Man, I loved me some 2018 and 2019 Black Friday at Academy. S&W's were so cheap. So very very cheap. Like, as low as $150 after gift card cheap. Buy one get one free deals. And looks at that Monarch for 19.2cpr (steel case but whatever right?) So much goodness that's been missing. Here are some of my favorite memories:

I got a 10/22 threaded 16 inch for $280 ish out the door Sunday at the Norman Academy with a 10% first responder discount. I didn’t think that was too bad. The cheapest one I can find on Gunbroker is $340 ish plus shipping and transfer.

Probably not many of you remember when Academy was called Academy Surplus. In the 80's it was actually a surplus store , Army etc. Don't think there was one here at that time. I used to go to one in Austin back in '85-'86 when I was there building a TV station. Had new items but a lot of surplus. They gradually moved to new items and grew into what we have now.

Let this serve as a reminder that the gun and ammo industry care nothing about you all other than our money. They leveraged our 2A fights and made money from it. More profits for them now more than ever before. Copper and brass didn’t go up near enough to justify these retail prices. They are all scumbags

You thought that the companies were ever in it for anything but the profits? There's not a corporation on the planet I think cares about anything but our money.

Free market, supply and demand is a dova sometimes.

I bought one of the sw victories back then.
