Comprehenisve Tennessee Gunsmith List?

[graycrait]

The subject of gunsmiths comes up every now and then. Could we create a list and then make it a sticky? People ask me every once in a while about a smith so I started my own list. I think a list could be compiled without taking potshots at smiths you have had issues with or don't like. Just make some recommendations you have had postive dealings with. Here is the format I used for some Middle Tennessee gunsmiths. If the smith has a specialty then that should be added.

Pulled my head out...

[Sidewinder]

I like Grady Jones, at The Collection Connection... Hwy 96 (Franklin Road) and Veteran's Memorial Parkway. Like me, he's gettin' to be a little long in the tooth, so he's slowing down a bit. I've gotten good prices on most things I've bought from him. The marked price is the "out the door" price. He sells gune and reloading supplies also. He's a good man. I've known him for over 30 years. Check him out... and no, I'm not kin to him either!

[Guest Ken]

Thanks Sidewinder, I'll look him up. Used to live across the street from him. Forgot all about it.

Dont forget about the guy at Guns and Ammo memphis. Did a really good job turning an old Rossi uplander into a very slick SASS coach gun.

[SonnyCrockett]

I saw this thread and thought I'd throw together a little something on Google maps and it can be added to if people like it.

http://g.co/maps/v7h5g

Brings up a map and shows the location of the gunsmith. I took all the information listed and put it in as well so if you click it it comes up with phone, the gunsmith, website, etc. I also have it set to where anyone can modify or add things. Hopefully no one will come along and screw it up, but it will instead allow us to update information easily. It could also be embedded on the website somewhere if it were of any actual interest.
