Golden age over!

The golden age of pistol caliber carbines ended in 1994 thanks to the "anti-crime bill".Plans were made for example to offer the tec-9 with folding stock and in .38 super.The market was ready to break wide open as they were unregulated and the public demand was high.
Just goes to show what the gummint,in it's infinate wisdom,can accomplish!

At that time it also raised the price of guns especialy semi-autos. Good M1 Garands where about $400. PRICE JUMP!!! $650 next. Then seemes like I was always couple hundred away so SKS's, Enfeilds and Swedes started my collection. Each of those under $100 a pop.
