You could mail order a 20mm Lahti or a 1934 25mm Hotchkiss cannon. No matter what your age, no 4473 paperwork, no stamps. Those were the days back when the government respected the citizens.

1963 Was A Good Year

The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

It's neat to see old adds like that. I've got a bunch of old Outdoor Life and Field&Stream magazines from 1928-32. I like reading the old adds better than I like the articles.

You have to look at inflation. $100 was a good weeks pay back then, maybe more.Originally Posted by Relentlous
Ok I just did a Google search for $100 in 1963 to 2016
But that's still cheap for what you get, (plus no paperwork, no ATF for Destructive Device) ads to the value.$100.00 in 1963 had the same buying power as $778.04 in 2016
I'd pay $778.04 for that Hotchkiss or Lahti any day.
And one more thing about today's world.
Even if you could find the explosive rounds would more than likely have to get a $200 stamp for every round you fired.
