Does anyone have a time machine that can fit a ton of Nagants?

[Melnic]

I wonder how much artistic license the artist took. Some things about the drawing of the rifle don't look correct. Still , the drawing itself is a work of art. Imagine if you had the newspaper plate for this add? That might be worth more than the gun.

 

[yellowsled]

prolly pre SCW rifles.

You'd be better off going back with Mosins, selling them for $15, and turning the cash into silver and gold coins.

Except gold could not be in private hands in 1956.

Time travel!

When do we want it?

Doesn't matter!

 

[JWGuns]

Exactly! Time travel is the main goal here

Oh, that's right, FDR banned private ownership of gold in the 1930s. Must have been lots of boating accidents shortly thereafter!!

15 bucks in 1956 dollars

But if you had invested $14.95 in the stock market (S&P500) in 1956, your porfolio would be worth $2885 today.

Gold may not be in private hands in 1956.

Interesting that 100 rounds of jacketed ammo is roughly half the cost of the gun... everything old is new again.

Confiscated from Communist revolutionaries? Or maybe it was Iran-Contra Round One?

Spanish Civil War.

I'd rather be young now. Even if I have to pay more.

I suspect you'd change your mind if you had any experience of the times. It was a great time to be a kid, back in the mid-50s.

They must be pretty special Mosins if they hold six rounds like the advertisement says.

By the way, how do you know I DIDN'T go back in time and get all of these? Keep watching the classifieds...

They're counting one in the pipe, maybe?

 

[Threeband]

I'm taking back chainsaws to swap.

 

[Alphabrew]

I wonder how much a chord of wood cost back then if chainsaws were so much? And it was probably split with mauls and wedges.

Can I borrow the time machine? I need to go back to 1933 and stop the stupid NFA tax before it happens...

On your way back, can you stop by in 1961. Either Hawaii or Kenya??

You owe me a keyboard.
