Minimum wage was $2.35/hr back then, and $440 was a veritable fortune at that time!

Yes it was, but I managed to get 5 Mini-14's and an AR15, and eventually an M1A ... my own personal arms race I guess... Thankfully Ive never needed them for anything but personal enjoyment and pride of ownership!.

$1100 or so today. Hey, it's not an FAL. Those were too pricey.

They didn't make it out of the '80s with that pricetag.

Thank you George H.W. Bush for the subsequent (AW ban) high price. Fortunately I bought it during the Reagan years.

Late 80's they were going for over $900- $1k

Do you need a paper towel? cause your are dreaming. A real HK91 now days goes for over 2K and higher. The value of real HK stuff has gone through the roof

Better brush up on your history. Bush never had an AWB. Thank Billy boy Clinton. It was on his watch.

HK91 are going for more than a G1 FAL. The only FAL that out prices all others. Is one of twelve hundred to make it to this country. That would be a True FN FAL "G" series. Thney are going for over 12K today. Back in the 90s I had one and paid 3K for then.

I think he meant that $440 adjusted for inflation would be $1100 today, not that a genuine HK91 could be bought for $1100 today. They seem to get snatched up at 3k these days.

??? No tears here. Actually, the first one I bought was less than $350, but that was in the late 70s. Rather, I have known quite well since the various weapon bans that HKs were going through the roof. But FN FALs, good as they are, were never as accruate as the 91s and cost much more.
