Barnwood Arms

Came here for the first time to purchase a handgun and everyone was so helpful. Each employee was nice and made sure you were taken care of each step of the way. You were able to see any gun you were interested in and the wait time was low. The employees work as a team and you will almost be in contact with every one of them in some way during your visit. They won't force a certain product on you and will answer all questions you have.Note: When I went last Saturday, their indoor range was closed so if anyone is interested in the range not sure how long it'll be closed for but can't wait for it to reopen.They definitely got them a returning customer.

Barnwood has a decent section of new firearms in stock and a small selection of used guns for sale. They also have a good selection of gear and accessories. There is a small selection of gun safes in stock. They also offer deliver and install of gun safes. Assistance is not typically a problem in my experience. However, my visits have been during the week days. Barnwood is one of the few local gun shops that also have a gun range. They have a small gun range with about 7 or 8 bays. Rifles chamber in pistol calibers are okay to shoot. They do not allow tracer, armor piercing, steel core or frangible rounds. Range fees as of Jan 2020: $20 per person per hour. Minors under 18 are $10. You can rent firearms for $10-$15. You can purchase targets at the range. They also rent eye/ear protection for $4. They also offer different membership packages. I included a photo of that pricing.My only complaints about this shop is as follows: Gun transfer fees, my gun safe delivery & price matching local competitors. Their gun transfer fees are the highest in the area at $150 before DROS fees. You're looking at about $190 total. If you want to transfer two guns, you need to make an appointment and they do not do transfers on Saturdays. As for my gun safe, I ordered direct through the manufacture. The manufacture delivered to Barnwood for free and Barnwood was supposed to contact me. Unbeknownst to me, my safe had been delivered and sitting at Barnwood for amonths. They never contacted me to let me know it had been delivered. Barnwood and Sportsman's warehouse both had the same make/model rifle in stock that I wanted to purchase. Sportsman's was $150 cheaper. Barnwood would not price march the rifle. If you can look past some of my complaints above, you will most likely have a good experience here. If you are looking for the best price, you made need to look elsewhere.

Came in with my family to buy bullets and practice shooting our new gun. Everything was great until it wasn't. My sister went with the hostage target and the employee who has my ID in hand who clearly sees I'm middle eastern goes "we like to call this the hamas target" and I politely asked "what do you mean by that" and he goes "just a little dark humor" and I said "since when is genocide funny" and he didn't know what to say. I think his comment was disgusting and unnecessary. He ruined our experience.

Love going here! Very cool gun shop/shooting range. The staff is helpful and friendly. It is located in Ripon's historic downtown. It definitely has a very old vibe/vintage feel....I love it! The shooting range area is fairly clean and there is always an open lane. We are definitely thinking about purchasing a membership here.

2 STARS FOR SELECTION..-3 STARS FOR ATTITUDE, POORLY UPDATED WEBSITE, HIGH PRICES, LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.I've been to the store a handful of times since the early 2010's, and the selection has been good, but the store staff has consistently had that "old fud" gun store attitude. They come off as condescending and arrogant until you say something that shows you know more than the staff and then they get overly nice. It's a shame because I really want to like this place and support a small local business but the staff is borderline unbearable. They aren't welcoming, helpful of approachable. If anything they have deterred me from business about half the times I've gone in there due to their conduct/attitudes.Today was my last time going there. I am in the market for a new handgun: a Sig P229 in 9mm.. Barnwood's website lists that they have a Sig P229 available for range rental. I have extensive time on the Sig P226 (the full size version) but wanted to make sure the 229 fit my hands. I intended to go and spend an hour with their rental, but after driving down there (and saying hi to the rude staff who just stared at me while I walked in - they didn't respond back) I go into their rental area and there is no Sig P229. I ask the girl behind the counter.. she says there is no Sig P229. I explain that their website lists it available for rent and she stares blankly and doesn't respond. I ask if there are any other firearm for rent that aren't in the case, or if she knows how often their website is updated.. she just says "no.. sorry".No attempt to explain or get any sort of business whatsoever. I'm over this place. And I'm telling my whole department not to come here either. I'd rather drive two hours to LC Action in San Jose simply because they have customer service.

Place has that old rustic saloon style, great service too.. the range is just the kicker as they have great a selection of pew pews..

Awesome firearm shop! Fairly large inventory of all types of new and used guns and equipment. Nice range on-site. Very competent gunsmith, Paul, is frequently available. Very friendly staff eager to help you find what you need.

Had some work done to my riffle and it came out great and the price very reasonable!

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! Answered all my questions and made purchasing my firearm as easy as can be.

I've used pretty much all the services that Barnwood Arms provides - purchased new guns, guns on cosignment, used their indoor shooting range, and purchase gun ammo and gear. And all that living in Turlock. Barnwood Arms is worth the drive for all your gun needs!
