Almost a blast from the past.

Anybody here willing to sell me a Variant 1 USP NIB for $599? Fyi, while you reminisce I don't want to read any crap later about ice cream scoops for a nickel either.

Do you mean like........
When these were really cheap and you could buy them by the crate?




Not to mention the price on these.

i dont remember what i paid for my USP45 in like 2001... but i know you cant get em for whatever it was now. i THINK i paid like $850ish... and sold it about a year later to a sketchy russian kid for like $600 once i realized glock was my jam. hey... he had a valid oregon DL and was 21.. or at least it said he was 21.

 

[ma96782]

I remember......
Before I-1639 these were a deal. Whenever I had a few extra dollars I bought them. Of course nowadays......with the extra B.S. involved. I ain't buying.

The days these were $120 were the day!

 

[Nosferatu]

I remember the days when you could buy a box of .30-06 at a local store without having to take out a second loan on the house.

i also remember buying cases of Wolf for like $90 about that time... back when gun shows were still dope

Fine, I'll pull out the old Sears catalog along with some ancient issues of Shotgun News.

$199 up until about 3 months into the covid lock down. Now everybody thinks a birch 10-22 with a polymer trigger housing is worth $600

By chance was his name Mc Lovin?

Haaaahh.. shotgun news. Where you could mail order a DIAS for $50 and surely not get a visit from the ATF.

I remember 3 Bears. Went in there often. Bought a rifle but that's all I remember. They did have a large selection.

 

[40Garand]

When did the store close?

 

[Ginocide]

It's a shame we no longer bring "weapons of war" (surplus ammo and guns and gear) to the US for commercial sale. Apparently we just give them directly to the Taliban now.

It'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

Was it owned by three large hairy gay dudes?

It was on 82nd at the strip mall where WINCO is. It's been awhile and I'd be guessing.

California Gay Bears can help you line up a nice wardrobe and a few of them can actually throw down. However the jury is still out on wether they could run a gun shop or not.

No gun shops, just Harley dealerships.
