$60 M1 Garand

[Bugzilla]

Finally found an M1 I can afford!

I hear you. I'd love to have a garand, but I'm not paying the kind of moolah that they are getting.

 

[BigRed]

Perfect for conceal carry?

 

[BFG]

Looks like an SBR arrest waiting to happen.

 

[bgcatty]

Maybe that’s one of those new reduced prices on guns we’ve been hearing about elsewhere on INGO! Right?

That is what the old timers said when you could buy one for $200

Old timers? My ex and I bought ours through the DCM with luck of the draw for $120.00 each.
My grandfather laughed and said he bought his through the NRA when it was in DC for $65.00.

I purchased 400 of them in 1995 for $125 each, and 800 M1 carbines for $90 each

An obvious example of "shrink-flation". Prices go up, items get smaller.

Curious as to the story behind this. That was a chunk of change back then.

“Back then?” That’s $122,000, which is a helluva lot of money in today’s economy even!

Well maybe in YOUR circle.

I'd love to debate this further but the downstairs maid just called and said the yacht is waiting for us outside. We're heading to Monaco later for lunch, perhaps we'll see you there?

I got a loan for a new store, and I didn’t purchase them all at once. Half of them came about six months later. I set up at the Indy 1500 with tables full of Carbines “Your Choice $125”. Of course I kept back the Irwin Peterson’s, Winchesters, un-quality, and line outs. I also would have a table of Garands “Your Choice $179.95”, but again, I kept back the early serial numbers, the Winchesters, and the IHC’s for higher priced sales. Between the 1500 and my store, I sold out of the rifles in about two years. I sure wish I had them all back, sitting in a warehouse. At about the same time, I purchased 400 WWII German Mauser 98K’s from Century arms for $50 each. They were unsearched, and I got five SS marked rifles, 20 ZF41 sniper rifles, an SS long turret sniper rifle, and dozens of rare variants. Those sure were the days

Does anyone have one of the Goatgun models? How’s the quality. They look interesting.
