In the 60s it was mostly european bolt action rifles in the barrels
and the racks around the store. They also had those 20mm anti tank
guns laying around but ammo was scarce for them.

Hey, everyone needs an anti-tank gun!

Those things were everywhere before 1968 but I never heard of anyone
buying one. I think these were the Solothurns but I am not sure. We
always gave then a quick look over and walked on. I saw them in
catalogs too.

They used to advertise them in the back pages of gun mags. I had a
college room mate who was a bit of a gun nut and for some reason he
always lusted after a Finnish Lahti 20mm. They weren't that expensive
in the 60s.
