Firearms, vehicles, toys, baseball cards, old board games, farm equipment, etc. Nostalgia generates a lot of sales.
Yeah, in the mid 80's (see sigline) we were still carrying M16A1's as an Army grunt. So naturally I had to have a clone for old time's sake. That said, mine has a 1:7 twist barrel so it actually has some practicality as I can shoot the modern, heavier ammo.
