In 1973 my parents bought a farm in East Texas; I was 12 years old. For 34 years while traveling I 20 I can always remember seeing Wileys Gun Shop sign and always wanted to stop. At the age of 46 I finally did. I originally stopped just to look and to check if they might have clips for a pistol that has been out of production for 30 years. After a few minutes of looking; she returned with 2. As I was about to pay I was asked ""What?s your hurry. Look around. ?I did and ended up buying a Springfield 1911 .45. Now that my long winded story is over..... Any store that has been open for 35 years must be doing something right! I am not a frequent purchaser of firearms. but any future purchases will be from Wileys. If you?re just out for a drive and see the sign; stop by. You will scratch your head wondering where the place is, but keep going; you will find it.
