Ads from the good old days

Never forget what they have stolen from you. Would be nice if we could return to the law as it was prior to 68', especially once the Ukraine war ends and all that surplus will be hitting the market.

I remember the simplicity and directness of older ads. However, I've also come to appreciate the sophistication of modern advertising techniques. They've become more tailored and relevant to our interests.

I've noticed this, especially when it comes to online marketing. Nowadays, we have tools that help us understand and reach our audience more effectively. For instance, I've been using the adspy library. It's been super helpful for refining my advertising strategies and watching what competitors are doing. This technology makes it easier to connect with the right people and stay ahead in the game.

October 1962 issue of AMERICAN RIFLEMAN

And of course, these were infamous "G models" that were mistakenly imported with the original full-auto receivers, but with semi-auto lower.

Yes, fond memories. However, the Sten Gun above was not a working firearm, it had been demiled. And of course we remember the one which started all the mess.

My dad worked at Airesearch (Garrett) and I remember when I was a kid he would bring home ( I think it was Shotgun News) a big catalog of guns and such. You could even order them through the company store if I remember correctly.
