Tiapat,

Funny that my Dad bought my older brother and me our first surplus M98 Mausers, for $35.00 each, at that exact location in 1967.

Several months before he had purchased a brand new Walther P-38 there for $120.00.

I last visited that shop in 1991. Great place to purchase Interarms weapons at that time.

Also, great place for an 11 year old, interested in firearms, to hang out!
