Ancient Component Prices

[Muddyboots]

So some have posted up some crazy prices from yesteryear. I think it would really cool to see some prices that would be ridiculous in todays pricing.

So lets see some of those prices that make us cry today!

Ok this isn't that old but still a price we would go crazy over.

I can't compare on components but back in the early 2000s living in Northern California I shot gobs of ducks and geese in rice. I'd go through 2-4 cases of 3" #1,2, or 3 a year by myself. One day in April or something close I wandered into Walmart. They had all of their waterfowl shells on crazy close out deals. Black cloud for 7-8 bucks a box, Winchester and federal 3" stuff for 5 bucks a box. I bought it all. It took 2.5 shopping carts and filled most of the bed in my f250. I can't remember what I spent but I think it was in 700 dollar range. The looks as I walked up to the register with 2.5 shipping carts full of ammo. LOL! I Shot on that ammo for almost 4 years.

Sierra .303's were $5.35. Shooters Choice $5.00. Barnes CR-10 $8.99

It is not that prices have gone up, the value of the dollar has dramatically gone down.

Found these on my shelves. I've used up a lot of stuff,but I rember primers for $1.00 per hundred,but if you bought a brick they were $8.75.

I had a similar experience as a young kid when they stopped using paper cartridges and went mostly to plastic my father knew the sporting-goods manager at our local Kmart and we got boxes of paper shells for nearly nothing we shot those for many years
