Yep, Thompson's started at about $250-$300. Today, they start at about 25K for a WW2 savage, a BAR around >$40++, MP5, about 50K.
A rare Monitor??

I'm pretty sure they also could buy explosives.
TNT right from the local hardware store. When I was growing up, the HW store whrre my dad shopped used TNT crates for their plumbing supplies.
Just.....I still have an issue thinking 100 years ago was 1923. Hell I have a 1986 car and it being an antique is still hard for me....I looked at those new.
What people forget is that was a metric shit ton of money back then. Today the only reason they are expensive is the limited supply. And because of that you know why that law will never be reversed. Imagine the losses in a collection if a stroke of a pen would make it ok to make new machine guns again.
So what part of that falls in "shall not be infringed" ? Just because somebody has tons of money invested that's perfectly reasonable to infringe on the Constitution? That's some Fudd thinking. You would fit in great with Wayne Lapierre and the rest of the gun control fools.
Former TV commercial actors and actress, line up for unemployment benefits.
You misunderstand. My comment was two fold. First that $300 sounds like nothing today, and it is nothing, but in the 20's that was a great deal of money, very expensive that not many could afford.
The second was a comment on why I think it will never be changed. There is too much money to be lost if they ever reverse the 86 bullshit.
I agree with you, If I want to sit in my back yard and shoot a 155mm I should be able to as long as I don't screw anyone else up.
Are you guys familiar with the name Joe Montana? Aside from him trying to kill my wife another tidbit is he collects disability from the state of CA.
He was injured on the job you see, and the benefits relate to how much money you made, so he is getting a six figure check from the state for getting hurt while playing fooseball.
Your .gov at work.
I remember my dad buying dynamite, non-electric caps and fuze from the local hardware store.
Me too! I look at when I bought a firearm and I can't believe how long ago it actual was. I can't believe my baby is 27 either.
Joe Montana tried to kill your wife?
Man, I thought he was better than OJ in every category. Guess he doesn’t measure up on the beheading and slashing stats.
Sirhr
So a $300 Thomson in 1923 was $300 according to the US inflation calculator that would now be $5,248 in todays dollars so yeah pricey but count me in
In 1984 factory brand new in the box colt M-16s sold f for $486

I mean, you know it's gonna be fun as hell for a little bit. Just be sure to lock up all the guns, knives, bats, lamps, heavy books, dishes, glasses, bottles, pots, pans, small appliances, etc... cause you know that crazy is coming out at some point.Is this still available? Asking for everyone.

Just from what I can see....I'm certainly intrigued.Is this still available? Asking for everyone.
