Smoky Mountain Gun & Ammo (SMGA) has a store in east Knoxville now. I know nothing about it but apparently they are open. Bill’s Outpost down in Alcoa/Maryville is an excellent suggestion. I’d also check Harvey’s Pistol & Pawn. They generally have very good prices on in stock items that may not necessitate the need for a transfer if you’re looking at new stuff.

I'd go with the Wrangler as well, unless you wanted a 22 lr/22 mag convertible or an awesome 16" barrel. That's where Heritage can't be beat for the price.

If you look at any other recently placed ad they all have that warning.

Yeah, Powell’s gone nationwide. Hard for a local boy to get a deal. But even if it was all local and In person there’s always someone that doesn’t know any limitations...like the guy buying M1 clips.

So, what are you going to do about to it?

Oh, I know. I do keep up with the local auction house and got all excited a couple of years ago when they had a bunch of nice S&W revolvers. They were running low so I thought why not. Gave it a shot then they started off into more than than I was willing to bid. Do you have that sweet Model 18 I was trying to get?

The one and only gun auction I’ve been to showed me that. Was about 12 years ago before they were half local/half online. Some dumb fool went home with a ziplock bag of six M1 enbloc clips for nearly $50.

I am totally jealous and happy for you!

With all the economists we seem to have in this country the problem should have been fixed yesterday, lol.

I don’t know anything about that but the maximum sales tax rate anywhere in the state of TN is 9.75%...7% for the state with up to 2.75% for the locals depending on what rate they set.

Funny how inflation works. Everyone and their brother is jacking up prices for no excusable reason. Let’s not forget the “seller’s premium”. The auctioneer gets a respectable piece of what the owner is due.

Kudos to you @FUJIMOfor posting a local news source. As far as the event goes, just damn. When is this #### going to stop?

Don’t you have to be like 15 to use Instagram and TikTok? BTW, TT is Chinese owned.

Or when those same “reputable” dealers throw stuff up on Gunbroker rather than selling to normal customers who just want to walk into a store and see/buy stuff.

Back in the day all we had were record albums and radio, or concerts. I remember April Wine very well but never appreciated how good they really were. Excuse the dumb filler of an otherwise great performance.

Why Ruger “restarted” Marlin with the .45-70 (still the only thing available) continues to confound me. People, well at least me and seemingly everyone else based on their popularity, want a .357 Magnum Marlin. Marlin literally had just installed all new equipment to make 1894’s and was manufacturing them that lacked all the issues of that line built on the old machinery before being acquired by Ruger. Seriously, what’s the delay?

That’s because it’s really dumb.

People did used to get beat and killed with those things back in the b&w movie days. Even the ‘70’s versions were pretty solid.

@gregintennYou need a dashcam, lol.

IPhone in an Ottorbox Defender, or would you tear that up as well?

There was a gun show sting in Knoxville last month that netted a Detroit scumbag.

A man is only as good as his word. If he needs his wife’s permission to use it or make other excuses to weasel out of an agreement then what do we have? I believe the woke folk call it “gender dysphoria”.

I’m not a Colt guy so I’ll not opine too much, but this is just a commercial Colt 1911 from the ‘70’s. It is not an “old military” model. They stopped making those in 1945 if we’re talking USGI. It being a Colt adds $ for the simple fact that is has the Colt name on it.

Today’s edition of the trash has been put out.
