Growing up in the 50's we paid 25 cents for a box of shorts and 35 for longs. Never had the 50 cents for long rifle.
We bought our ammunition from Ace Auto, but every gas station had 22 ammo and some small mom and pop grocery stores did too.
My father had an Ithaca sxs, but all the rest of us had single shots. 22's or those H&R Topper shotguns.
