Just browsed thru that magazine. Man, the things that are in there to buy. And those Hodgdon powder prices! $99.75 for 150lb drum of 4831!!
Egads! Thanks for putting that up. Great stuff.


Yes, great for putting that up, except it makes me sad that I didn't (or wasn't' able to) take advantage of these prices at the time! I remember as a teenager going into Interarms (foot of Prince Street, Alexandria, VA) and seeing $39 M-1 Garands, $69 Johnsons, $9-19 Mausers, $19 Lee-Enfields, etc. Makes me want to cry now!
