Another Gem

I was rearranging my ammo and found an old sales flyer behind some boxes. It is an old Century Arms International flyer that dates to 1992 or 1993. It was sent to an address I only lived at for those two years. The 24 pages are yellowed and there is no e-mail address or website information listed anywhere in the flyer...it's that old.

It was a stroll down amnesia lane, though. I was found myself wishing I had the forethought then to buy a few of everything in the flyer, as they are either no longer available or outrageously priced these days.

For example:
--Enfield No4 Mk2 in excellent condition for $140.
--Brand new Russian Makarov, with 2 mags and the holster....$130.
--East German Maks.. $170
--S&W Model 10's...$99.99
--Webley and Scott Mk IV revolvers in 38 S&W...$90.
--Enfield No2 Mark1 pistols... $80
--Brazilian Mausers in 7 mm Mauser...$100
--Swedish Mauser, M96 and M38... $80 and $100 each...
--Ishapore Enfields in 7.62x51mm (2A).. $90
--Persian Mausers...$60
--Finnish M39 Sniper rifles WITH brand new scopes and mounts... $200
--Just the M39 rifles..$75

Hell.. ammo prices were a dream, too...
--Chinese 7.62x25.. $6 per 70 rd boxes
--9mm Largo.. $3.72 per 25 rd box
--5.56x45, Malaysian made...$3. per box of 20
--7.62x39, Romanian made, $2.52 per box
--308 Win, Argentinian made, $3.06 per 20 rd box (Taiwan made @2.49 or stripper clips)

Ahh.. the good old days... If I would have invested $2500 on rifles, I would probably have that collection pushing $25000 in value today.
