I went up there this afternoon and the doors were locked.A lady a couple of doors down said they have been out of buisness for at least a month.It is hard to belive,they were always packed.Anyone have the info on what happened?

[Guest db99wj]

Wow, haven't heard anything about it. I went once, they were busy, great selection, nice people. Hate to hear that.

[BimmerFreak]

What?!

WTF is up with all the TN shops closing?

That makes 4 off the top of my head this year.

I was up there a month ago. One of the salesman commented that they were having a hard time getting inventory. He didn't sound like things were going well, but I had no idea it was that bad. Darn shame.

The bank locked up the shop. I was there the day they locked it up. There inventory was poor I would assume to non-payment. It's a shame they had a state of the art range (although a little small).

It has been well known in theese parts for quite some time now.. They built a big ass new building/range, and couldn't cover the overhead.

They built a big ass new building/range, and couldn't cover the overhead.

That is what I thought when I heard they were closed. If they had stayed in the old location they would probably been fine but the new building sure was nice and had to be expensive.

[Guest db99wj]

Well well, I am going to be up there tomorrow for some work I am doing. I was hoping this wasn't true...

Sounds like a great place too buy dirt cheap off the bank and open a satellite location for someone. I mean who else is the bank going to be able to sell a gun range to!

Hopefully they will auction off the inventory. They had some nice stuff hanging on the wall.

Not a real surprise,I was there about 6 months ago right after they opened and was looking to trade off a Browning .32ACP in like new condition.They didnt even want to entertain a trade,I was looking at a Ruger SP100 for about 5 bills and was willing to supply cash on top of the deal,needless to say I went elsewhere and got the $250.00 I was looking for,OH WELL.

[memphismason]

Wow. I hadn't heard this. I usually make it up there a few times a year. My Dad doesn't live foar from there.

Hate to hear that.

They always set up a booth at every gun show, and try to sell the same stuff from their shop just at a higher price.

[Guest db99wj]

I was up there 2 weeks ago and all the inventory was still there. It looks like they were just closed and given no opportunity to do anything. It looks like they just up and walked out when notice was given. here's a pic.

[EMTRN]

Very strange.

[memphismason]

Something aint right.

[Smith]

Looks like a bad robbery waiting to happen.

[Guest walkingdeadman]

I never went up there. I always heard they were a bunch of dicks. But, I also think that a couple of the salesmen at Guns N Ammo are jerk-offs too. But it does suck that they were shut down.
