Visiting Pigeon Forge Tennessee area, any good gun shops besides Buds?

[Lennyjoe]

Down here for the weekend and like to visit LGS while traveling so any suggestions down this way beside Buds Gun shop in Sevierville? Mostly looking for reloading supplies.

Not much in the way of reloading, but Smoky Mountain Knife Works has a decent gun counter downstairs, and usually competitive prices on loaded ammo. Just need to figure 11% sales tax on purchases.

SMKW has almost as many guns as knives. Great place to spend a couple-three hours.

And you can park in one spot and visit Buds and SMKW. They are pretty close.

I've never been there, but SMKW has a dedicated gun store in Knoxville that may have a better supply of reloading supplies.

Mostly NFA stuff, but they have close to 30 types of full-auto guns you can rent.

SMKW is worth the time. Just like said above. @hso might be able to add some comments.

If you go to SMKW and like old stuff, check out the Relic Room downstairs, it has quite a few old guns, swords, militaria, etc.

J Floyds Golf & Guns used to be worth a stop, but I haven't been in a few years so not sure about now.

Last time I was there, I lucked up at Bass Pro in Sevierville and scored some LRP and H1000.

Forgot about the BPS.

Lennyjoe: Czechpoint USA must be closed all weekend. This company is just southeast of Knoxville.
They import the very well-engineered VZ-58 rifles from the Czech Republic. I've owned mine since 2019.

But CZ handguns were imported by a different business, which might still be in Kansas City iirc.

Copy all. Will check out the Knife shop when I hit Buds. I seen the Gun and Golf shop and plan on hitting tomorrow on our way back to Ohio. It’s about 2 miles from where we’re staying. BPS will be on our list as well.

As for others, might take a bit of convincing the SWMBO to stray off course after being away from her grand babies for so long…lol

If you come back home via U.S. 62 through Hillsboro again, there's a relatively new place over that way with a good amount of reloading stuff.
Worth hitting at some point even if not this time.

As mentioned Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Bass Pro Shops.
Buds and SMKW are walking distance apart. It's hardly worth moving your car.

Everything I was going to say has been said. I will say I can hear TN Sliencer from the house when they open up with FA guns from time to time.
