If you're into firearms, ammunition, or just love discovering hidden spots that usualy only locals know about, let me introduce you to your new favorite spot: Ammo Guy! This place is everything you want from a real-deal ammo store -- and then some. Owned by John, and operated with the help of Tony, these guys are like walking encyclopedias when it comes to firearms and ammunition. Seriously, they know their stuff inside and out. I came in looking for .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 12 gauge defense rounds, and not only did they have it all, but the prices were the lowest I've seen anywhere in California -- and I've shopped around a lot. What really stood out was Tony. He didn't just point me to a shelf and call it a day -- he took the time to walk me through their entire inventory, explaining the differences between brands, bullet weights, and even showing me some of their exotic and hard-to-find ammunition. (Spoiler: They have some seriously cool stuff.) On top of that, Ammo Guy stocks military surplus ammo from all over the world, which is a rare find these days. Whether you're a seasoned shooter, a collector, or just getting started, this place has something for you. Fair warning: You'll probably end up spending more time than you planned because there's so much to see and learn. And honestly? That's part of the fun. Do yourself a favor -- skip the big box stores and support a local business that actually cares about its customers. Ammo Guy gets a solid 5 stars from me, and I'll be back for sure! read more

Great place to buy ammo with great selection. They have some hard to find surplus ammo for hand guns and rifles.

This place is literally the only place to go for ammo if you like to save money. If you're rich and don't care about money, come here anyway. It's a small shop when you compare to some of the other shops...but when you walk in the selection is enormous. They have probably every single round you'd ever want in various amounts. Super cheap bundles, small boxes, big boxes, all of it. I don't think you can get cheaper ammo in Orange County, and I shopped around. Beyond that, they're just cool as hell. I asked a bunch of questions about some of their ammo and gear, and they were more than happy to chat about it extensively. Kinda feels like you're shopping at your friend's place, and yet this was my first time stopping in. I will be back again and again. read more

After driving by this area and seeing their signs for the last several days , my curiosity got the best of me. I am very familiar with all the shops in that area and the recent redevelopment. This was a store that I wasn't familiar with and what a great surprise it was !!! Their vast selection was a wonderful surprise and competitively priced. And their friendly, knowledgeable and professional help was top shelf ... And after finding my Unicorn ammo , and making my purchase , I plan on patronizing this great new shop on a regular basis. read more

I came into possession of a large amount of ammunition from my late father that I had no idea what to do with and found out that The Ammo Guy will take it and dispose of it for free. I stopped by and it couldn't have been any easier, just handed it all over, no ID needed, no paperwork to fill out, just drop it off and walked out, literally took 2 minutes, and they were so friendly and nice as well. Convenient location too. read more

Best selection I've seen in Orange County!! Usually has ammo I need especially if rare or not common. John runs a great store!

Great Value prices and hard to find items (ammo) or (accessories) this store will likely have it or point you in the right direction! Thank guys see you soon! read more

Saw this place opened a bit ago and finally had a chance to stop by and the service was great and they had some amazing deals. Definitely would recommend read more

John and Tony have won a customer for life. If you're a gun owner in California, you know all too well businesses that say they're "pro 2A" only to exploit unconstitutional laws and charge exorbitant prices for their goods just because they can. This is not the case with Ammo Guy. Specializing in ammo supply, both John and Tony took excellent care of all my needs and gave me a very informative tour of what they provide. You will find the rarest of ammos being sold for a very reasonable and fair price, and from what I've seen, they prioritize enabling citizens to practice their rights above making a profit. Some of the notable ammos that have dried up in CA altogether will be available here (such as spam cans of 7n6, 7.62x39, and other unique calibers). They also have an abundant variety of the common use calibers. If you need ammo, look no further than this shop. The guys will take care of you. Thank you to John and Tony and God bless you guys! read more
