I recently purchased a firearm and did the private party transfer through Jones' Fort. I live seven…read morehours away so this purchased required two trips up north to the store as well as multiple calls with questions that I had. Each phone was answered by friendly staff. They were patient and answered any questions that I had. In store I got to deal with both Jaime and Jacob. Both of these guys were very friendly, helpful, and professional! Had great conversations both times in was in the shop. I didn't experience anything like previous negative reviews indicated. I think they may have gotten a bad rap! All in all a great place for all your firearm needs!

I should have read the reviews before walking into this place…read more I walked in and immediately was asked to show ID. Didn't think much of it since I thought this was the store policy or something. I was greeted by a younger gentleman, he was very helpful and seemed eager to answer my questions about a firearm while the older man was very condescending and nudging him to stop talking to me. I felt like I was not welcome in their store. Every question I asked the older man was answered with an excuse on why they couldn't help me. None of the other customers that walked in while I was there were asked to show ID. Then after reading all the other reviews I realized it wasn't because they couldn't, but because they didn't want to help me. Also their prices are way to high. Redding guns, the gun cave, Bastiani arms and sportsman's have always been very friendly and helpful. I'll be going to them for any future purchases.

I've only visited this business twice, but I already look at it as my go-to gun store in Redding…read more Today cinched it: I had a revolver with a dragging cylinder, and happened to catch one of their gunsmiths at an idle moment. In fifteen minutes, he corrected the problem for a reasonable fee. Look, y'all, I actually like that place across town that doubles as a pawn shop. The guys there are friendly and knowledgeable enough, but sheesh, sometimes I wish I could find an Army cot to nap on while I'm waiting to talk to someone. I recently bought a gun at THAT place, and paid fifteen dollars less than what Bastiani Arms charges. But then, if I'd bought the gun at Bastiani, I'd have about an hour of my life handed back to me. If saving every dollar is important to you (and believe me, I can get behind that with my Scottish ancestry 'n all), go to that other place and wade through the throngs of people as you wait for what passes for customer service. But, if you're willing to pay a few bucks more (or in the case of a brick of .22 ammo, eighty cents more) to deal with a shop that has it together, go see the folks at Bastiani Arms. Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for.

I had ordered a custom barrel for my Remington 700, it came to me with a raw finish. I searched for…read moreplaces that would do a blue or parkerized finish. I found a couple highly rated places on the East Coast, but not much inside CA except for Hot Flash Refinishing. I was able to find a few good reviews on the BBB.org and on CalGuns so I reached out to them by email. Scott responded to each of my emails the following morning. He answered all of questions and gave his professional opinion when requested. I felt extremely comfortable sending him my rifle. He originally quoted 3 weeks to get my rifle back, but it came back to me after 1 week. I was extremely happy with the results. The barrel looks great and my receiver and bolt look new again. I would recommend Scott & HFR to anyone and would use them again.
