Hmmm no not really. $30 dollars was quite a bit of money back then. $250 in today's money.

Inflation brings that up to around $324
How much do they go for currently?
600ish?

So basically as much as a 10/22

GCA 68 certainly did a number on Sears

used to have a old magazine from this era with an article about the pederson device from ww1 and i thought that shit was amazing when i was a kid

There’s the genesis of gun show “I know what I’ve got!”

The median income nationwide in 1963 was $6,249.
Averaged out, that's 52 paychecks of $120.17.
So those $30 Mausers would take a quarter of one of your paychecks.
With inflation, that Mauser would be about $250 in 2018 dollars.

Median household income in 2017 was $61,372.
Which means 52 paychecks of $1,180.23.
So it would still take about a quarter of a paycheck to buy a $250 rifle.

It's all the same, man. The numbers are just bigger.

>M44's used to be $200 pre 2014
>Are now $400 or more
>Yugo Mausers used to be $250
>Now people want $350 or more
Milsurp prices only skyrocketed a few years ago. They haven't been constantly going up when you take inflation into account.

right, the prices have been going up higher than inflation. due to a combination of demand exceeding supply and "i know whut i got" boomers owning most of the supply.

I was just illustrating that your buying power would be roughly the same.

Less than a dollar a hour wages were actually a thing in 1960. That $30 rifle is a fuck ton of change when you have necessities to cover

Not that much of an increase for 60 years of waiting

milsurps got dumb expensive back in like 2012 when there was a big gun control scare so guys just grabbed anything or anything that shot bullets including boomers who hoarded milsurps that have only slowly started bleeding back into the market hence the high price tags

can you scan all of them and upload to archive.org or something? thanks

I have a copy of that in the mail, when it arrives I will scan it and upload to archive.org

Only because it's gone now. I got my 1942 Russian capture for $99 OTD in 2007.

Whats the story on "NRA Good"?

I don’t have a scanner and have 120 mags spanning 1960 to 71

Go to a public library or somewhere with a scanner, put in some effort to preserve firearm history and to let other people enjoy these works!

That's like 250 after inflation and without even considering availability, senpai. It aint great these days but it's definitely not as bad as many people make it out to be.

I think its a higher quality and the NRA put there name on it so you know you got the best of the stock
That would take hours and i think you over estimate how many people would actually care
Congrats on being the 8th person to say this. We get it holly hell.

It's part of a firearm condition rating standard the NRA has. Good means used, but not worn out.

send me the mags then and I'll do it myself B)

What will happen to those milsurps when the boomers are forced to downsize and can't sell them at their ludicrously inflated prices?

Nothing. They know what they got, so they'll keep them. Then their kids will inherit them, and sell them for $100, at a gun buyback.

Boomers price gouge everything they sell, not just guns. My grandma's neighbor was your stereotypical childless boomer and he wanted $250,000 for his house in a less than ideal neighborhood. Also he was really anal about his lawn. This mentality isn't sustainable when the later generations are poorer.

$500 is not a “ludicrously inflated price” for a 75-year-old functioning piece of military history. In fact, it’s ludicrously low. I expect that within ten years it will be very hard to find any un-bubba’d milsurp gun in halfway decent condition under $1000.

>"$500 is cheap for an antiquated tool"
>you can buy far better modern tools, new, for the same amount

...

What backwater shithole do you live in where $250k is a lot for a house?

Used gun prices wouldn't be high if people weren't willing to pay it. Don't expect it to change any time soon.

The whole idea of saving something old because of its historical value only started in about the late 1960's.

>Steam engines are inferior to the new diesel/electric locomotives so lets cut up all of the steam engines for scrap.
>These old cars from the 1910's-1950's are worn out, rusted out and burning oil. Might as well crush them and recycle the metal.
>These old buildings are taking up valuable real estate which could be used for shopping malls or modern high rise apartments. Let's bulldoze them.
>These old bolt action rifles with their 5 round fixed internal magazines are outdated. Let's surplus them off to the highest bidder to make room for the new rifles.

The only reason we mourn the loss of the old is because we looked at the "new" and saw that it wasn't necessarily better.
