$13 to restock a gun...those were the days I wonder what $13 dollars in 1911 would represent today?

$13 to restock a gun in 1911. Couple of thousand now? I bought a calculator the other day for a dollar. Same basic calculator would have cost me $150 in the early 70's. My first car was a Toyota in 1975. It cost $2500 new. Try buying a car for that now. You can buy lap top computers all day long for less than $500. A few years ago those same computers (actually not as good) would have cost a couple of thousand. Go figure.

I have had a couple of guns restocked and the cost is between $2000-3000. I bought a Chevy 4X4 new with all the options in 1976 for $5500 out the door. A friend bought a new Ford diesel $63K
