907.9% Inflation

US Inflation Calculator says that the $27.95 M1917 in 1963 dollars is the equivalent of $281.71 today.

They're worth a bit more than that today.

Gunbroker is saying about $1,500.

But don't sell until the court case about whether a single sale makes you a dealer is settled!

    For a lot of that inflation, you can thank our dear friends, the gun controllers. Every time they start looking like they're going to get some serious gun control, lots of people who never had guns but thought they might want them think "OMG, I've got to buy some now!" and others who have guns but want more think the same thing.

      You should see what "$70 Mosins" are going for nowadays.
