My first deer rifle was an 03 Springfield, I picked it out of about 20 that were in a galvanized trashcan in front of the counter at the local hardware store, 20 dollars.
I don’t remember Springfields being sold like that, but I wish I’d bought at least a few of the Enfield Jungle Carbines displayed in garbage cans for $18.95 with a box of ammo. This was in Payless Drug Store, Roseburg, OR, mid sixties.
