when I look at ammo in the store today. Don't get me started on primers...I bought 4000 today at $38/1000 and felt lucky I was even able to find any...

Last weekend I broke into my last brick of 22LR Wolf Match Target.....price tag $17.99.

 

[boman]

How about $99 a case for Wolf 7.62X39 at the Indy 1500---still have an unopened case

On a trade deal I got a box of 38 s&w, $5.25 original price tag. Won't see that price again

 

[singlesix]

Yeah I have the same feeling every time I pump gas.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I remember paying 89 cents a pack for smokes and thought that was expensive.....

 

[jpo117]

Man, I got excited because I found 100 rounds of WWB 9mm at Walmart for $22 the other day...

 

[Shoots4Fun]

I can remember mostly putting tons of hollow point through my pistol because the cost for the cheap JHP wasn't much different from the FMJ...

 

[win87]

I remember coffee 5 cents a cup. Refills free.

When I was in college, in Oklahoma, gas was around 25 cents/gal. and for that, they would pump it for you, clean your windshield and offer a piece of tableware for every fill-up. I collected place settings for 12 with all the serving pieces in one year just before getting married. Good quality stuff too. We used it every day for over 20 years.
Sometimes gas stations would get in a price war. then the price would get down to about $.15/gal.
Bought a new Ruger Blackhawk, 45 Colt, 7 1/2" for just underr $100 out the door. Wish I still had that old 3 screw.
That was the late '60s. The good old days.

Indy 1500 had some Russian 9mm (non corrosive) for 10$ a box of 50 115Gr FMJ 9mm, it was a pretty good deal those days

 

[HandK]

I found a full box of 20 rounds Winchester 223 with a price tag of $3.99 Ahh the good old days!
When my Uncle passed my Aunt gave me a full box of Western auto 12 gage #6 shot with a price tag of $1.68.

You can still get it for $9.99 a box, or even cheaper if you get 1000rds at a time.

 

[Woodsman]

Big Red for 10 cents a bottle and not caring how much ammo you shot in an afternoon!

 

[HandK]

5 cents for a Baby Ruth and it was as big as a King Size now days! 35 cents to see a Movie at the theater.
