Geez back in the day I worked for Kmart Sporting goods, sold hundreds of them for $37
I can remember our local Gibson’s Discount Center, and TG&Y selling them for $49 bucks when I was in jr high. I think the Remington Nylon 66 was $59. And the Marlin 39 was like $109. And, of course, ammo for $5 a brick.
I use to mow our famed local Conn Man & LBJ Crony Bill Sol Estes’ yard back then. He’d pay me with a nice crisp fresh $100 bill. So I was n.igger rich when I’d ride my bike to Gibson’s or TG&Y to buy a gun and some Ammo. 😬
Of course, I’d have to get Mom to fill out the paper work and take the gun home.
We didn’t get a K-Mart until I was a sophomore in HS. I remember they had a decent Fishing Dept. I never payed much attention to their Guns they stocked.
