Note: Fall/Winter 2008
I miss those days and I completely missed the better days that preceded these! ETA: Rainy day here - cleaning out the cave and found this.

Honestly, the prices now aren't that much higher. I have to give Bryan and the guys credit, they've been keeping the prices low.
Just a reminder of why you have the industry's most loyal customers. I remember that note on the top right hand corner, "NO credit card fees." We DON'T forget... |

Oooh yeah...Obama gets elected and then we launch the catalog. Talk about a cluster...
I was hired I think a week before Labor Day '08 as a warehouse shipper. The phrase "that escalated quickly" doesn't begin to describe that time for me... ETA: jnk, yes that was the last print flyer. Nowadays not much stays around long enough. When you consider the cost and time required to put out a flyer, it's hard to plan that far in advance to know for sure what will be here and what the price will be. |

I agree the fact that prices haven't crept up that much is a testament to AIM's doing what they can to keep prices low.
The biggest thing I kick myself over (from that flyer) is not getting more tins of 7.62x25  I only have two Rommy and two crappy Polish tins left, which I'll probably never shoot since I can't replace them.

I'm super pissed that I didn't get more of the 8mm mauser. Bought 1 can way back when and assumed, stupidly, that I'd just get more when I ran out. Fuck me.
That and .303, dammit. Now I've got 2 K98s and an Enfield that are damn near impossible to find cheap ammo for. |

I miss making those!  I miss shipping the thousands and thousands and thousands of orders we had processing. ...said no shipping employee ever. In the future, Just bundle all orders into one shipping container and send them to me. I'll be happy to take all that junk off your hands, no charge. |

Agreed! $14.00 pmags, $100.00 Stripped Lowers, $525.00 Uppers, no problem finding better deals then those now days. New rifles like the AR? Definitely a good time. Surplus? Not so much. |
