That was still no small amount of money in the 1940's . Wonder what Winchester charged ?

Remember , the country was just coming out of the depression . $ 1 - $ 2 a day jobs were still a fresh memory , if jobs could be found . :-(

God bless

The thing is , we , the tax paying people , or out fathers - mothers or grandfathers - grandmothers , have already paid for these rifles once . :-(
