Do you Remember?

I remember in the early/mid 60's, 30 carbines being delivered to the house sold by the US Government , probably CMP?, DELIVERED 30 bucks

After my dad retired from Ma Bell in 1985, he took a part-time job at Woolworths working the gun counter in the sporting good department. I was already living out of state by then, but I have one picture of me visiting him there on a trip back home:

One time they got in a big load of surplus Swedish Mausers and my dad stacked up several sale coupons, promos, and his employee discount (and maybe a wink and a nod from the manager) and cherry picked the four nicest ones and bought them for $25 each. He sporterized one, and after he passed, I sold two of them on eBay (back when that was OK) for around $350 each. I kept the best number-matching original gun and the one he modified.

what a great pic AND Tee shirt
