Saving on magazine subscriptions
« on: December 15, 2009, 04:29:03 AM »
I wanted to read some shooting mags over the weekend and I happened to be at Walmart so I started reading a few. I didn't buy any. I went home to "the box". The box has about 35 pounds of old shooting magazines in it, some dating back to the 80s. That was good enough.

There's really nothing new in the gun press, so reading old magazines is a reasonable thing to do.

I had a friend give me about 35-40 years worth of old American Rifleman mags a while back.
I pull them off the shelf and read them when times are slow. Still lots of good info in them.
And as you said not much new info in any of the current issues out there.

At the local gun show there is usually a vendor there that has stacks of old shooting and outdoor magazines and sells them 4 for a dollar. I like the older ones better anyway. They seem less like a brochure for the industry then they do today.

So who wants me to dig out the boxes of old magazines I have stored in the attic and ship them your way for a feenominal fee of course?
