If that AR ad is from say 1972 it would be $1600 in today's money. That scope and ammunition would be exorbitantly expensive compared to what is available nowadays.
thats whats funny, consoooomer products are getting cheaper and better over time, easy to get morons to pine for something they didnt experience i guess
alternatively however most of the rifles on OP's image besides the enfield, the army model, and the johnson would be a little under 100$ in todays money. So yes, while the m16 would be expensive, the milsurp was all pretty cheap.
>1000 rounds of .223 cost half the price of a new AR >good quality ARs dropping back below $1000 only happened relatively recently
That ammo is at least 50c/round adjusted for inflation, back in a time when you actually got discounts for buying in bulk.
>you will only carry a Glock >you will only have AR pattern rifles >you will NOT enjoy guns for anything besides martial, utilitarian purposes >you will NOT enjoy your range time >you will NOT plink with historical firearms >you WILL turn all shooting into TRAINING
>you WILL turn all shooting into TRAINING
Hell yeah they will fear my john wick call of duty skills as I magdump into one target at 5 yards while 14 others just sit there. Next, the angled foregrip, super compensator flashguard, and my $40 ebay sight will give me the .1 second advantage to totally quickscope the baddies, and thanks to that one youtube video I watched I will remember to switch of warrior mode so my adrenaline will let me dodge 762x39 bullets because they're no match for my zappman k-frames enabled by my gear. the worst part is that some of you idiots actually think like this
God I would be happy to travel back in time and deal with all the bullshit just to get an M1917 fresh from the fields of France where some Doughboy used it to put Huns down like whitetail back home innaAppalachia. Then I'd probably spend as much time as possible getting the US military as advanced as possible for WW2. Probably take a trip to China and assassinate Mao sometime in the 20s and do some frickery to ensure the Soviets and the US will never cooperate on any level. Just imagine how much fricking milsurp you could get your hands on if the Nazis had conquered the USSR and all those weapons. Millions of DPs, PPSs and PPShs just waiting to be dumped on the civilian market. FRICK.

I have a photographic memory and an obsession with war, its waging and its implements. I'll have fricking B52s flying out of Scotland by 1945 to drop nuclear bombs on Nuremburg and Munich while others fly out of Guam to drop nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My autism shall carry the US to become the ruler of post-WW2 Earth.
Just to suffer?
Don't forget to adjust for inflation.

Sorry bro but $400 Savages are not as cool as $80 (after inflation) SMLE's. Plus, surp ammo was practically free.

I did that for an ad for Lugers in the 50s and it was like $850 today
This. The Johnson rifle would be very expensive for the time period that picture was taken.
>clips
it was clips all along
magazines do not exist
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Never read National Geographic Clip?

Born too late to hoard milsurp in the golden age.
Born too early for SHTF.
Born just in time to suffer.
real
>born just in time to take trophies from the dead federal agents who raided your forest compound
FTFY
>killing members of any large, organized group while holing up in a static position
Enjoy having your family killed in the ensuing siege.
I probably won't be alive to take trophies but that's ok, surviving defeats the purpose
>we
>WUZ
>BRITS
>$60 Johnson
Inflation and such, yeah, but I just want to imagine buying an excellent condition Johnson for such a price.
That would be $780 when adjusted for inflation and that was actually quite a lot of money back then too.
>back then
What year is "back then"? I'm not seeing a year in that pic.
Upper right, sale expires around March of 1961
Yep looks cheap today but a gallon of fuel when that ad printed was about 30 cents. israelite banking took those times away from us all.
WOW!!! OUTDATED BOLT ACTIONS!!!
frick ya mudda

there is nothing fun or interesting about 5 round capacity bolt actions
they are all the same

My dad bought a something something fud gun way back when, and they just gave him a Jungle Carbine and two packs of ammo.

Your scheme depends on Schickelgruber being detarded and not breaking every promise/treaty.

The 'Italian sniper rif;le' for the vetterli vitalli 70/87/15 is always comedy gold. I love the 70/87 not so much the 6,5 version
