***They had the Mosins in a barrel by the front door for $119.***

Sigh; I remember seeing barrels of British .303s and German 8MM “Commission” Mausers for $10-15 back in the early 1960s.

Winchester. Savage and Remington could not compete with Army surplus so Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar decided to call for Federal registration of handguns only, AND a ban on army surplus rifles by demonizing them.

You could also buy Civil War bayonets, Martini Henrys and Remington Rolling Block rifles for a few bucks.

Cash and carry. No paperwork.

I remember growing up when the Western Auto stores
would have barrels of rolling block rifles for
$5 or 10 dollars each. No NICs check, just pay
and go.
