Lever Action Gun ShopLever rifles and single-action revolversOrder online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Tarrant County. Fort Worth calls itself where the West begins, and the Stockyards still run a longhorn cattle drive down Exchange Avenue twice a day. The National Cowgirl Museum and the Amon Carter's Remington and Russell paintings sit in the Cultural District.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Texas law allows.
Texas adds no state layer to the federal process. There is no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period, and dealers run the NICS check directly with the FBI. At pickup you show a current photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and wait for the check, which usually takes minutes. Federal ages apply: 18 for a lever-action rifle, 21 for a revolver. The firearm ships to the Texas dealer you name, who sets their own transfer fee.
Dealers in these communities all work for Fort Worth-area buyers:
Texas has allowed permitless handgun carry since September 2021 for adults 21 and over who may lawfully possess a firearm, openly in a holster or concealed, which covers a single action in a belt holster. The optional License to Carry is issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety and helps with reciprocity and some posted locations. Schools, courthouses, polling places and properly posted private property stay off limits with or without a license.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sets white-tailed deer seasons by county, with a North Zone and a South Zone and separate mule deer rules in the Panhandle and Trans-Pecos. The general season opens on the first Saturday of November and runs into January, with archery from early October and youth weekends around it. Centerfire rifles, handguns, muzzleloaders and shotguns with slugs are legal. Feral hogs may be hunted year-round with a hunting license and landowner permission. Bag limits differ by county, so read the current Outdoor Annual.
Fort Worth sits in the Texas North Zone, and the LBJ National Grasslands to the northwest has public hunting and a public shooting range. Hogs are common on private land around the metro.
The Stockyards and the rodeo keep Western gear on the street year-round. Ranch country starts quickly west on Interstate 20, where hogs and whitetail share the cedar and mesquite.
The public ranges on the city pages are run or listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest, chosen by distance from each city. Fees, hours and allowed firearms are set by the agency or the club that manages the range.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Arlington, Benbrook, Haltom City, Fort Worth or anywhere in Tarrant County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
No. Texas has no purchase permit or waiting period; the dealer runs the federal check at 18 for rifles and 21 for handguns.
Yes, from 21, holstered or concealed, outside schools, courts, polling places and posted property.
Texas sets no minimum caliber for deer with centerfire rifles, but a .357 is a short-range cartridge; keep shots close and use a bullet built for deer.
At feeder range with a bullet built for hogs, yes; a .45-70 hits harder for big boars. Check night hunting and public land rules.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
