Milsurp Market?

I'm trying to sell a WW2 production No4 Mk1 Lee Enfield with a lot of extras on the side, but I haven't been able to sell it through my usual avenues (LGS, TGT, etc). Is there some sort of Texas-only message board specifically for military collectors interested in buying battle rifles? Because I'm stumped on where else I could try to sell this thing

Is Texas Gun Trader Down?

I have noticed that TGT has been very slow, like 15-20 seconds between each click.

Also, I have been getting a lot of "500 Internal Server Error" messages.

Anyone else been seeing this?

Can I buy a gun or do I need to apply for an appeal

When I was younger (17) I was put into a mental institution for a couple days involuntary due to a poor choice of words that I shouldn’t have said, around the time of Covid, it’s been a couple years now and I’m looking to buy a gun, but I’m unsure if it gets in the way or not, some places I read says I have to apply for an Appeal and others say I should be able to, I’ve been to the range and shit with my friends and such, I just don’t own my own, I just don’t really want to go apply somewhere and get rejected and have some problem with it come up

Anyone wanna blow up my car

Got a junk car in Kyle and just need it gone. Take it for free. Don’t run so it would have to be towed. If you are close enough I might be able to pay for towing.

Carrying a pistol

If you are 18 years old can you legally carry a pistol? I know that you have to be 21 to buy a pistol but can you carry one if you are under that age?

Academy

I have been talking to some people about a reputable place to buy my first gun in San Antonio. I have a few people telling me to avoid Academy. Has anyone had issues with Academy before? I’ve been to a few shops already and the gun I currently want I’ve only found it at one place, but they had just sold it. I have found it at Academy, but some people are saying that they’ve had issues buying firearms in the past from academy and so they don’t buy there anymore. I just was trying to find some guidance on whether I should keep trying to look at shops or since I know they have it at academy. Just go and get it from there.

Family Protection

Recently moved from Washington and absolutely LOVE IT HERE. FISHING, FOOTBALL AND FAMILY!!!

I’m a long haul truck driver and unfortunately have to leave my family for weeks at a time in some cases. With no family out here, I’m constantly worried about the safety of my wife and kids.

With a clean criminal record, I’m BEGGING my wife to get something (ANYTHING) to give me a little peace of mind while I’m on the road. Been on TGT for a couple weeks but some say it’s full of scammers or flakes. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL!! Make model? Caliber? Like I said, any suggestions help.

How Lucky Are Y'all?

I'm sitting on a couple guns I'd like to move in order to attain 2-3 specific guns and I've been unable to move them as quickly as I'm used to. Usually this wouldn't be a big deal, TGT tends to come through eventually no matter what, but I swear this ALWAYS happens when I'm in the market for a new gun and trying to sell or trade old ones to afford it. Am I the only one this happens to, or do y'all have better luck than I do? I've had it happen maybe once or twice in my time as an owner where I've had at least a somewhat decent or fair trade for correct values on both sides, but much better luck with just selling and putting the cash towards the next item. I can't even begin about the ammo and accessories side though, like I've been storing the same fancy Mosin ammo, sling, and bayonet in a corner for months and can't be bothered to list it since everybody wants it bundled with a rifle. Just seems like maybe the market's dry right now or I'm not getting the correct pairs of eyes on my stuff, not sure if y'all relate

Any Gun Range in DFW area doing solo rentals ?

Hi all, I'll be in the DFW area for work for a few days. Is there any range renting firearms to solo people if not bringing your own ? I'm aware of why most ranges have that rule... it' just a PITA.

TIA

Just moved to this awesome state from CA

No I’m not here to change your state I love being here and am embracing the freedom especially when it comes to firearms. I’m also here for military reasons so work more or less. That being said I left a couple stripped lowers I bought in CA when I lived there and forgot to pack em and I would like to get em sent here now that I live in TX. Anyone had a similar issue like this before and would they have to be sent to an FFL? Brought all my other hardware already that’s fully built or just another gun for that matter. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Gun laws?

Hey guys, just recently turned 21 about a month ago and moved to Houston Texas about a year ago from New York. As y’all know the gun laws in NY are beyond different from those here and i just need some help. Been thinking of getting a handgun for home self defense and just a little confused. Can i really just walk into a store and buy one since i’m 21? I assume they have to do the whole background check and stuff but in New York it was a long extensive process along with needing a license. Just curious and excited to hopefully own my first handgun, thanks guys!

i need help picking a good handgun

so i have decided that owning a handgun would make me feel more safe alone in public. i have shot several guns before ranging from small handguns to large shotguns. my issue is that those were all my dads guns and i don't remember what each gun was for or what it was exactly.

i am looking for a medium weight gun that is reliable, doesn't have a ton of kickback and is more wallet friendly, this would be primarily used for self defense. i would be buying a holster to go with it so take that into consideration. TIA

EDIT to add: i am in the austin area but travel to the lubbock area occasionally

San Antonio/Austin Milsurp

Any good brick-and-mortar stores that sell military surplus rifles/older firearms in the SATX/Austin area or their outskirts? I know online shopping for is likely a better option, but I enjoy going in person sometimes. Thanks!

Purchasing a pistol

I live in nc, I’ll be visiting Texas in February to see an old friend of mine. I know since I’m not a resident of Texas that I can’t purchase a firearm. But I’d like to do something for my buddy as a belated birthday gift. So if he went and got something and I just gave him my card then would that be legal? Or would I be considered the purchaser thus making the transaction illegal? I know cash is an option but if don’t have to go to the atm then I won’t lol.
