Price decrease.
Hello everyone, and my interest ingus began in 1960, and the New York City Gun stores were selling k98 Mauser for $25. To $35…. Will the prices ever drop . Peter

That's roughly $225 to $325 in todays dollars. A price drop? Not likely, because there aren't any caches left to discover.
That was not the case in the 1990's when massive numbers of surplus Mausers were imported from what was then the newly opened Iron Curtain. Those rifles, many like new, were amazing bargains.

mark christian Yes, in the 90's Sarco was 30 min away & Navy Arms was 45. We could spend an afternoon looking thru the racks. If you didn't see what you wanted, they brought out a selection.

I'm waiting for land prices to drop back down to what they were sixty years ago as well.

I would be satisfied if GAS prices would drop to pre Biden levels!

My father ordered one of these decades ago from a Spiegel catalog. Delivered right to our house. 350 Rem. Mag., model 600 Mohawk.
He wasn't much of a hunter, so the rifle has been fired maybe 30 times, and that includes sighting in a 4X Weaver scope. It's mine now. He kept the original box that the shells came in. Purchased from a drug store, for about $6.00 or so for a box of 20. But, he didn't think to keep the box the rifle came in. He regretted that for a very long time.
I'm not a hunter, so it sits in my gun vault.
That makes me jealous.........mine in .308 is not quite that nice.
