Basalt Firearms - Basalt, Colorado

Knowledgeable and honest staff. Being young and relatively new to firearms I expect to be patronized, but these guys made me feel welcome and obviously had an extensive knowledge on the firearms they were selling. Good prices too would expect more of a price gouge in this valley but their prices are fair

Basalt Firearms first class crew !!! We had two positive experience with them, first one was when we were told to go there to buy a fishing license, after making a large purchase at the fly shop(no fishing license there)?. Larry at the gun shop fixed us up, not much profit on fishing license. Noticed a Uberti Walker black powder revolver, went back to buy it the next day, great find, great guys. Thanks Basalt Firearms.

First time gun-owner here. Spent $1000 of my hard-earned money here on a gun and accessories a few weeks ago. Service then was great, I’m assuming it’s mostly because I had a wad of $100s. Walked into store yesterday looking for ammo for my new gun so I could practice with it. Seems 9mm is hard to come by. Understood, strange times. When I asked about knowledge of future deliveries, the man who answered couldn’t even be bothered to look up or address me, just a “don’t know.” Now, I understand that things probably don’t show up on their doorstep all willy-nilly, as it doesn’t happen to me and has never really happened at any of the establishments I have worked for. That’s ok. I’m sure they also don’t want a line out the door on 9mm day. Either way, love the lie. When I asked these fine gentlemen, who are clearly experts in their craft, if they had a preferred website to order from after we both determined that that was the best way for me to procure said ammo in not so many words, I got back the answer “there’s a ton.” Informative for sure. I know I’m in the minority here as I don’t have a ton of money to spend and I’m not their biggest customer by far, but as the store that popped my cherry on this whole thing I was hoping for much more than just a couple of uninterested douchebags. I 100% regret giving them my money in the first place. I love my new paperweight though! (j/k, I bought some rounds from the kind and helpful people at the co-op!)

I went into Basalt Firearms the other day to buy some gear and put a rifle on consingment. I read the other post but it is from a year ago when they were just getting this shop off the ground.
They have a great staff now, lots of stuff and no mountain pricing. I replied to the manager how much cool stuff is in such a small store.
I will be back. I was very happy doing business with Basalt Fire Arms and will continue to do so..

i have had VERY good interactions at Basalt Firearms, sold one gun to them, and definately will buy one at some point. i have gone there with friends (new gun owners) to help them purchase their first gun, and have had nothing but great experiences, i did not even say a word as Larry and (the old guy, sorry dont remember your name) were absolutely honest and helpful. they steered my friend to a practical, great skeet gun. they did not try to sucker him into a fancy gun, nor did they treat him like a newbie.
it is very rare in this area to have fair prices on ANYTHING especially firearms. Not to mention the used guns that go through there. (i missed buying a BEAUTIFUL nickel plated S&W 357 and am still kicking myself.. the price was more than right...)

i have read the negative reviews on them and conclude that they are to be taken with a grain of salt. i would wager IF this even happened, they may have prompted some of it themselves with their own behavior. some folks just look for problems then write a negative review.

GREAT STORE, GREAT SERVICE and honest. also, keep an eye out for Glock Day! or any of the support days for shooting enthusiasts. buy local!

This was my first handgun purchase in the Roaring Fork Valley. Five stars because: a) the price was as good as I could get online, b) excellent service during the purchase, and c) they were very helpful when I checked back with a question. Highly recommended.

These guys are great. Traded in a Beretta 3901 and got a great offer and went home with a nice home defense shotgun. Very reasonable prices given the location!

Friendly staff, prices may be a little higher but you save time not having to drive up and down the mountain.
