My wife wanted to go to Athens shopping so I went around and spent about a hour in Franklins. They had a well balanced inventory, the store was clean and 5 clerks there. I arrived around 12:00 and was 1 of 2 customers there. I spoke with the day shift manager and he said their business had dried up about a month ago. If you want a gun it is a good time to deal with Franklins. I bought some reloading supplies but was tempted by several guns.
On the way home we stopped by the 3 pawn stores in Monroe. As usual the first 2 didn't have anything I wanted. At the 3rd they had a 95% 1992 Marlin 1895 for $400 so I bought it to replace 1 I had traded off last year. I would value the rifle at $550-600. It is my first purchase of the year.
