In the 1960's sometime, Letterkenny Army Depot was selling off Model 520 Stevens pump guns for $17. No DCM, no NRA, no mail orders, just go in, pick out a gun, fill out a form with name and address, pay $17 (no sales tax), and walk out with the gun.
There was a one per customer limit each day, but I could have gone back any number of times. I later sold the gun for $100 to a military shotgun collector who drooled all over it.
