I could have bought new Garands and M-1 carbines in the sixties for something like sixty bucks apiece, why didn’t I buy a dozen of each?

What cost $60 in 1965 would cost $437.41 in 2013. So what iw the going rate for an M1 carbine in today's dollars?

The M1 carbine was available cheap in the 60s, but the Garand was hard to come by with the DCM controlling the limited supply of them. They were in such short supply that people took to welding halves of demilled Garand receives back together and putting modified M1903 barrels on them.
