AzRednek Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 If I only had a time machine and 500 bucks. The pictures are from a 1967 Rifleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric123 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 The price of the Tasco's sure haven't changed much, but then again a dollar was actually worth 100 cents back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasco and most other scopes have changed. Price a metal tube and real glass, not plastic lens scope today to get a comparison. I'm guessing but I imagine with inflation the 1967 prices would be apx 4 fold of today's dollor. Never the less a NRA excellent M-1 for 129 and a brand new FN Mauser for a 108 are hard to beat. When I think back in hindsight, being 16 when this ad appeared and the money I blew back then chasing pussy and on my 57 Chevy. Sure wish I had put a little aside and bought a few Mausers before mail order was banned in 1968. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron J Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah...and having that '57 back wouldn't be bad either. Or an hour or two with some of that...well you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 77 bucks back then was harder to find than $ 700 now. : ) The Turks and Mosins of today are even cheaper if you factor in today's real value against that of 67. Thanks AZ. I enjoy reading those old adds. : ) karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I was seven in 67 seven and all I wanted was a G.I. Joe and a new bike! Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny I can't believe what some vintage GI Joe stuff gets on Ebay. If by chance you have anything it may be worth some bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was about '72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Creek 1 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I can remember when a coke was a nickle and so was four big cinnamon rolls in a pack. We also could get a sandwich on french with choice of meats for 15 cents . That was back in the 40's . Boy am I getting old. In the 60's I bought an O3-A3 unissued in cosmoline for $35.00. Wish I still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I think cokes were a nickle when I was in grade school, but by the time I got to vocational school in 1962, they were 6 cents. But the trade school I was in had a grinder, and the vending machines were not very sophiscated. We could take a penny and grind it down to the size of a dime, put it into the machine and get a coke and 4 cents in change. Well, you can guess where the four pennies went, back into the machine again as dimes. This little scheme worked until the school narrowed down the shops that had grinders. Let me see, in 1957 I was 14 years old and yearning for a car of my own. My parents didn't like me using their '55 Chevy, although my dad did let me use the '49 Chevy truck to fix fences, etc. Finally in 1959, I got my driver's license and my dad bought me a '52 Ford hot-rod. Oh, the memories that old car brings back. Some good, some bad. How times have changed, but I did get a few of those bargains on guns back in 1967. The problem was that I didn't have enough money to get as many as I can get today. I noticed in the 1967 ad that there were no Chilean 1895 long rifles listed. I must have gotten the last of them in 1966, unissued, for around 20 bucks. How times have changed. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
