Guns Magazine April 1960

Some interesting reading here from the 60's. Cops teaching delinquent kids to shoot, big-bore african goliath, 30 Newton, loading bench plans...

very cool blargon thanks for posting. I see you could still get a Colt SA revolver in the venerable 45 LC but they were getting a little pricey. - $125 LOL

Just a head up...$125 in 1960 is about $955.00 in today's dollars.

M1 Garands for $79 woo hoo.

Certainly did and still have most of them...... someplace.....

"...$125 in 1960 is about..." Likely a lot more than that. Mind you, in 1960, $125 was a week's wages for most people.

Dude if you can find me a new in the box Colt SA revolver for $955 I'm a buyer! I'll take as many as you can find
I bet even the 1960 Gun Magazine as posted would be worth a buck or two in pristine shape, interesting what holds its value, and what don't....
