When I was a boy back in 1960. American Auto stores use to sale Argentine bolt action rifles for about $10.00 each. They use to display them in of all things large garbage cans..

I tried to get my dad to buy one. Someone at his work told him military rifles all have bent barrels........Sure wish I would have had one of those rifles nowI wonder what the cost of the Argentine bolt action rifles would be now?
