I'm a long time hunter but a novice at building a rifle. The staff was patient, walked me through all of the details of building my AR and keeping it compliant. I might have been able to save a buck by shopping online but in the end, the piece of mind and knowledge I received was more than worth the dollar or two that I might have saved. Also, since CA has become so ridiculous on ammo purchases, I'll be using them as a source for instore and online ammo. read more

Went there for a private party transfer. They required the SELLER to have a Firearms Safety Certificate. The seller! This makes no sense and is not requried. They had some silly reason but I think it was just one more reason they don't want to waste time with transfers. Looked like a nice shopt and they had a chance to gain a customer. I was in the buying mood. Not after their silly transfer rules. read more

First time coming here. Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable. Thanks for catching the gas tube issue on my M&P 15.

Best FireArm/Ammo Store ive ever been to ! Adam & Demetre really helped out a lot answering all the questions i had & helping me through the process of building a rifle. Definitely recommend this spot if your looking to start a build ,purchase or even just find out info on any gun related topics or laws . read more

I bought all my parts and accessories to build my first rifle here. Excellent customer service, friendly knowledgable staff, and great selection of firearms and accessories. read more

Really awesome & helpful guys!! Helped us pick out a shotgun and a glock 19! Highly recommend going here! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Thanks again!! read more

Knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff. Thanks so much to Brent for the extra help!!

My wife and I have been shopping here for quite some time and I have been meaning to leave a review. They have the best assortment of product in the area. Not only do they carry firearm accessories but they carry the tools for assembling them as well that you don't find at any other local shop. The place is nice and clean. Brendon has always been super cool. Whether I was stopping in to buy something or just stopping by with a question, the staff has always been more than helpful. It's nice to have a shop like this locally as I know other people have to make a commute to find a place like this. I'm glad to see they have a positive presence on Yelp. I saw they only have one bad review so far. In response to that review....I don't remember Firearms Unknown being a pawn shop. If a employee and a customer were to engage in private deals, I don't think that should reflect the business. If I was looking to do a private deal with a certain employee, I would probably keep that business private with that employee and would not discuss that with other employees of the business. I would also not publicize certain firearms that a employee has shared with me as the business is called Firearms Unknown and that was between you and the employee. I would not want my Firearms publicized without my consent. Obviously this customer feels they were treated unfair but there's always two sides to a story. I hope this shop keeps up the good work for a good cause and we will continue to support them ! read more

Firearms Unknown - Two 80s I picked up on sale ! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Oceanside, California

Great help, informative, and easy to to do business. Appropriate the help on my first build.

Our money is really the most powerful voice we have and when is comes to supporting a business, spending hard earned money says volumes. The most important part of walking into a place to consider spending your money is being acknowledged in a timely manor; Brendon nailed it! Eye contact even when overwhelmed with phone calls and multiple potential customers, he took time to say " hey man welcome in , be right with you" Hands down in very aspect a great business to support for more that just exercising 2nd amendment, also inform yourself family and friends that we will stand together in our basic rights and support business like this. I walked in with very little knowledge and came out feeling knowledgeable and empowered and satisfied with what I received for the money I spent. I highly recommend this place and will pass it on my experience, all the best ! read more

I've been here several times the past few months window shopping, and the staff seems very knowledgeable every time I'm in. I had some amateur questions to ask them my last time in and the employees went out of their way to get me answers. I probably touched every upper they had multiple times and asked several dozen questions. The female employee was super-attentive and made sure I didn't walk away with any questions unanswered. Very knowledgeable and patient staff! read more

The place to go for all your 80% needs. They have a ton of fully assembled uppers, a ton of 80% lowers all in stock. I found them when my LPK was missing one stupid piece. Amazingly they had it in stock. Brendon is extremely knowledgable and a super nice guy too! Glad to have them 10 minutes from my house read more

This place is great. It is pretty new, i think they opened this week. It was easily accessible, as it is right off the 5 fwy, on oceanside blvd. I was driving by and saw their sign, the AR caught my eye. The store looks really clean and organized and seemed to have a ton of stuff for a shop that just opened. They really are an AR-15/AR-10 and 80% super store. Most shops don't carry 80% lowers and frames, and this shop is dedicated to them. It is pretty cool, you walk in and walk out with everything you need to build your own gun. They don't have just AR stuff they have a bunch of Glock, 1911, and 10/22 parts and lowers as well. So the selection is pretty broad. What I really liked is that they also sell all the tools and accessories you need to work on your guns. In fact they had a very large selection of tools. Finally, in looking at their optics, they have a bunch of high end optics, scopes and sights and their pricing on this stuff was really low compared to what i've seen online. I will definitely come back. read more

