Lay-a-way Plan

[Guest Major Pain]

Do any gun shops do that anymore? In my earlier life would find something I couldn't live without just as my funds were short and my gun shop owner buddie always said "I can put it in the back and just pay me a little along." Started my Colt collection that way. Since I live in the sticks I've lost touch. Do shops still do that or does everyone just stick it on credit card? I think I paid my buddies electric bill for several years with my monthly payments. Anyone else ever buy on lay a way or am I just an old antique.--MP (If I'm out of touch let me have it.)

There are a few in Memphis that still do it. One of the ranges/stores charges a fee, but the other three stores I frequent will layaway for free. I'm about to have to do it for a 1911, methinks.

[Oh Shoot]

Must be pretty common still around the country....I've seen beau coup posts on other forums where folks mention they've put one on layaway.

Austin's Tennessee Firearms does Layaway. In Oak Ridge.

[-boatman-]

Parkway Gun in Jackson still does layaway.

[BryanP]

Specialty Arms in Lavergne has done layaway for as long as I've been going there.

[TGO David]

The last time I asked about it, Guns & Leather said that they would do lay-away and I think Hero Gear does as well. I'd defer to representatives of each shop for clarification on that.

[Guest jwp]

Coal Creek in Knoxville offers layaway.

[Guest Major Pain]

Thanks for info. Wasn't sure any shops still did it. Looks like the practice is alive and well.--MP

[Guest ScottD]

Got a SAR-8 on layaway at the moment over at Specialty.

I think that when quality firearms that were in demand by folks left the realm of us being able to buy them outright, the gun stores did us the kindness of the layaway plan. to me, a shop that is willing to lay away a firearm for someone says 2 things. 1st it means they really care about your business, and 2. that they care that even poor people like me can own a tool to protect themselves.

I think most of them still do lay- aways..I know Joe at hero gear does...

[Guest Arko]

Just when I thought I was done buying for awhile you had to go and mention Lay-a-way!

[VERO1]

It's about 50/50 in Jefferson-Morristown area. A couple cheerfully do it, acouple look like you tracked in dog crap when asked. Guess who gets my business?

[Guest sharpshooter01]

Sorry, I know that was a problem for me in younger days. I kept something on lay-away almost continuously. Soon as something got paid off I found another I just had to have, and my pusher was very happy-----MP

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

Does anybody know of a gun shop around the Chattanooga area that lets you put guns in lay-a-way?

[adam42]

I think Buds Gun Sales In Lexington does layaways. Check their internet site

+1 on Specialty Arms...good folks

[Sidinman]

There are several around this area that do. Like Sgt. Joe said Parkway Gun and Pawn, and also Krasner's Cash and Pawn, in Jackson, and Todd usually has some of the best prices around. Robertsons Trading Post in Henderson, and Woods Gun and Pawn in Lexington. Thats the ones that I've had dealings with in the past, and probably others, just haven't dealt with any others.

spell check lol

[krunchnik]

Range USA and Guns And Ammo in Memphis also do lay away.

[Smith]

D&T Arms in Goodletsville does layaway and since someone asked about terms, it's 60 days with half-down. There are no fees or interest as long as it's completed within the 90 days. There is a 25% re-stocking fee for canceled layaways. It is actually a pretty popular plan for folks around here. A lot of folks have been reserving their Christmas presents this way.
