About the time .22 ammo was getting scarce, I happened across minimags..early 80s production, for $13 a brick at a gun show. I'd have bought hem for novelty alone as I;;d never seen Minimags in 50 ct boxes....but at that price, it was a steal. Bought the only two he had. About the same time, I found about 10 boxes of Minimags at a local Kmart....priced at 4.79 each, which was great for that point in time. Bought all they had, and realized the deal was even a bit sweeter, as I'd gotten charged for 8 boxes but had purchased 10.
