I have a partially matching, bolt looks matching but doesn’t match the rest of the rifle, byf 44 K98. It could use a good cleaning and has finish loss/ dings in stock. This is not a Russian Capture. I can provide more pictures/ information as requested. Price is $900 face to face around Murfreesboro, must present valid DL or HCP.

I am in the market for a Garand and wondered if anyone had seen any sitting in shops around Crossville/ Cookeville area that are Rack or Field grade condition. Thanks for any heads up!

Thanks guys, this will be used as part of WWI programs as we near the centennial of the war so trying to balance authenticity with budget.  I prefer the one I can track down to be rather rough, because it will continue to be used rather rough, if that makes sense.

Been watching gunbroker but havent been able to make any shows for awhile  Thanks for the input guys.

Trying to track down a ROUGH but not sporterized 1903 or 1917.  Hit most of the shops in mid TN, anyone seen any in local shops? Thanks.

Perfectly legal to carry in TN State Parks with HCP but the signage still is up at the entrance of parks saying firearms are prohibited from prior to that law passing.  

I am sure you are aware but currently you are allowed to carry w/ handgun carry permit in TN state parks. I am aware this bill impacts more than TN state parks and local parks which TDEC contributes funding to. The signs TDEC is referring to do need to be changed in state parks but agree I dont see anything in the bill requiring them to do that.

Totally agree. I was reluctant to even call them because I knew the price would be insane.

Franklin Gun Shop has some Sabre lowers in stock with the "cat" rollmark but they want $250 a piece and they are stripped. For me $250 is way too much but I guess with such a limited supply on the open market they can ask whatever they want.

  I feel the same way.  The upper I have access to is un-fired and has been sitting in a safe for several years.  I still find some Sabre parts for sale on Brownells but that's about the only luck I have found with dealers still having any Sabre stuff in stock.

I will check with them but am sure they probably want a pretty high price.  Thanks for the heads up regardless.

I handled several back when they were in production and was fairly impressed but for me it's as much the Nashville connection as it is anything. I am pretty well read on the downfall of Sabre and it is disappointing what they were caught doing but still regret never picking one up when they were still in business.

I saw that. There something nostalgic though about the original Sabre lowers that say Nashville.

Thanks for the heads up. I originally wanted the "cat" roll marked one. Trying to piece together a full Sabre AR and have a lead on an upper but the lower is what's holding me up.

I have been hunting one of these for awhile with no luck except online. Is anyone still seeing any of these pop up locally? Thanks

Awesome.  Thanks for the input.  I cant wait to get it in and put some rounds down range.

I appreciate the input.  I ordered the TA44.  Can't wait to get it in.  It was a hard call between it and the TA33.  Will let you know how it works for me.  Thanks again.

What area you looking for?

Anyone have experience with either of these models?  I have experience with the TA31 but never with these.  I am looking into getting one and wondered if anyone had any feedback on it.  Thanks in advance.

Welcome Motivator

I have dealt with Larue extensively and have backordered items in the past.  They were always upfront with lead times that were correct.  Once it did end up being a slightly longer delay but they made up for it with throwing in some extra small stuff beyond the normal free stuff.  I wouldn't sweat it.  They are a great company.

I would check pawn shops...I scored one last week in Manchester.  Seems like some pawn shops aren't hip that they are alot harder to find than the M44's and 53's.

Nope I dont have a C&R. Thanks for the help.
