This place is a bit obnoxious. They say they refuse to answer the phone when you call because they allegedly get 1,600 phone calls a day. Every other gun store I've called answers the phone (weird, huh). They have a system where you give your name and number and they will give you a call when it's your turn; BUT you only have 5 min to get back to their shop or you loose you place in line. This system is destined to fail for many (unless you plan on waiting for hours in their parking lot). 5 min to return is obnoxious. They SHOULD give 10-15 to return and bump you to next in line, but not everyone has countless hours to wait in their parking lot. read more

I was shopping online for a rifle. I saw that they were a FFL I could ship my rifle to. I called and spoke with the staff. They said they would accept my rifle. My rifle arrived 1 weedk ago. I've been calling for over 1 week. Not once have they answered the phone. So far no bueno. read more

Their system while taking appointments was already terrible and now they made it worse by no longer taking appointments. Completely incompetent staff that takes customers for granted. Luckily they're a gun store and they're getting business regardless but I'm really hoping people remember how terrible they are once everything finally calms down read more

Bought my first gun there recently, the staff was great, service was great. All the bad reviews are ridiculous. Mad bc ammo bro's let's you sit in your car with a/c rather than stand outside in line for 2-3 hours like bass pro. Then people go home knowing they only have 5 min to get there after a call. If they waited 10min for every customer they call and if they see 50-75 customers a day that's 12 hours a day they would be WAITING for people to show.. don't complain that you get the option to wait in a/c in your own space while you wait or they will be forced to do the outside line! Thanks Ammo Bros love my G22! read more

I had a very bad experience with them I went and signed in waited three hours for them to call me after K called me I told him I would like 510 minutes away he said no worries come in and will take care of you so even though I came in within 10 minutes I was outside for 5 to 10 minutes until somebody could help me after I walked in and told them that I've been waiting they said that they skipped me and the guy that was helping was no longer available read more

I will NEVER purchase anything from this store again. I understand the coronavirus has everyone freaked but to make your customers wait standing outside for hours is ridiculous. Their disorganization is unacceptable. Me and my fiance waited in line for 3 hours to close out our layaway and pickup our guns. We were misinformed about the 10day waiting process. We were told that the background check begins when you put a 20% deposit down, so we were surprised to find that we couldn't pick up our guns or finish paying the deposit because we came on a "pickup only day." After waiting for hours at your employees misinformation, you should at least let us process our payment since we were already at the counter. They were doing other transactions aside from pickups, they were selling ammo as well and holding leisure conversations as if there was not customers waiting outside for hours. So the fact that now you can't take my payment. That's Bull! NEVER AGAIN!! read more

I just had the worst experience ever at this place. I typically go to Turner's or Bass pro shop for my gun needs, but this time I decided to come to a closer location. Me and my girlfriend arrived at 10:40am and we noticed there was a line to get in, so we got in line. Come to find out, they're only letting three people at a time in. I am not exaggerating when I tell you, we (and many others) waited over FIVE hours in line to get told they close at 4pm and no one else is getting in if you don't make it inside their door. At 3:50 pm we had 3 people in line in front of us and we knew we weren't going to make it in. We ended up leaving after waiting 5 miserable hours outside. Never coming back, supporting, or recommending this location to anyone. I'll do whatever I can to steer people clear of this spot. read more

Great shop - new manager, Art, is the man!!!! Love this place now that the leadership and culture has changed! Enjoy taking first time shooters there to explore new firearms. Keep up the great work folks!!!! read more

Two hour wait just to buy some ammo. Other gun shops have zero wait time but somehow this location can't process fast enough just to buy some ammo. read more

Love this place. They don't make you fell like an idiot if you ask random questions. Plenty of items for sale and well stocked store. The reload ammo is fairly priced and always available. Store hours are great for those of us who work for a living read more

