A blast from the past...

Question for y’all; how many years ago was this?

Robert · December 2, 2020, 11:46pm

Well it was in color, and a WASR was

What publication is that from?

Can’t see it being shotgun news with those two conflicting signals

But time is weird

LonewolfMcQuade · December 3, 2020, 12:10am

15?

Belt-Fed · December 3, 2020, 12:18am

All the shotgun news i ever remember was printed on newsprint in black ink.

Comanchero45 · December 3, 2020, 12:24am

It’s a flyer from J&G Sales in Arizona…look at the price on that Yugo M67 ammo!
Wish I would have bought 10,000 rounds back then!

ArmedEyeDoc · December 3, 2020, 12:53am

I would say 12-15 years is about right. I bought an SKS and 500 rounds of ammo for $180 around then.

The added some bling towards the end, I preferred the newspaper print over the glossy color pages

Only 10 years ago.

Comanchero45 · December 3, 2020, 11:11am

Gougers can GFY

$129 12 months ago @ SG
Shotgun news. Showed my Dad one of their ads that had $300 AK’s if you bought 3.
Pop said buy 3. We did.

Belt-Fed · December 3, 2020, 12:22pm

Yeah, that’s crazy pricing for sure. no way i’d buy that. but lots will.

Sarge4206th · December 3, 2020, 12:53pm

I got my WASR for 150.00 in 2001 so probably 2005 or 6?

Robert · December 3, 2020, 1:06pm

$150 is what I paid for a MAK90 about that same year, let it go for the same

today

Belt-Fed · December 3, 2020, 1:12pm

These folks are desperate, long as these idiots are paying these outragous prices they will keep asking it. if people would stop buying this crap at those prices. they would come down to sell them or go under. anyone and i mean anyone that would pay that for a mac90 is brain damaged.

Sarge4206th · December 3, 2020, 1:23pm

I have 2 lol, bought them for 200 each back in the day. I modified one so its probably worthless now.

Belt-Fed · December 3, 2020, 1:26pm

I have one, it works but is cheaply made. it ain’t worth no where near 1000 bucks. i hated that crappy stock it had so i put all magpul furniture on it. fits much better now.

Sarge4206th · December 3, 2020, 1:59pm

Nice trigger though. I did a full 922R conversion on one of mine. its much better now.

Belt-Fed · December 3, 2020, 2:01pm

Yeah, they work and shoot well, i’m just not a fan of AK’s. now some of the variants are nice, like Valmets and Galils.
