And yes, people complained about these prices then... 😂😂😂

Moral of the story: Vintage guns have always gone up in value, and will likely never be as inexpensive as they are today.

(And for the Facebook trolls, this is an ad from over 30 years ago, NOTHING FOR SALE!!!🙄)

We just got in a pretty cool close out directly from the C**t factory in Hartford, CT.

We bough all the parts for the C**t Mustang they had and made up a kit of spares with almost all the parts for it!

All the parts in this kit sell at Numrich for over $600, grab a kit for only $129.95!

Available now on the website (Nothing for sale on Facebook!)
