Oh, The Memories

[harry mac]

Memories of times when we enjoyed a tad more freedom in this Sceptred Isle.
L1A1 SLR...... £245
M1 Garand.... £250
BREN (semi).. £325
SMLE............ £70
P08 Luger...... £150-£325 depending on condition and accessories present.
No4 Mk1....... £70
7.62 NATO.... £12/100
.303 HXP...... £17.50/100
Just been to my dad's for the weekend and found an old copy of Guns Review Magazine from 1987 in the loft.
At the time, to put it in perspective, the SLR or Garand would have cost me a whole month's take-home pay, so today's equivalent (for the same rank), would be about £1600.
I know some of our US cousins can remember Barrels of Lee Enfields for $9.00 in their local hardware stores, but this is a magazine from when I applied for my first Firearm Certificate, so these are my "hardware store" prices.
Merry Christmas.
