I've checked various magazine adverts from 1977. Weapons are priced based upon 1977 prices, as are all the TL6-7 gear and the vehicles. NRA Rifleman, Popular Science, and Popular Mechanics gives you all the pricing info you need to rebuild the "real-world" prices. The correspondence is very tight, 1:1.