!!!!! SCAM!!!!! Once you sign or give them the money they gone steal 20% pretending that you are not eligible or have a s...t in your background. THEY DON'T SELL GUNS, JUST SCSM EVERYONE !!!!! definitely don't visit this place don't buy they're shetty stuff. They've tried to rip me off 200$ pretending that I want to cancel a contract. I've brought all the legal papers that they asked and lost all day waiting to pick up a hunting gun. At the end of tha day I had nothing just a headache. I'll sued them and fill up a complain at the consumer protection and federal authority read more

I couldn't give them 0 stars because it's not available. Their service completely sucks. So unprofessional and unwilling to help. Never coming back here EVER!!!! read more

I don't know what all the fuss is about. This is a great place . Good customer service . I've recently purchased an 308 M1A with Leupoldo scope . I'm pretty pumped on it . Thanks to the guy's at Ammo Bro's read more

Ammo Bros - M1A with Leupold scope - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Riverside, California

Terrible. The staffs are friendly and helpful but the manager has issues. I was there to pick up a gun. The manager didn't want to do his job and made one of the staffs do it, when the later was already helping another customer. I was very uncomfortable with the whole body language. Hope they address the situation sooner than later before it gets out of control. read more

Sometimes a long wait but very efficient staff . I appreciate the friendly service. My go to for ammo / magazines and equipment

First off I just wanted to make sure to give a shout out to Art! He's an awesome dude! I showed up about 30 minutes before closing time (works been crazy busy) trying to buy a gun, didn't happen but that's totally understandable. Art told me to come in the next day and that he'd make sure I get taken care of even if I came in late again, which due to work I did. Anyways I came in waited maybe about 20 minutes and I was called inside and Joey helped me and made the purchasing process super fast. Really appreciate these dudes! Will definitely be purchasing more firearms from them. read more

Travis Chris Pops all great service and great prices. Quality shop and plenty of awesome guns. Ammo to boot. read more

Ammo Bros - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Riverside, California

Went in to buy a few boxes of bullets and a new handgun that I had previously decided to get. 3 other customers besides me and 3 employees, it took about 40 minutes. When they finally did get to me, they were sold out of the ammo that I wanted. When I asked when more would come in, I just got a shoulder shrug. They have an awesome selection of guns and accessories, but their attitude and customer service just plain sucks. read more

Customer service was considerably slow. If you have a few hours to burn by all means go for it. I literally needed to ask 2 question and waited 53 min with one individual in line in front me. Crazy town! read more

Very helpful staff! Especially Bethany she went above and beyond for me and helped with every question I had, once I picked up my firearm.

Did an online order for a gun that was in stock. Have been trying to contact them for update status but nobody ever picks up the phone.

This place has excellent customer service as soon as I walked in I was greeted ,and the employees were attentive to provide assistance with anything I needed.I spoke with a gentleman named Art who was awesome,and answered all of my questions as I am no expert in fire arms.Overall a great experience in this store every time I have came in.Very knowledgeable,and friendly staff. read more

I'll never go anywhere else again! Great place, great staff!! Jim was wonderful. He was very patient with my wife and let her hold and feel several different hand guns and answered all of her question straight forward. She decided on the Glock 19. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to buy a hand gun, rifle or shot gun. It is nothing like bass pro shop standing in line waiting for a bunch of lookie Lou's to get out of the way. I almost forgot the price. They were $60 lower then the next closest competitor!! I'll be back for sure!! read more

