In those days, Sam Cummings, the head of Interarms, ran Ye Old Hunter along with Val Forgett and Meyer Reiswerg. Reiswerg was the one who wrote the unforgettable comic ads for the rifles. Ads like:

[Describing Carcano ammo and bayonets] "Garibaldi's Greasy Growlers" and "Garibaldi's Guinea Gougers" (no Italians complained).

The Carcano ammo came in clips and covered with grease - a major pain. I bought a carbine like the one Oswald used and when they said he cranked off rapid fire shots, I wondered how, as the bolt handle knob was almost two inches in front of the trigger - a major military no-no.

I remember seeing Parabellum 08 Lugers advertised for $25.00.

THOSE were the days. More like it should be.

THOSE were the days. More like it should be.

As they say, "ATF should be a convenience store, NOT a government agency"...

I ordered some parts from RTG for my Romanian Tokarev. Very satisfied.
