Does anybody remember a publication from years back...

[notnksnemor]

Shotgun Times or Shotgun News or something like that?
It was basically all advertising for guns for sale.

Shotgun news. It was a black and white small newspaper like publication. I bought a $39 6.5 x 55 Swedish Mauser from them. They had alot of good stuff, that was before the internet. It’s been several years.

I bought at least a couple dozen mostly surplus arms from shotgun news advertisers.

I subscribed to it for many years. Due to dealers whining, they quit showing prices and it about killed them. It became just another gin publication.

I remember going to gun shows and dealers would have signs "Shotgun news prices Plus 10%." Nice no haggling way to buy!

Shotgun news was like a Sears Christmas Catalog for grown men.
