I’ve still got mine from 1982. They’re out there on Flebay if you look. The big issue is when the little sticker that shows the tenths falls off and gets lost. I had to mark mine by eye...

I just bought 2 boxes of 1000 small pistol and 1 small rifle a couple days back. $80 each and tax at a local gun shop. They had large rifle for $157 , too rich for my blood . A couple weeks...
