Fort Knox Area (KY)

[Army Chief]

Just relocated from NoVa to north-central Kentucky/Fort Knox/Greater Louisville area. This close to Knob Creek, there must be something going on worth knowing about ... but I haven't gotten quite that far yet.

These guys are M4C authorized dealers and contribute to the forum on a regular basis, they're located in the Louisville area. http://www.superiorfirearmsllc.com/

I'll be there next week and if it weren't for my new 442 taking a shit on me the first time to the range I'd be dropping it off while I'm there for some work... back to S&W for some warranty work first I'm afraid.

We just moved and have a nice showroom in the works if you stop by.

Definitely appreciate the lead. I had failed to make the mental/geographical connection between Superior and the new homestead, but will surely make my way up there in time -- I'm looking to put roots down in the area, and am interested in what you gentlemen are doing up there in the big city. =]

Don't forget to check out the Knob Creek Range. The next machine gun shoot is in October.

As a longtime Class III guy, the proximity to Knob Creek was the very first thing I noticed upon arrival.

Need to get some 6.8mm ammo in my range bag and Jeep my way over there. Soon.

The guys at Superior are Class III dealers and generally all around great guys. They can also get you all kinds of other gear (packs, holsters, knives, whatever.)

Knob creek is pretty cool and their range fees are cheap.

There are several other ranges and gun stores and plenty of cool stuff in the area. It's really a pretty good place to be for a guns and gear nut.

Welcome to the area.

Hey Chief... Welcome to KY... I know you piped up on my thread about trying to get a MD class in KY... I think that a RSKTKR class may work out to be quicker to get here... I just posted a thread to see if I can get people interested. here is the link.

Saw that last night, and I probably need to do some research before I weigh-in one way or the other. Given my schedule, MD would have been a stretch, but one well worth making. Just not as immediately famliar with RSKTKR.

Hey Chief do they still sell firearms in the PX at Knox?

[Army Chief]

Indeed!

As of this past weekend, they a SA SOCOM-16, FN PS-90, KAC SR-15 (!!), Steyr AUG-A3, DPMS .308, LWRC piston gun, various FN tactical bolt guns, various Remington 700 bolt guns, Colt 9mm AR and about a half-dozen other rifles that I would have gladly taken home with me. 6.8 ammo and mags, too. I was floored!

You have to keep in mind that I've been overseas for most of the past 10 years, and I didn't even realize the PX was selling guns again -- much less guns of this quality. I almost fell over when I saw the Knight's AR. Prices seem competitive, too.

I need to amend the latter part of my previous post. The Knox PX definitely still sells firearms -- good ones -- but their pricing is not especially competitive. It is pretty close to typical retail for a shop that stocks through an intermediary distributor, which is, in fact, the case.

For example, I've been shopping for an AUG, SR-15 or ACR, and did some basic AUG research as a test case. MSRP is right around $2,300, and the PX was about $50 under that. Trouble is, you can find AUG A3s pretty easily (Gordon Miller, Pete Athens) for well under $2,000. Same situation for the ACR, save for the fact that the PX doesn't have one, has never had one, and has no idea when they might get one.

I'll shop elsewhere, and just do all of my transfers through Superior or Knob Creek.
