Post up old ammo prices....

[03trubluGT]

Here's a 50 round box of Federal .22 LR for a reasonable 98 cents! That's less than 2 cents per round!

Compare that to Walmart's price of $21.96 for 550 rounds (almost 4 cents a round).

This was 11 years ago this month....




Post up your old ammo price stickers!

I remember a 550 round brick of Federal being on special at Walmart for $7.98 in 2006.

Wish I could find the add for 7.62x51 for $89/1k. Those were the days of pallet shipments.

In high school (mid 80's) it was $5.96.

I'm sure when Vertnut was in high school, it was under $3.00!

I meant what you actually have! Not what you can find on the web before you were born!


Hell, in the early 90's, 5.56/.223 was $89/1,000 and 7.62x39 was $69/1,000. And that was brass cased/reloadable!

Not exactly all ammo but I have a good bit of old stuff some was purchased a bit before my time but most was when I was pretty young.

Here are some various primers from Gibson's ( a sporting goods store that was local when I was younger) also used to have a bunch of old shotgun stuff from there but most of it has been tossed.



Here is some ammo the 06' from Kmart for $4.88 back when Kmart still sold guns and ammo and some 22-250 from a gun store for $3.18

I posted this pick a while back but some dies from around 1967, too bad dies still aren't this cheap.

For both of you, there is still a Gibson's in Weatherford. They still sell guns, ammo, clothes, and hardware.

I figured there would be a few that had never heard of it. We had two while growing up, I loved going I usually got a new fishing lure or box of 22 shells, although it usually came with the price of carrying a bag of 7 1/2 shot around. The last one even remotely close was in Lawton and I think it closed shop about 10 years back.

Still one in Kerrville, too.

I'll upload a picture later but I have a 50rd box of PMC .40 with a sticker that reads $8.00

Me and my buddies used to go to Gibsons on Camp Wisdom in Dville all the time to buy BB gun stuff but the one on Hampton in Desoto was a LOT nicer. I miss old stores like Gibsons, Best Products, and Montgomery Wards.
