DFW is big. What part?
Gunmaster in Plano has a decent selection. They also sell reloading components so maybe you'll get lucky and find something you need. Frisco gun club also sells a bunch of used guns |

Jackson Armory for used guns. Rifle Gear or Scheels for new guns and gear.

If you are up for a little drive:
Wild West Pawn in Sherman Best Pawn Superstore Sherman-Denison line has many hundreds of firearms I understand The Gun Store in St. Jo is very good |

Quoted: I’ll be in the DFW area soon and I always like to check out local gun stores when I visit new places. What are some good gun stores to check out that have a healthy used gun selection? TIA doesn't get any better for old used guns than Murle's Guns in Granbury |

Who was it that was going to check it out and report back? I'm going to go look for that thread... Edit: looks like it's archived already. |

I have jobs up there and I haven’t spotted a gun store in the past there. |

Quoted: doesn't get any better for old used guns than Murle's Guns in Granbury Used guns, sure. Not any that Murle is like to sell him, though. Perhaps a museum instead? Quoted: Definitely on the fringe of the metroplex, but absolutely the best! Who was it that was going to check it out and report back? I'm going to go look for that thread... Edit: looks like it's archived already. That thread was pretty good. OP: Really, don't waste your time or patience going to Murle's. Google that old asshole if you need convincing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I finally got in there last week! LOLz Everything we said was accurate, wasn't it? Cool little gun store with lots of old junk, old guns, new guns, etc... Would be a really cool store if it weren't for that one single thing behind the counter in the corner of the shop. |

I am definitely not a "people person", yet I have never had any issue with Murle the half dozen times I've stopped in his shop while passing through Granbury, and I have bought a few things from him too ?? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Everything we said was accurate, wasn't it? Cool little gun store with lots of old junk, old guns, new guns, etc... Would be a really cool store if it weren't for that one single thing behind the counter in the corner of the shop. I had never heard of this shop and was intrigued, surely can't be that bad[1]. But every rating on the net has a similar story, Yelp is 18 reviews, consistent 1 stars dating back to 2013. https://www.yelp.com/biz/murles-gunsmith-shop-and-sports-headquarters-granbury OP, not mentioned yet was Winchester Gallery in Fort Worth, or Ray's Hardware & Sporting Goods in Dallas. Note [1] - I am always EXTREMELY sympathetic to gun shop employees, especially range personnel. Always give them a huge benefit of the doubt in any "range nazi" story I hear on the net. Any responsible gun owner gets upset when you get swept at the range, or any other safety or etiquette breach... Shops and ranges see that multiple times per day, it's just natural they are a little prickly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks for the tips everyone! Is the shooting gallery the same store as the Winchester Gallery? I think it's all the same operation, but I'm not sure if you pay for range stuff in the main store or what. I've only been there for LTC class, and looked through the shop decades ago. Keep your head on a swivel around there. Military Gun Supply used to have a retail store a bit south of there on 820, but it's closed now. Got a lot of good deals out of them in the early days (Greek HXP .303 for $5/50...wahhhh) |

I’m currently burning through some $2.39 per box 7.62x39 with my new ZPAP M70. |

Forgot about them, also fun to visit at least once. Omaha's Military Surplus is also worth a visit if you want surplus and commercial military stuff. New location doesn't have the old crazy vibe of the old one though IMHO. Still good folks but it's like a regular store now, not a magic warehouse where you never knew what you would find. |

We ended up going to Jackson Armory, Ray’s and Omaha’s today. Jackson Armory was definitely the coolest, most old guns I have seen in one place that wasn’t a museum. Some of their pricing was a little crazy but it seems like they are getting it because of Gunbroker. Thanks for the recommendations all. We were going to go south and check out the others but ran out of time when the wife left her purse at Torchys.
