On my way back to Victoria from a 7 day hitch in Galveston I stopped in at Carroll's Gun Shop in Wharton, Tx off US. 59.
What I found was one of the finest establishments I have ever stepped foot in. The staff was very helpful and professional, in fact I have never encountered a more knowledgable group of people in one place at one time. I am not nearly articulate enough to describe how refreshing an experiance it was compared to some of the shops in the area.
I am in the market for an AR-15, but I have very little experience or knowledge about the operation of this firearm. When I inquired about this the attendent responded with a wealth of knowledge, from the operation of the safety to the forward assist. I thought for sure he had taken AR-15 101 in college or something.
There were no negative statments made about how one firearm, round or load was worthless but how another may be more suited for the purpose.
I made it known from the begining that I was not there to buy a firearm (as I always do when ''window shopping'') but was there to look at prices and ask about trade in values they could give. Without going into numbers I will say I was impressed. The prices, new and used, were very reasonable. The shop was very well organized, well stocked, and had a rustic decor I could only hope to decorate my home in some day.
I would like to add that this is an unusually long post for me as I do not type well and have a dislocated shoulder.
As a disclamer, I am in no way afiliated with Carroll's Gun Shop, nor do I own stock or have anything to gain from this post. I just thought it would be a welcome change from the ''gun shop'' posts we usualy see here on THR
