The good ol' days

[hotrodtba]

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

I remember when I first got into guns, and got my first AK47. Went to the next Ft. Wayne gun show, back when it was good, and bought a case for $79. They were willing to deal on multiple cases too.

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

I remember buying it for $10.96, and they had multiple cases of it in the back too.

I bought my AK-47 at the South Bend Gun & Knife Show many years ago for $197.95 and they had a table full for that price.

Just found one more...receipt for a P-32 and a box of .32ACP. The ammo was $4.95 for a box of 20 JHPs. Date on the receipt is 2003.

Sigh.

I remember the real surplus 7.62 that came in a wooden crate w/2 metal spam cans. 1400 rounds for about $100.

I honestly wish I could have been around for the good 'ole days. I feel jipped! And not because of ammo prices...but everything else too.

I wish I was buying guns pre-68 for the $1500 full autos

Look at it this way...in the future you will look back and tell other folks that THESE were the "good 'ol days."