Rarely do I write reviews: But today, it's worth my time. I stopped by Ammo Bros yesterday, to purchase a few thousand Primers. "Small Pistol and small rifle CCI Primers" They only had two boxes of their CCI400's, at $29.99. "Good Price" Since I live in Moreno Valley, and didn't want to just walk out with two boxes, I decided to buy an extra box, of Winchester WSR. Price on the display $31.99. I decided to buy them, since they're only $2.00 more. Again, not a bad price. Well, it wasn't until today, that I noticed I was over charged for the winchester primers. Price on receipt $34.99. So I decided to give them a call, to confirm the price, before I drove all they way there. I was told they did overcharge me, but that I did, have to come in, for my $3 refund. Ok, whatever ! Is it worth driving, that far, for $3 ? I decided to call them back, and ask them, if I can get a discount, on another box of primers. Their answer was, NO. They would ONLY Give me a3 dollar discount, on my next purchase. I decided to eat the 3 dollars. I reload thousands of rounds every year, and looking at receipts, I added over $5,200 I spent at Ammo Bros just in 2016. Needless to say, I will no longer, buy a single thing from them, EVER. I will drive to Covina "Phillis Wholesale" For all my Reloading supplies. All I was asking for, was maybe a 10% discount on something. Most likely, I would have spent a couple hundred dollars in there. read more

My husband has been bugging me to get a gun that's easier for me to handle, I have a Springfield 1911 and while I love how it looks it's heavy & hard to pull the trigger. Also I wanted something small so I can apply for a concealed carry and travel with something light & easy to use. Went in on a Saturday night and Chris came right up to us to ask if we needed any help. My husband asked to check out a CZ 75 sp-01 because he's in love with it and just wanted to oogle it which Chris happily obliged then we informed him as to why we were there. Chris seemed eager to help us and had a few suggestions for us to check out. First a Smith & Wesson M&P shield, a HK P2000 SK, and the CZ 75 compact. He didn't rush us, let us both check out each handgun and get a feel for them. Asking me how the trigger felt? How the weight felt? Any questions or concerns I had he answered with ease. Went with the HK and started the paperwork which didn't take very long, we arrived about a half hour before closing so even when it became closing time we weren't rushed or shown any sign of annoyance. Very fast process from start to finish now just waiting the 10 days before I can pick it up. My husband was even more impressed that the handgun we purchased (regularly $699) was on sale for $650 and not only that he checked Turners & Rifle Gear to find that the gun was about $100 more on both websites. So besides the service their prices are great as well! Highly recommend even just to go in and take a look they have a large selection to check out. read more

Ammo Bros - Can't wait to break her in. - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Riverside, California

I am new to the world of hand guns so I went in knowing almost nothing. Everyone at the store was very helpful and didn't try to make me feel ignorant when asking even the easiest of questions. No technical jargon that I couldn't understand. They put it into terms that even a laymy ( myself ) could understand. Shout out to Art and Monica for help. read more

Been coming to this ammo bros for years the staff has always been friendly and knowledgeable especially with ak's which is rare to find out here, have bought rifles here and done ppt here and every time it's a great experience here that keeps me coming back Ps they have large ammo selection to feed the guns we love read more

Stopped by for ammo and a holster but I was ignored by staff. It wasn't very busy, pretty quiet, so I walked out and spent $300.00 at bass pro shops instead. Way to go ammo bros, I won't be back. Ever. read more

What the he'll happened? I've bought a lot of guns from these guys, used to be casual, you could joke around with the guys, manager included. Not now!! Where did the goid guys go? Called the store 7 times trying to find out if they had a mag, no answer!! Called ontario to ask how to get hold of Riverside store (wasn't going to drive 40 minutes in traffic hoping they had it. Guy says ..ah, I dunno, they only have 2 guys there, may be they are busy!! Maybe send them a message! Said no, called Bullseye, and typical, answered on 2 rings, guy says ya we got them, but let me go put my hands on it, comes back with a yes and I put one aside for You! Went there and dropped $200!! Money that ammo bros d idnt get, and will never Get! What a shame..i will pass the word to my buddies.. P.S. make sure you stop at Jack in the box first, cause if you're over the age of 50 and have to per a lot, they don't have a restroom!! But at bullseye was saying he was there last year to buy a Ruger LRP, he found the gun, was looking at scopes and had to oee.. sorry.. he LEFT pissed (pun intended) and went to bullseye, wound of saving money on the Tiger and scope, and has since bought 3 other guns from bullseye.. read more

Walked into this place. Four guys working counter. Only 3 customers in store. I was ignored. For a few minutes. One of the employees was walking to photo copy someone's license. I said to him I have a question. He kept walking. They are kinda rude. Going to different gun and amo store. read more

Travis is a wealth of knowledge. Great guy to talk guns with and knows what can and can't be done here in CA. Saw that they had AR9 uppers in stock, awesome little shop here in Riverside. read more

The team is always friendly. Katrina helped me and I was very surprised how knowledgeable she was. I'll definitely be back!!

