Least expensive firearm you ever purchased?

Featured Replies

Ruger p89 9mm $250 brand new otd in 1997. 21st birthday present to myself the first day I could legally buy a handgun in PA.

British 303 jungle carbine $15 1980

 

Now that's awesome. This gets my vote. Lee-Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbines are really expensive now. I'd absolutely love to have one if I had the money.

Brand new Hi-point C9 (9MM) for $149.00 2 years ago.

I would have to say my 1936 Winchester Model 62 for $75 or Enfield Jungle carbine for $75

Sounds to me like buying a firearm at the right time is like investing your money in the stock market. At least that's what I would tell my ex wife.

Have a Bersa Thunder waiting at the FFL. $349.

 

Ouch!

1 year unlimted range membership $90, and they threw in a nib Sedco SP22. Worlds worst semi auto handgun.

I thought the rubber band holding the mag tight into the magwell solved your problem, Bob!

 

As for MY least expensive:

S&W 17-3 (6 shot) 6" Blue, brand new $150

(1976 dollars)

SKS from cabelas about 4 years ago $97.00 / MARLIN 795 22 rifle from DICKS $79.00 on sale and with coupons

$80 in the late 80's for a great condition Ithaca/SKB XL300 semi-auto shotgun. I still have it and hunt with it, and its still in great condition... They're worth upwards of $350 on the used market nowadays.

$125 for a JC Higgins 12ga pump with scope. Used.

 

New either my Hi-point 9mm carbine, or my Kel-tec PF9, they were both around $310-ish. And I hate both of them.

"What's the least expensive firearm you ever purchased brand new? "

.25 cal. Beretta Bantam, $25, K22 Masterpiece S&W $35, Win. Model 43 in 218 Bee, $70, all in 1957.

That's awesome. Bidding on a new .380 Bryco type pistol on GB now. Still holding at $43 no reserve. NJ dealer, pickup ok.

A Winchester 62A that I got last year for $30 because the seller believed it would not fire.

 

If you include airguns, a BB gun.

a Ruger 10/22, at an Oklahoma City gun show in 1989, for $119....still got it.

Ruger 10/22 for $200.

 

But after all the upgrades, it is also the most expensive rimfire I own.

I bought a Mossberg 500 from my neighbor for $100. It was never fired! (till I got it)

$57.55 for a Hi-point JHP .45 that had been run over by a truck or something. I offered to pay for the repairs, but Hi-Point made it new for free.

 

*EDIT*

I just noticed the "new" thing. I guess being run over probably put it in the "used" category.
