I came across an old 1969 Williams How To Convert Military Rifles catalog. Check out these low prices.

Can I order a dozen of those Finnbear actions at that price??  Pretty PLEASE?

Those get a whole lot more expensive when you are earning $1.75/hr or so.....roughly min wage when that was out.  at that time I was making $.50 /hr as a kid helper for the carpenters building a bunch of homes near where my folk's place was....Dad tells me that the mill was paying $5.00-$7.00/hr for green chain...skilled jobs hit $10.00/hr.

With inflation that $141 finn comes to $815.24 in today's market. That can get you a whole lot of rifle today. Considering a dual port savage action is only $500.
