Milsurp Prices Circa 1963

[Anvil]

I found a Service Armament Co. catalogue from 1963 in a box of "stuff"
Check out the price of the SKS.

Apparently we are experiencing technical difficulties. Hang on while I get a larger image

with my 10000X8000000 telescope starring at the monitor, i still can't read the price!

Everything is relative. The average Saskatchewan weekly minimum wage, in 1965, was $38 per week as of 1 May, 1965. $1.05 per hour in Oct. 1968. Likely more than 40 hours too.

Sorry for hopping off topic, just had to make note.

Yes, things are actually a lot cheaper now, just not as much cool stuff.

Wow... look at that. 7.62mm Marxist LOL... what a name. I think I'll use that, much more fancy sounding than 7.62 Russian.

Lol, we could refer to all ammunition by the philosophy behind the makers: 7.62mm Marxist, 5.56mm Capitalist, .303 Imperialist, 9mm Teutonic, .22lr Mall Ninja...

Anyone here remember King Sol out of Ontario? We used to get the catalogs in the 80's; forget the Sears X-mas wish book, this place had everything! It rocked for surplus; they had M/N 91/30's for 50 $. I wish I still had a catalog; let alone the option's to buy AK's still
