It's more fun it you note the prices you paid for them. Time machine.

The B&T Quad Rail is long gone. Just didn't work well.

I am not as old as you. The only firearm I owned in the 80s was a fudd rifle Mossberg 7mm magnum my dad bought me for $60 and I don't own it anymore.

I think you are missing the point of having bragging rights of being able to buy guns back in the day.

But I did own a pair of parachute pants in the 80s

Former Israeli boarder guard Mauser 66 sniper in .308. Very few made and imported, traded it for a NIB green AUG back in the 90's. Then sold the AUG for $3k!

Mine all fell victim to my 1st divorce, all except my Beretta 92 but that was made in MD.

I think the first salad days of gun importation were from the 50's to late 60's.
