A Thompson was sold for around $225 in 1925, so adjusted for inflation that's roughly $3300. A good AR-15 style rifle will be around 1/3 of that, and an AK style rifle around $500.
- CapricornNoble 7y agoI'm pretty sure those $225 Thompsons were fully automatic. You're not getting a full-auto AK for anywhere close to $500. Most full-auto weapons today are also in the $2000+ range.
- greedo 7y agoThe difference between a semi-auto AK and a full one is a very small, easily made piece of metal... Has no bearing on the cost.
- CapricornNoble 7y agoIt has no bearing on the manufacturing cost but it absolutely impacts the retail price. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/825012731 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/825012731
