Texas firearm owners have options

Texas has an active firearm culture and a deep private market, which is both an advantage and a complication. Private sales are common, but they put the entire burden of vetting the buyer, arranging payment and confirming the transaction on the seller.

Selling to a licensed buyer

Nortex Guns holds a Federal Firearms License with licensed North Texas location, Texas. Transactions are handled in accordance with applicable federal, state and local requirements.

For sellers in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, local evaluation may be available depending on the size of the collection. Sellers elsewhere in Texas typically use our shipping process.

Where we work most

We are based in North Texas and regularly work with sellers across the DFW metroplex, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Denton, Plano, Frisco, McKinney and Coppell.
