If you are reading this now, you are missing a beautiful day at the range.

Lots of new stuff coming in!  This is a Savage MK II bolt action 22 LR.  It is an accurate and fun to shoot  firearm and, considering the price, it is an absolutely amazing buy. This version is $445.00

We are doing good with .22 LR ammo for range shooting. 

You can purchase this for your son or daughter for $220.00.  The RGV Shooters is having another gun safety course on June 29.  Send the lucky kid to the class.  

If you purchase both, you get free brownies!  Ok, you get free brownies anyway, but they taste better when you have a new rifle.

For those of you who read down to here - Congratulations. We finally got in a Ruger 10/22 autoloading rifle 22LR.  Sweet rifle.  This is one of Ruger's top selling models.  In fact, it is the top selling rifle in the U.S. according to the Ruger website.  BTW Ruger is in Connecticut where they cannot sell most of the firearms they make there.  Send them an email and invite them to move to Texas.

A while back we had someone called and asked if we had this model Ruger in stock.   Call right away if you still want it.  These do not last long on the shelves.

We also have this interesting previously loved Chinese Type 53 Rifle, 7.62x54r, 5 round, Nagant Bolt Action.  This is the Chinese version of an AK.  The history is fascinating.  Seems the Chinese saw the Russian carbines and wanted a version for themselves.  This is basically a Mosin Nagant.  You can read about it here.  The solid wood stock has been professionally refurbished and looks great.   The price is $199.00.  These are not commonly found in this good of condition. 

We do have 7.62x54r ammo in stock.

The remodeling is still in progress.  The entrance has been changed so you go right into the shop instead of that hallway.  The shop is over twice the size and we are still crowded in here!  When you come in, look to your right for the brownies.

The gunsmith's days and hours are Wednesday through Sunday.  Say hi when you come in.

Happy UTB/TSC Graduation Weekend!

We are open and the road is dry.  Good news for shooters not such good news for farmers and our water shortage.  The remodeling is still in progress and getting better and better looking every day.

We have some new firearms come in.  This Mossberg 12 Gage is super cool. This one is not for sissys! Yes, it really is a shotgun.

We always ask you fire before you buy to make sure that is the right one for you.  This one we may not have to have you fire.  It is right for everyone. 

We also have thisCore15.  The price is $1,000 and we give you one dollar back!  Who could ask for a better deal.  Oh, and free brownies. 

We only post specials once a week on the website.  If you want to get more up to date news or talk to a real person Friend us on Facebook. Massey's Gun Shop and Range

Now that you new UTB/TSC grads have an extra day, remember you have a free day at the range.

If we do get the rain that was predicted and you get stuck out here we will fire up the pontoon boat and drop you off at the bridge!!

What is happening in May

First, and most important, we moved the brownies to the new area of the shop.  When you come, look for them.  They will probably move a couple more times until we finish the remodeling.  We all know you cannot hit the target without a brownie.

Tomorrow, Sunday the 5th we have a Concealed Handgun Class.  You need to be here at 8 a.m.  in the morning.  It is beautiful here at that time of day.  Do not eat a big breakfast because we heard that the menu for lunch is spaghetti.  YUMMMMMMM

The RGV Shooters had a safety class today with seven participants.  It was a great experience.   Each participant had his or her own private instructor.  Thanks to the RGV Shooters who took time out of their Saturday to provide the expertise.  If you missed this class and would like to sign up for another one, let us know.  We would love to host more.  The money the club earns gos towards better competition equipment.  Join the club and join the fun.

Special this week is this little Derringer .22LR from Cobra Enterprises of Utah Inc. 

The picture makes it look big, but look at the quarter to get an idea of the size.  It is black with a white pearl handle.  Pretty classy.  For men it should be worn with a tux or dress suit.  For ladies we recommend a long gown with an ankle holster or rhinestone evening bag.  

Regular price $169.  This weekend only $149.

It is a beautiful weekend at the range

Our special this week is an M&P 40 Shield for $550.00. This is a great gun, hard to find. It is compact enough for personal defense but also fun for target shooting.

This won't last long on the shelf so let us know if you are interested.  