This place has no idea how to run a business. Gun sales are at record levels. So why wouldn't you hire more employees? Went to buy a handgun and was told the wait was long enough to go get lunch. Left my phone number. Three hours later I was still waiting. Now I'm here to pick up said gun and have been waiting an hour so far and who knows how long I'll be sitting here. They tell you to stay within five minutes of the store or you'll lose your spot if you can't get there in five. Absolutely ridiculous that it takes half an afternoon to buy a gun. Go somewhere else. read more

Always a pleasure going to one of my favorite gun stores! Every employee is extremely nice and very helpful. I bought my first shotgun there and they reeled me in. They have great deals on ammo too! A special shout out to Matt and Jim who ALWAYS make me feel welcomed and help me find what I need or am looking for! Purchased my 2nd gun (my first hand gun) a CZ 75 Compact which aren't always manufactured! Jim knows I have a tough time shooting hand guns so he really got me to feel comfortable and LOVE this gun! read more

Decided that I wanted to buy a new revolver as an early birthday present to myself. This is a nice spot on Indiana, place is very clean and offers a large assortment of guns and pretty much anything else you'd need for a gun (cleaning kits, earmuffs, targets, etc.). Prices are pretty fair for the area. Main reason why I'm giving 5 stars is for the service. This is my first time buying a gun, and not once did I ever experience the stereotypical cocky attitudes that usually come with people that work at gun shops. They had no qualms with answering any of my firearm questions, no matter how silly they might have sounded. Very professional, patient and knowledgeable staff. If every visit here will be like this, then they'll always have my business as long as they're in the area. Fair warning, you might have to wait a little longer than you'd like to be served. This place can get busy fast with staff handling customer inquiries and how long it can take to process paperwork. Try to come on a weekday to avoid the rush. Not sure if I'm ready for another gun any time soon, but I'll give my business to these guys if I do. Service was top-notch, I'll definitely be back if I need ammo or anything else for my Ruger. read more

Went there to pick up a gun Signed in and before they got to my name after I have already been waiting a half hour, some kid and his dad come in to window shop and not buy anything and the girl behind the counter ignores I'm next and shows them 10 different guns !! I'm here waiting MY TURN to pick up MY GUN and it seemed like anyone checking guns out without buying took priority than actual customers. They are incredibly rude there They never know what they are talking about and when you show them the DOJ website and tell them they are wrong about certain things they just shrug their shoulders and say "idk what you want me to tell you!" Do not come here to buy anything! I have been an avid gun collector for 10 years and used to go to Centerfire for the entirety of that time and then the owner died sadly Now I'm left with bullshit corporate gun stores like this one who genuinely don't give a shit about you!! read more

I understand that this covid19 affected every stores, fast food chains and restaurants. I came here in Riverside Ammo bros to get an optic that is really hard to find anywhere even online. A guy name Rick told me that 16 people were ahead of me and would take about 4 hours wait. So I ask if they at least have the optic that I'm looking for. Rick w/o hesitation checked their inventory and sure enough one left in stock. He then gave me the benefit of the doubt to come in and just do the purchase w/o waiting since I know what I want and I'm not buying ammo or gun. He's very professional and polite. Really, it's the people you interact with like Rick that makes a difference in your buying experience and gun stores need more like him.. Now that's customer service! This 5 star is for Rick, thanks! read more
