Sounds like a business opportunity!They're the only game in town for me. Nearest other place to get guns or ammo is 30+ miles away.

What kewl pews are you looking for? I’ve put up a scorpion evo3 have an AUG up, plenty of nice bolt actions come through, Nice AK’s, machine guns even. Glocks and AR’s seem to be floating around all the time. Or are you looking for some classic falling blocks, flint locks, cannons?No one here has the cool pews I want for sale. I do on occasion buy on here though.
This is also a statewide site and this place is huge. I'm not willing to drive more than a couple hours if I can order something local. I did get a PTR32 off of here though.What kewl pews are you looking for? I’ve put up a scorpion evo3 have an AUG up, plenty of nice bolt actions come through, Nice AK’s, machine guns even.

I’ll meet you in Hubbard when you buy my AUGThis is also a statewide site and this place is huge. I'm not willing to drive more than a couple hours if I can order something local. I did get a PTR32 off of here though.
I like non ar, roller delay, pcc, or old military usually.
Trust me, I looked at your ad more than once. It's in my like to haves for sure.I’ll meet you in Hubbard when you buy my AUG
I get it though, I max out at about an hour drive too. Unless it’s Nee Braunfels direction because I just turn it into a family weekend down there.
I have only bought a gun in Academy once. Filled out the 4473 and waited well over an hour before being told there was a hold on the background check. When I called several days later to see if the background check had cleared, I was told they had no record of the transaction. After about 30 minutes they called me and said the rifle was ready for pickup. If the item had been available anywhere within a few hours drive then I would not have gone back to Academy to complete the sale.Academy has always been anal about gun sales.
They even run a background check on LTC folks.
Once I ordered a .22mag bolt rifle from their website. Paid for it too. When it arrived at the store I went to get it. 1.5 HOURS from entering to leaving. Every yahoo in that store had to check, recheck, and check again. This was using the electronic 4473 to boot. Hory Clap. Thought I’d never get out of there.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact Academy employs the best rocket surgeons and brain scientists available. Just gotta roll with it.
My local gun pusher still does paper 4473’s. I’m outta there in 10-15 minutes tops.
Girl that walked me up had tight pants and a nice butt. I didn’t mind hey talking me up at all.I’ve bought 7 from them over the years. What I always hated was the wait times. There never seems to be enough people working the counter, so I’m in line with everyone else. Then, there’s always the wait for a manager to come proofread the form, and of course have to wait one somebody for the walk of shame to the front cash register
Really? I would have thought there's more options in San Marcos than that.They're the only game in town for me. Nearest other place to get guns or ammo is 30+ miles away.
Last I knew, Money & More Pawn in Kyle does transfers for $15 w/LTC.They're the only game in town for me. Nearest other place to get guns or ammo is 30+ miles away.

The Gochman family Academy is what most of us grew up with. I think they did a pretty good job catering to Texans needs. KKR has done a decent job with still keeping prices affordable on their items.
I agree with Glen B, about their pricing on ammo compared to most LGS. Is it as cheap as online.... no, but for a walk in brick & mortar location for convenience definitely cheaper than most LGS's.
I recommend that you find a small-time FFL operating out of his home, more like a hobby. Far better transfer cost and no BS.I used them as my ffl because someone is always there for the fedex man and they're open late which is nice for a working guy. My favorite local gun shop is closed half the week, opens at 11 etc.... Has caused more than one issue with delivery attempts. Guess it's back to the other overpriced local gun shop for my transfers.
Somebody please help Sam get that donkey out of that holeThat’s bullcrap. Don’t blame ya for not wanting to go back.
