I always adored the art in all those old catalogs. Almost like a comic book at times for gun nuts.

>You were born too late for the real era of cheap milsurp

Sad to think that x51 used to be so cheap but now I barely shoot my PTR because loading a mag is like 3x the cost of the mag itself.

I had a whole folder of old Iver Johnson ads. i regret not saving them to a flashdrive.

I think Iver Johnson had a patent on the design, which is still used today since the patent expired. So they were the ones who could brag about having that safety, it was the one thing that distinguished Iver Johnsons from other revolvers besides their reasonable price.

This stuff was always expensive. it's just inflation.

5 bucks is a months wage.

>>31319094
5 bucks was like $250 would be today i think, but still that's not too bad of a price for a revolver when Colts were what like $15? But yeah people always go "woooow stuff was so cheap back then", it wasn't really the case a lot of the time when adjustin for inflation, except for some milsurp.

IIRC in 1905 average wage was 22 cents an hour and the yearly annual was between 200 and 400.

But keep in mind the cost of daily living.
Eggs alone could cost like 15 cents a dozen.

I like looking at the holiday catalog for Vermont Country Store.

I'm curious as to why .32 S&w was around for as long as it was.

>>31319900
Just sign up for the sports Store catalog, I get a couple from Pennsylvania because the last resident was a fudd.
