Interesting. When I lived in Scottsdale we a FA shop there, that was almost all they carried, other than a few semi's they took in trade. I used to go to down and got to know them fairly well. What I noticed over on the machineguncentral.com was prices are about the same as they were then. I remember the prices of the M16's, M60's and Thompsons.
When I graduated and got my commission as a 2nd LT my Supply Sgt, Sgt Donald Ford, who seemed to ALWAYS have a almost smoked cigar in his mouth. Sgt Ford was old school, uneducated country boy who came into the Army or go to jail soldier and back then there was still more than a few of these guys around.
He presents me with a M 16 A1, FA. Of course I asked were did you get this, he just said Sir, don't ask questions, it clean and has been written off the Army books...nonetheless, I left it in the supply when I left the duty station.
