Watching them Babies

A good source told me that PW Arms has or soon will have M1 Carbines for sale they imported. Note: PW Arms is a wholesaler so no direct sales, keep your eye on your favorite retail seller.

No, has to be two or three grand each in a world were a 91/30 refurb is bringing 600 or more. Or a box of shotshells brings two hundred.

Ain't that the truth. Not too long ago I was at my favorite gun store here in our town and they had some 91/30s priced for +$400. I understand supply and demand, and that these are surplus rifles so naturally prices will increase, but the way 91/30s increased, I did not see that coming as quickly as it did. I wish I kept the ones I had instead of trading them off years ago. I have two 91/30s now and I don't see myself purchasing anymore with the current price on them.

I bought my first hi-power, a Rem. 760 carbine 30-06 for $75, about 50 yrs. ago. M-1 carbines and 03'A3 were in every town for about the same money or less. Gun prices have risen steadily ever since, never dropped.

Even with a fifty year inflation the prices were still not bad, gas and Big Mac's under a buck, even under half a buck. I recall my grandfather turning the air blue when gas hit .59 a gallon during the '73 oil embargo.

Yes, and with time they will continue to increase more and more. It will be interesting to see where prices will be 10-15 years from now.
