SHOP metalbuckle.png

It all started with an FFL to collect historic firearms and an interest in bringing Southern gun culture to New Prague.


Now, you can enjoy shopping in person or online for guns for sale. We also have accessories for your firearms, and a few unique treats, too.

Testimonials

Firearms are our passion, but even a gun shop with a shooting range is no more than a well-maintained set of lanes until it's filled with people who value relationships, community, and country. Starting with humble origins in Austin's townhome basement, 2 If By Sea Tactical has grown to a 10,000 square foot facility in New Prague's Historic Mill area -- all thanks to the care of our staff and the loyalty of our customers. Here's what they say:

I have been a customer since 2021 and Austin has gone above and beyond since day one. Austin is a gun nerd and will gladly take the time to teach you anything you wanna know about firearms. He even has a YouTube channel that has show cases some amazing pieces of history. If you are a first time buyer or looking to add to your collection, Austin and the 2 If By Sea Tactical team will help you find the perfect match.
