Funny how differnt states do things. I too was surprised by the TN system when I moved here as TN was supposed be "a freedom state".
Simpe things like in Idaho where I moved from, if you had a concealed carry permit, you didn't need a NICS or background check. You filled out a 4473, handed them your permit, they wrote the permit info down and put "NA" for the background check. Gave them your cash and away you went. This is how it should be in a gun firendly, free state.

Requested to speak to a supervisor. They would have cleared that up quickly.
You don't I didn't do that rather than ditching a Sig320 in TN?

As above, but always check with the airline in both your departure and your arrival airports. True story: We visited TN from ID a couple of times before moving here. Flew SW Airlines both times. Called SW in ID found out what I needed. Was a very smooth process. Declare CCW, get tagged at counter, over to TSA desk, cleared, and on the way. Didn't think to talk to SW in Nashville though. Spend my 2 weeks in TN and go to the airport to return home. SW agent there rejects the very same box/lock setup I flew in with. Was all legit per TSA but the counter lady would have none of it. Asked to speak with TSA and was told they are in the back and will not come up front unlike ID where you go to a TSA counter for clearance. SW ticket counter refused to let me clear my CCW. Luckily, my buddy who we visited was hanging out so I sent the CCW home with him and got on the plane. What would I have done if he wasn't there? Toss the gun in the trash, hand it to the closest thug I could find? The counter people could care less what TSA rules you show them, it is all based on thier own mood/interpretation at the time.

I have them for my AK74 and the run great. I haven't tried them in my AK47's though as steel surplus mags are still widely available.

Taking a road trip through Jackson and possibly into Memphis this weekend. What places are the "must stop at" gun shops? I know none will have ammo, that is a given. Mostly interested in old wood and cosmoline especially leaning towards old Soviet type firearms and accessories. Large reloading supply shops would be cool as well especially if they have used equipment.

You drove from Dover to Lebanon to attend a gun show? Now there's dedication!
I don't know about dedication. I having just moved here from Idaho I like taking the road trips to explore. Made a whole day of it. Not just the gun show but also googled for FFL dealers, reloading shops, surplus stores and the like around Nashville and along the way of the big loop that I did. Only thing I couldn't find I was hoping to is a guy that does parts kits and bits for old Comm-Block stuff.

This thread went differently than I would have guessed. Maybe the fire for Jeeps is just local to my hometown. Thanks for the help!
Sorry was late. I have a 2000 wrangler SE, 4 cyl Wrangler. Had it 15 years now. Drive it work daily from Dover to Clarksville. My engine gave it up at 200k miles. I use slightly taller tires, but not overly large, 235/75-15s and I roll at 75mph the whole way. $8k is a touch high but not bad if all else is in perfect shape. A TJ jeep will last forever with regular maintenance. The things that do need replaced from time to time are much less costly than a payment. I have put 10k in mine overall even replacing the engine. Much less cost than what a new one would be but then I enjoy shop time with my Jeep.

Went yesterday. Most ammo and complete guns were way over priced. Did find some 5.45x39 for 30 cents per though. Cleaned him out of it. So there were some deals to be had, just had to dig a little.

Good morning, Introduction; Just moved to TN from ID. Settled into the Dover area. Like collecting and shooting military-patterend firearms.
Rock bottom value of a Garand
in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Posted · Edited by DO-TN
As others mentioned the scope is about 1/2-2/3 of that $350 if you flip it. You may actually turn a profit selling the rest for parts at the next gun show.
As for Garand value for a shooter, I did drive down to Anniston and bought one of the refurb $650 Garands this last fall. Worth every single penny. New barrel, re-parkerized, new re-pro walnut stock set with CMP stamp. New-old stock sling, nice CMP case. Springfield with a Korea War era serial (having done a tour in Korea this kinda spoke to me). Looks like a brand new issue Garand. As I wanted something to shoot and take to the ocassional competition it was the perfect choice. Right at $1000 out the door with 2 cases of new manufacture M2 ball, some accesories and the documentation/fees, I cannot complain.
So, if you are wanting a project, the $350 is fair, if you want a new-ish Garand to love on for many years, make the road trip down to Alabama. I am sure you convice others here to join in to split the gas costs.
