I believe they were around $450 in 1984. But ammo in real terms now, even after the Obama runup, is cheaper.....as are good mags.
I'd love to have a 20" A1 upper with a 1/7 or 1/8 twist .750" or .625" profile. Those original handguards were quite comfortable.
.223 ammo was around $300/m in 1984. In 1984 IIRC a AK (Maadi) was $1300 or so, and a Galil was $1700. Cheapest ammo was $100/m for AK around 1984-1990, and .223 was $170/m around 1997 until 2001.
