Full description and what we offer
L & R Arms Exchange has been the go-to firearms dealer in Durant, Iowa since 1988. Located at 1139 Underwood Ave, they operate as a full-service gun shop handling everything from new rifle sales to used gun trades to firearm transfers.
Buying & Selling Firearms - Stock handguns, rifles, and shotguns for purchase - Buy used firearms from customers - Competitive valuations and fair pricing - Inventory rotates regularly based on customer needs
Gun Trades Swap your current firearm for something else in inventory without a full cash transaction. Their staff appraises your gun and walks you through finding a trade match from their selection.
Firearm Transfers Handling transfers from private sellers or online purchases. They manage all paperwork, conduct required background checks, and ensure everything stays compliant with federal and Iowa regulations.
Ammunition Sales Stock covers calibers from .22 short all the way up to .50—basically everything in between. They carry self-defense loads, target ammunition, and hunting rounds.
Accessories Holsters, magazines, grips, scopes, sights, cleaning supplies, cases, and knives. Staff helps match accessories to your specific firearms and shooting style.
Safety Training Hands-on instruction in safe firearm handling, storage, maintenance, and usage. Training happens in-store or can be customized for different experience levels.
Consultation Services Personalized guidance on firearm selection, safety practices, and training options. They take time to understand what you actually need rather than pushing inventory.
Quick Tip: Contact them before buying online—they may already have the item in stock, sometimes faster and cheaper than mail orders.

After nearly four decades, they've built a reputation on straight talk and fair dealing. No corporate scripting—the staff actually knows firearms and answers questions directly. They emphasize responsible ownership, compliance, and creating a welcoming space whether you're buying your first gun or trading up your fifth.
Their approach to transfers reflects this: they don't just process paperwork, they explain what's happening and why it matters legally. Same with accessories—they listen to what you shoot before recommending what you need.
"Firearms are not just tools; they're a part of your lifestyle, passion, and sometimes even a legacy."
