Thread: Price of firearms then and now?

Found a old tatty receipt in garage and wondered if I could if $26.00 was a good price for a fully wooded 303 in 1969. $10.00 deposit seems nothing now but was a good chunk of an apprentices wages. Although guns and ammunition seem cheap today I think we do not appreciate how much is available and talk of shortages as if they are a new thing. Everybody stocked up and if in stock snapped it up like everyday was Christmas.If CAC made it importers could not import the equivalent foreign product with out paying a healthy tariff
