111 years of .22 LR Rimfire Prices

The chart shows the prices, in the value of unskilled labor, of a .22 Long Rifle cartridge, in 2022 dollars, from 1911 to 2022.

I did not know we had it so good.

Too bad this isn’t true of all products.

Especially if you factor in the improvement on overall round quality.

Really good deal.

They have their place but they should not be lumped into the same conversation as firearms.

What's a brick of 500 going for these days? I used to pay 8.99 for 500 back in HS.

I have an old brick of Federal but no price tag on it.

Ever see this stuff? I have a box ea. of .38 and .357 that I got from my gunsmith years ago.

Oh yeah, my dad (retired cop) left behind a couple of boxes of that stuff.....I remember it was banned in some states.

Looks like a brick is going for $39.00 before shipping.

It's probably banned in my State. I got it in the early 80's and it was old then...

I should go through my ammo. These prices, I have a lot of $$$ in calibers I don't even have a gun for...

Here's my version I cobbled together out of parts I found here and there. I used a 16.25" barrel, Tech Sights, and a spare TLR-25. I also made a double mag stock pouch. It's a great little "walking around" .22.

I ended-up liking the stock better than I thought but the drop at the comb makes it better suited to irons than a scope unless you use low rings with a 25mm objective scope.

Note I also ground the mag release down to a nubbin. It's just a lost ten round mag waiting to happen otherwise.

I do like how they now incorporate molded in sling swivel studs on the stock you pictured.
