Back around 1967 I ordered an FN model 1949 in 7mm Mauser from the JC Penney catalog.

My how times have changed and not for the better.

Yep. My folks bought me a Winchester 141 from Sears in 1968.

The days of the catalog 'loophole'.

Good times, before the GCA of '68. Fill out the order form, put your check in and mail it, and a firearm comes in the mail.
