I remember in 1985 when I first got my FFL and Shotgun News was THE source. Guys would want to buy gun X, Y or Z for the cost listed in SN. They were not happy when I told them that was wholesale and if they wanted that price they had to get their own FFL.
I also remember as a kid going into Eagle Arms in Breinigsville, PA and seeing all the surplus rifles on the racks, hanging on peg boards or stuffed muzzle up in oak barrels. I vividly remember Italian Carcanos for $25 and beautiful Swedish Mausers with full-length tiger striped stocks for $30!! Eagle Arms is still at the same location but those prices are LONG GONE!!

While he was best known for the Parkers that passed through his shop, here is a great Fox ad from 1989 --

Unfortunately, I only got one out of this ad.
