That's about $992 in today's money (using inflation rate avg 2.88%).

There is plenty of brand equity in Colt. A re-structure along the lines of shedding debt through bankruptcy (not paying creditors), investment in new innovative products and relocation of manufacturing to a " right to work" state with modern manufacturing processes and a more flexible workforce...

I paid $700 plus tax when they first came out. In 1911s, I have a couple of Dan Wessons and an RIA. The Ruger has never had a problem and I have fed it all kinds of ammo. I think it has great fit and finish. It's not in the league of the DW but it's half the price and it's not far behind. Even...

We are getting what we pay for. Most of us (me included) look first for the price of the gun that we want and aren't really prepared to pay extra for good service. Sure there are some exceptions and quite a few who favor a LGS over Buds, but they are a minority. And a lot of times, good...

I would have to say a Mosin Nagant that cost me $90, which works out to about $1 per pound of trigger pull. And a Micro Desert Eagle that I over-enthusiastically ordered from a CDNN catalog, and which has the unfortunate tendency to drop its magazine out at inopportune times. It makes up for...

You know, I think you can make the case that you are choosing between the best available guns at their price points so there really is no bad decision and it comes down to ho much you want to pay.

I like my Ruger better than my RIA

I had many problems (FTF, FTE) with my pps and had to return it twice to Smith And Wesson who do the warranty work for Walther. Mine is 40S&W and the 9mm may be better or I may have had a lemon. It was eventually fixed I think but I never have trusted it again and it sits in the safe unused and...

The first criteria to meet is "Will I carry it?" If it's too thick or heavy the answer may be "no". So start there. Of the guns that are small and light enough for you to carry, choose one that has enough stopping power, that you are confident you can be accurate with and that is reliable...

The LGS has to offer some value because their price is almost always significantly higher. My LGS has CHL courses and a range I use regularly. My FFL does transfers as a side business that introduces people to his main business of customizing guns. Both of these are viable business models. I...

I'm in the "buy her what she wants" crowd. The 380 is adequate and far better than the gun she leaves at home because of the recoil, reliability, looks or whatever issue she might have with the first production run of a model you talked her into.

This from Buds own forum (December 2010) explains just how many Mosins they are selling.

With such slim margins, imagine how difficult it is to make good decisions to grow these businesses profitably (Eg. launching new products, setting prices based on predicted volume, investing in marketing or customer service). One of the primary assets of any company is brand equity; basically...

The domestic gun market is so fractured and so diverse, it is difficult to see how any manufacturer could be making large (percentage) profits. There are so many suppliers competing for the same dollars that if someone comes out with a hit product, another manufacturer will surely try to...

If you mean by gouging that they charge the maximum amount the market will pay, that is capitalism. It's the whole point.

The $50 specials are holiday prices from what I can see. Christmas/New Year and Thanksgiving. I think Fathers Day is another one and there are probably some others. I have 2 and while I can't speak for "spec" since I haven't mic'ed them (has anybody?) I can say that you can build a tight...

Carl Gustafs 1913 followed by Lithgow SMLE 1920

M2carbine - your MDE groups at 52 yards beat mine at 50 feet. That's some shooting!

I'm only half way through it but so far it is an excellent book.
