In 1990, I bought a New England Firearms .410 which is about the same as a H & R single shot for $69.95.I had to laugh at the sterling and H&R. They basically doubled while the rest went up by at least 5 times
My first pistol was a sterling 380 for $49.99 in 2000. There was an old farmer down the road from my parents that sold guns out of a mini barn. I told him I wanted it so later that night he came down to my parents and my dad filled out the paperwork. I also bought a Taurus 357 model 66 with a 4” barrel the day I turned 21(2003) for $200 new. We bought a lot from him. My dad bought a few sks’s for $59.99 and a AK for $79.99. He had a heart attack in 2005 and closed his shop. I miss those days.In 1990, I bought a New England Firearms .410 which is about the same as a H & R single shot for $69.95.
I have one. Mohawk Brown and manufactured 1963 before they started putting serial numbers on them. Still a super fun gun to shoot.You could definitely make out well with about 10 or 20 of those Remington Nylons. They go for pretty good money now. I do remember that back then they didn't have a great reputation though.
I'd always wanted one and finally found one last year at a gun show for a price I was willing to pay (<$300). There were several at the show but they were mostly north of $400. When I saw the one I got, I didn't even bother haggling.I have one. Mohawk Brown and manufactured 1963 before they started putting serial numbers on them. Still a super fun gun to shoot.
In 1984 I bought a H&R .22 revolver for $40 in the parking lot of the Clinton Power Station nuke plant. Damn was their gun laws back then? I still have it and it shoots pretty sweet.In 1990, I bought a New England Firearms .410 which is about the same as a H & R single shot for $69.95.
