I remember seeing m1 garrands on sale at Gander mountain for $150 each about 15 years ago. They also had m1 carbines for $250. Those rifles sat on the used racks for months! I sure wish Id have had the $$ (poor college student) to purchase the whole lot of them back then! You could probably buy a really nice truck with what you could sell them for now!I remember those days when the Sears & Roebuck catalog had tons of old military rifles listed for $50 dollars or so. Wow. Those were the good old days. I was too young to buy but old enough to dream!
What cartridge made you take the plunge into reloading?
Damn, Moonpie, you must be old!
You have dirt? We only have rocks up here on the top of the hill. Rocks are older than dirt!Dirt calls me grampa.

I remember seeing M-1 Carbines for sale at the downtown Houston Woolworth's store.
For $179.00!
Then I must be old, too, because I remember the same thing. I most poignantly remember when they went out of business and the last of those guns were tossed in a barrel and sold for half-price. I'm told they had to put a rope around the area and assign an employee to stand over the barrel and allow just one customer at a time to inspect the contents and make their selection. I don't know this for sure; the guy who told me about it waited until lunch and by the time I got there all the rifles were gone.Damn, Moonpie, you must be old!
