Owner "Big Chuck" has been selling and repairing guns for more than forty years. Whether it's building ARs from scratch, or rebuilding a Colt Mustang... Big Chuck can pretty much do it all. If you need a significant repair or just a simple cleaning, please stop by or give us a call. Some repairs are easy and can be done quickly, while others may take some time to order parts, etc.
As always, try to stop by on a Saturday when we BBQ for our customers. We just ask that you bring your favorite beverage to share and we'll provide some good food to go along with it. Saturdays are a great way to meet up with other gun enthusiasts and have conversation with like-minded folks.
In the past, we have had fun things like wild boar chili, kangaroo tacos, venison, and even elk. We even make sure to have hot dogs and nachos for the kiddos, so feel free to bring them along! In short, you never know what you will find to eat on our Saturday BBQ's but you'll always find great company!
Our motto is "An old-fashion gun store" just like Chuck's childhood memories in the San Joaquin Valley visiting the local gun store with his dad, and we pride ourselves in being just that.
Come on by and see what we mean....
Chuck is a combat vet, who served in the Vietnam War....we are grateful to him for his service! He is also a walking encyclopedia of most things guns, so it only makes sense he followed his dream to own and operate a gun store with the same homely vibe as the one he visited as a kid with his dad.
Chuck's oldest daughter Carolyn is the Operations Manager. She is also fully licensed and will one day proudly take the reigns.
His grandson Brian handles our Gunbroker site, is our tech guru and has become a great resource for gun research.
On occasion, you will even find Chuck's great-grandson Sevyn hanging around the shop representing the 4th generation.
Tami handles our sales counter. She is extremely knowledgeable in firearms and loves walking first timers through their options and making sure they're comfortable with the process.
Mark is our gunsmith alongside Chuck, and takes great pride in his work. He also is constantly thriving to learn new things and take on new challenges.
Last but not least we have Mary, who keeps us clean and orderly. She knows we have men, women and children visit us so she makes sure they all feel comfortable. We weren't surprised when we got a Google review strictly dedicated to how clean our floors are!
