Couldn't make it to the Dallas store that weekend - even if I could its still a good haul. I pass this place twice a day.

I've purchased several items from SWFA over the past few years. Among those things are two really good riflescopes with the SWFA brand. . . . . which you can't buy at GT Distributors.

Does this mean they're moving from Red Oak?

Yes. From what they've told me, there have been a number of break ins/attempted break ins and they can't get out quick enough.

I haven't talked to them since they broke ground. At that time they were thinking Thanksgiving. I would say right before Christmas - fingers crossed.

I'm retiring soon. If they opened a cigar lounge, I could hang out there 24/7. ;-)

It's a huge facility but most of it is manufacturing and warehouse space. I believe they said their showroom area will be a couple thousand sqft. This is a vast improvement over the 12x12 room with a service counter that they currently have in Red Oak.

One major problem with SWFA - being in TX, I'd get nicked for sales tax on anything I bought from them; that means there's an automatic 8.25% price differential they have to overcome vs. their competitors.

Only if you break the law. http://www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/use/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can't wait to browse the showroom. :hurry:

Since you drive by a couple of times each day, be sure to post when you see the OPEN sign.
