Bill,
Seemingly things were cheap, but your pay was such that it took just as long ( or most likely longer ) to acquire that special firearm that you wanted so badly.
I remember walking into Aero-Marine Supply in Birmingham, AL back about 63'.
They had a rack of firearms down the center of the store .
On one side were M-1 Carbines for $29.95. On the opposite side of the rack were M-1 Rifles for $49.95.
At the time, there was no way that I could come up with the money to buy either.