If you have not already, like our page on Facebook, Massey's GunShop

We are headed to May and graduation.  On May 11 and 12 graduates from UTB and TSC can have a free day at the range!    Bring your own gun or rent one of ours. Or, bring grandma with you!  Sneak out and take a break from grandma and relax.

We have ammo to shoot while at the range.  It looks as if things will get better for ammo hunters.  We have all fingers and toes crossed.

Friday the Senate held a hearing on the ammo shortage.  You can watch Friday's festivities of the congressional  hearing on government agencies procurement of ammunition.   Below is a  YouTube video of the discussion.

Meet our New Gunsmith!

Out best news of the week is our new Gunsmith, Dathan Flores has arrived.  He just graduated and has amazing skills:  Polish and Blue, Drill and Tap, Stock Refinishing, General Repair, Disassemble, Clean, Oil, and Assemble.  

We will be adding a page for him this week so you can learn more about what he can do.  Now that guns are hard to find, think about refurbishing the old ones you love.  We are all set up now  durocoat firearms. 

The remodeling is making huge progress!  It is organized confusion here today as we move displays and furniture into the new area.  The brownies have moved but they are on the same stand so you can find them easily.

We are cleaning out the back and have been finding lots of treasures.  Come by and see what we found.  We will be giving special prices to our special customers.

When you come out, or send us a message on what you would like to see in the new space.  We would like to put in furniture and food to encourage people to stick around and enjoy the company before or after you shoot.



We got some ammo in this week, 40, 45, 380 and some other misc. ammo.  We still sell only to shoot on the range, but we are hoping that this is the start of things easing up.

Whats Happening!

Lots going on in the gun world.  Our favorite person ever is the Governor of Connecticut and our second is Perry who has invited all the gun manufacturers in Connecticut to come to Texas.

If you have not heard already, the Conn. Gov. casually mentioned that all gun manufacturers would "Sell their guns to anyone." angering a whole bunch of businesses in his state.  Forbes magazine did an interesting article on him.

Governor Perry has told all the gun manufacturers in Connecticut that they are welcome to have a home in Texas.  It would be great to have them in the Valley.  Check out this list of manufacturers.  It is impressive.  I personally am cheering for Colt and Mossburg!  And RUGER!  YES!

We are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  The range closes at 7 but you need to get there by 6.

If you have not already, join our Facebook account:   Masseys Gunshop

Our 22 competition is at 10 a.m.  Our Kathy wins almost every time.  We need new competitors to challenge our regulars.     

The RGV Shooters have a night shoot Saturday.  Sorry, it was invitation only and filled up.  Go to their website and see what other events they have going.  http://www.rgvshooters.com

Texas Carbine has a multigun shoot on Sunday.  Hammer down is at 10 a.m. but you need to be there by 9:30 for registration and the safety meeting.    http://texascarbine.com

We have an add out at the Island and in Brownsville.  You can see it in restaurants, super markets, and recreation areas.   Let us know if you see it.  The opening shot is a visitor to the range shooting our machine gun.  You gotta see his face!  

See you at the range!

What is happening for this week at Massey's

Just in is the SCCY (pronounced "sky") a compact 9mm CPX-2.  Special this weekend is $299.00.  We have two, the one pictured with stainless and one stainless black nitride finish.  They are nice sized for concealed carry, but large enough for fun target practice.

We have ammo this weekend for shooting on the range.

Tomorrow, Sunday, April 7 we have our Concealed Handgun Course.  This is a one day course that gives you all the information and paperwork you need to obtain your Concealed Handgun License. 

Lots of people take this course and don't intend to carry.  They do this because it is easier to purchase firearms.  Instead of completing the federal forms and undergoing a background check, you can just present your CHL and the firearm is yours.

We also have lots of people who take it just to know more about firearm safety, laws and to know more about handling firearms. 

To get more information, click here.  You do not have to registrar to attend.  Just show up at 8 a.m.  We provide a great lunch. 

You may want to come and use our shotgun range this weekend.  Lots of shotgun ammo and it is a good time to sharpen your skills.  We have clays here or you can bring your own.  We have over/unders in our rentals.  Tons of fun!
