We've watched the supplies dry up and the prices correspondingly increase on various C&R guns.
So what were some of your best prices back in the day on some of your C&R guns? You can even adjust them for inflation if you want to figure out what it would have cost today.
I'll go first. I got in the C&R game late around 2003. There were still good deals out there, but I didn't know much about them and I was strapped for cash.
But I did have the sense to pick a few things up, like $150 unissued SKS in 2004 from Aimsurplus; $150 K31 from Samco Global; $100 Turkish mauser (FTF no C&R) at a gun show in 2009; $80 .303 bubba'd Lee Enfield (ftf no C&R) at a gunshow in 2010. Bought my first Mosin Nagant (an M38) from a friend who was cleaning out his collection for $50 in 2007. I didn't really know much about them but that started the love affair!
