[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2895588, member: 9299"] The summer I was 17, I was lucking enough to acquire a 40 hr/wk state sponsored job with our local high school at the then minimum wage. Much better pay than farm work. That summer break I and a friend cruised the country dirt roads, bridges, dumps, etc and shot 22's almost every weekend. Earlier, I had purchased a Remington 572 pump, and by the end of the summer break, I counted the empty cardboard 500rd "brick" boxes I had opened and flattened out and kept in my bedroom. I had acquired 21 for approximately 10,500 rds shot that summer. Mostly, 22LR's but a couple were shorts for their added capacity in the 572's tube. If memory serves, I think we purchased those bricks at about $6 each from a nearby Gibson's store, and that summer was one of my most memorable for its shooting, having a little money, eating large homemade burgers from the local dairy bar that were $1.50 for the plate of home fries, dressed burger and a Coke, and having much fun with a good friend.
