Yeah - I sure don't find any cheap guns like I used to. When I lived on the Vermont-Canadian border - back around 1976 - there was something going on in Québec with guns-laws. I'm not sure what, but the Canuks from La Belle province were bringing us over guns to Newport, Vermont by the bushel basket - hand guns and long guns. I bought an awful lot of nice guns back then in the $50 price range - even a few pre-64 Winchesters and a short-barrel Winchester "trapper's carbine" for a $100.
My son came here last month visiting from Colorado and we made the rounds of local gun shops here in NY for used stuff. He'd like to get some older guns with some real wood in them. We could hardly even find a .22 rimfire for under a $100, and older "beater" high-power rifles had price tags on them starting at $300.
I used to figure that anyone could find a military 8X55 mauser for $50 and go deer hunting with it. Not so sure anymore.
The best deals I've gotten lately have been on-line at gunsamerica.com But, then I have to pay a local FFL shop $25 to accept the mail-order gun. I looked for two years locally, trying to buy a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch-Rifle in .223. Cheapest around here was over $500 used. I ended up buying two nice ones at $150 each from some guy in Texas.
