This ammo crunch has caused me to dig through and find out what I actually have on hand. Found an old box of Winchester 6mm Remington ammo. $11.59 pride tag still on it. (Bonus points if you remember Oshman’s.)

One daughter's first job was at Oshman's. She always thought of me as a bit racist, until Holy Week and our neighbors to the south invaded the store. MAN, she was cranky. roflmao

How about Gibsons and TG&Y. I think I’ve still got 22 ammo from both places.

There's a Gibsons in Weatherford that's better than any Gibsons I've ever been in. Lots of firearms and supplies, but, they were out of primers too.

Between 1980 and 1995 Lewisville had a Gibson's and an Oshman's...or was Oshman's in Denton?

League City or Friendswood had a TG&Y between 1974 and 1980.


Pass the gravy.

The first time I ever saw an AR-15 in person was at the Oshman's in Port Lavaca in 1983.

Just my .02,

Oshmans on Forest Lane in Dallas.

I remember getting on the "list" for a Model 29 after Dirty Harry came out. Oshman's was selling them at retail about $400 if I remember correctly.

I also LOVED the one near Northpark 75 & Park Lane.

My dad bought me an UZI for my 13th birthday from the Oshmans in the Golden Triangle Mall.


Trolling? Heck no, I meant every word of it.

The Gibsons was there in the late 70s. It’s the only one I remember seeing. We moved east in 81 and that when I encountered TG&Y. It was in Terrell, which was the closest town for any kind of shopping. It’s also where I saw George straight on his Walmart tour.

My uncle cleaned out some junk a few months ago. He sent me a bag full of once fired factory brass etc. and amongst it was a single box of Remington 30-06 180 grain corlocts. I posted about them a little bit back as they only chronographed at an average of 2500 FPS and change with an almost 200 FPS extreme spread over 5 shots.

The price tag on the box was $6 and change I believe. Anyhow I wanted to use them up because I am short on 30-06 brass and can't just go out and buy some lol so i zeroed the gun with them. Took it out this weekend and shot a doe, dropped her DRT.