Firearms Unknown is in a large and clean location with tons of parking. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. They definitely help you with anything you need. Tons of product so there is a lot of variety. They specialize in AR components but also have 1911 parts, some gear and a ton of other firearm accessories like sight, lights etc. Apparently they will begin selling ammunition soon. They are still relatively new to the location so the foot traffic isn't crazy yet either. read more

Brendan an Jarred have worked together for a few years, and they are very knowledgeable. Go see them. read more

Found this place driving around last weekend & it is awesome!! The people & the most adorable pit bull!! I can't wait to go back & get what I need to finish my pew pew. read more

By far the most friendly and helpful firearms dealer in my 27 years that I've been to. The owner is extremely helpful and the employees are as well. With their combined knowledge I was satisfied with my purchases. This establishment as well as opposed to many other gun stores is more modern to the younger generation of firearms enthusiasts. Highly recommend shopping here for any firearms related items. read more

From gardening to beer making and now onto my new lustful hobby firearms. Never occurred to me how important customer service was until I evaluated my own confidence level as I exited the store. All 3 of my hobbies have overwhelming possibilities and configurations but finally here was an associate that took all the guesswork out of the equation. I will surely be back and will be telling all my friends read more

I've been in this store two times, both times I was greeted with very nice and professional customer service. Which in my opinion is a rarity in many gun stores. Nice store with a nice selection and variety. I would recommend this store. read more

Came in there to get some info on how the whole build a gun process goes and got lucky to talk to the owner Dustin. Great guy, took his time and helped me out with everything. I will most definitely be back. read more

This place is awesome! They help you out the whole way through and answer any questions respectfully. I definitely will come back and refer all friends and family to check them out! Thanks for all of your help guys!! read more

This shop went above and beyond helping me fix my problem with my lower. To anyone who hates going to shops where the people that help are rude and don't make you feel welcomed, head to Firearms Unknown because they are the complete opposite. These guys are always willing to help and are always great to talk to. Thanks again Brendan! you will be my go to shop for my AR. read more

Best customer service from any gun shop I've ever been in bar none. They will answer any question you have and hold a great conversation the whole time. I will definitely be coming back here for my future build needs. read more

Have to say this place is awesome. Had tons of questions about AR's. Both guys that were there took the time to answer all my questions. Super knowledgeable. Store was nice and layed out well. Would definitely recommend to anyone new to AR or pro. Will be doing all my business there. read more

One of the best shops I have been to. They are willing to help and are well stocked. Most tactical shops can be unwelcoming.

Great place, very knowledgable staff and some of the best customer service Ive seen. They treat people good here.

I wish I could give 100 stars the guys there are super helpful and very knowledgeable I went in as a first time builder and they helped me greatly most if not all the guys there are former military and know lots about guns and what you don't need they won't sell you something to make a quick dollar and that's what I like the most read more

Great shop. This place isn't the biggest shop in the world but they have everything you would need for an AR. Shop is clean. Quality everything. The guys in there are really friendly and helpful. They even took the time to explain some things to my wife who didn't know much about guns. I really love this store and I'll be back often. read more

this place has everything you need!! I got a g17 kit from them and it turned out great! customer service is amazing, I wish prices were a little cheaper but that's the cost of being able to find parts locally that are usually only available online. overall firearms unknown is awesome and I have recommended them to all my friends! read more

I've never been here, but I love the honesty written on their receipts. That alone has earned a 5 star review from me!

Chris was very helpful and informative with helping in the selection of my upper and accessories for my AR. Great staff and prices. Highly recommend. read more

Just found this place last night on my way to eat next door and am stoked I did! Awesome selection of gear and all parts small and large. I'll be coming back! read more

Honest friendly vet owned business. Knowledgeable and helpful in assisting one in exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. Could have saved some money going online, but it's better to help the small business owner in a "brick & mortar" building. read more
