walked in with Two handguns for sale 4 men in small room two sitting two standing, the two sitting asked what they could do for me. I asked if they buy guns the replied yes they do. I handed two guns in original cases to the man sitting he opened the boxes and both men immediately started talking down about my brand new never fired perfect condition guns. proceeded to educate me on how they are not worth much because they are not desirable then the man standing started also saying the same thing on and on four men just bashing the guns, one said they have 10-12 in the back they cant sell. I said ok so you dont want them thats all you had to say but they kept talking about how much better the new guns out today are! I just grabbed my stuff off the table and walked out. Rude Rude Rude went down the street and sold both for a fair price and had no negative reaction only professionalism. read more

Came to visit our daughter 1 1/2 wk ago and made some new friends! Bill and staff are all friendly! Answered all our questions, everyone is very knowledgeable! Recommendations were outstanding and cost was amazing! The selection process was a little long because of ALL the options they have!!! Overall, great experience! Even brought my daughter for our pick up date and now she's considering a purchase thank you to everyone! See you soon:) read more

Came by this shop on a weekend for a gun smithing expertise with no luck. They were recommended by gun counter employee at Turneroutdoorsman. The shop is a small space in old town Clovis. They had great reviews on Yelp, which would probably explain how busy they get. I came in on a Saturday and they were very very busy. Not enough space in their small shop to accommodate 8-10 people excluding two employees. I could not even manage to enter their place of business .Email and contact info was available on Yelp and their website. I have sent multiple messages and email but until now, no reply was sent on their behalf. I am disappointed. There really not too much gun smith services available in Fresno:Clovis. Will give the shop a second visit and another try in the near future and see if I will be able to get some help next time. read more

Came in here to restore my colt elite team and one of the workers took the gun apart and left the "idiot" scratch where the pin goes in! Please do not bring your gun in for any kind of service situations because they will ruin your gun before they even start working on it! Then denied it was even them and blame it on you ! read more

Halfcocked Gunsmithing & Firearms - Before - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Clovis, California

See all

Bill is a man of class and character. I would do business with him anytime. I gave him a 5 because he is a straight shooter (no pun intended) and gave me a fair deal. read more

Went there to have some repair work done on one of my firearms. The business is very small and had a lot of people in it. People were standing outside just as a gathering place. I got up to my turn, and they went past me and went to the two people behind me. Found out after standing in line that their gunsmith had moved to Arizona. I asked him who they would recommend and they would not give me a recommendation. read more

Tiny hole-in-the-wall with tremendous expertise. This has become my go-to, top shop. It can get packed very quickly. Look for Crazy Frank on YouTube and you might get your answer online. We will always go to Bill at Halfcocked for our firearms needs read more

I had never been to this business but decided to stop by after leaving another local gun sales business in town and being treated negatively, twice. As soon as I walked in I was treated very respectfully. The three gentleman that ran the shop, including the owner, Bill, were extremely helpful and courteous. I was able to complete my transaction in a timely manner, and they held a great conversation. I will definitely be back, thanks guys! read more

Very informative, kind, and funny. This place will definitely recommend the staff and store to anyone interested in purchasing a gun.

Kind, friendly and honest folks here at this shop. While there was a line to complete my business here but it wasn't a long or bad wait. Arrive early to avoid this wait. read more

I called to ask for any Winchester lever action rifles in stock and some dude answered "sir if we had any, we'd sell them all day." Like wtf kind of answer is that?? Not only was it a bit belligerent for a potential customer, but it didn't make any sense. After I hung up I just kinda laughed to myself like "that was such a super boomer answer." Lol read more

Awesome place to use as an FFL for your private party transfer. Everybody inside. The gun shop always has a good attitude.

Good guys, great service. They even saved me some ammo for the rifle I just bought from them during the ammo shortage going on. They really are a good shop. I will be returning for future firearm and ammo purchases. read more

This store is wonderful. My husband and I visited to complete a private party transfer with my nephew. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They were very patient in helping with the paperwork. We were not rushed. The prices are very competitive. An all around nice shopping experience. read more

Super friendly staff! They had what I needed when everywhere else in town was sold out

Best gun shop in town, they charge fair prices and have a great selection. Nothing like the used car salesman at breco where they overcharge you and try to sell you junk for exorbitant prices read more

What a bunch of good guys. From the regulars to the owner, I felt right at home. Being an out of towner always carries a hit or miss when looking for trustworthy businesses. These guys provided several options to help me resolve my smithing issue. The price was fair and was also met with some additional work on the house. One warning, plan on being there for a while, cause everyone there is so dang friendly. Thanks Halfcocked! read more

Called in to ask if they had ammunition in stock for my caliber and they just said NO and hung up before I could even acknowledge his response. Had more questions to ask but I I'll spend my money somewhere that cares about their customers. read more

I needed to have a stock shortened to my length of pull on my beautiful brand new Italian hand engraved over under shotgun and asked Frank if that was something he could do. Well, he shortened it to the correct length...but the quality of the work was very sub parr to say the least. The biggest issue was that he used JB Weld to fill in the low spots and glue the spacer to the wood. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. He may be an excellent gunsmith with very fair prices but the beautiful wood on my fine Italian shotgun needs some refinishing and is now marred in several places...a wood worker he is not. In hindsight, I should have sacrificed the extra time and taken it to the only Gunsmith in town that could do the job correctly...and that is what I have done. Sorry Frank, you are a very nice guy and I wish you well but in good consciousness I can't recommend Halfcocked Gunsmithing to others. read more

These guys are the best and understanding. It was the only place that didn't give me a hard time doing a private transfer and getting my firearm safety done during this time. Other places turned me away because I wasn't buying a gun from them which sucked. read more

What a pleasure doing business here. Larry and Bill are great and we will be back for sure!

This place is amazing!!! Bill and staff are very honest,helpful, and knowledgeable. We've already purchased 2 firearms, and will do our future purchases with them.Please support this local business in Clovis. read more

Good guys with great knowledge and a very helpful attitude. Had an AR that had a cartridge stuck in the chamber with the bolt still attached, and was unable to eject it. They solved the stuck cartridge problem quickly and suggested solutions to the original problem of a malfunctioning bolt carrier group. Great to have this level of knowledge available when things don't go right... read more

Frank has taken care of all my gun purchases and repairs, was sad to hear he is retiring but also happy for him. Met the new owner and they are cut from the same cloth as Frank. Just good guys, doing honest work for a fair price. Highly recommended this shop! read more

I went to halfcocked the other day at the recommendation of a good friend of mine. I found Frank and his wife to be very nice. They had the gun that I wanted at a good price and even threw in a little extra at no cost. I would recommend this gunsmith handgun store to anyone looking for the personal experience of one on one with the owner. read more

Went to look at the Rock Island 1911's and Frank was so very nice and just makes a person feel welcomed! Really recommend buying from Frank. Prices are good and customer service is great! read more

I took my .45 to have grip screws and mainspring housing replaced from plastic to metal. Frank did not parts in stock, so he took the ones off of his own gun and put them on mine until the ordered ones came in. Now THAT is customer service. Since then, he has been the only person I trust with my guns, and I have never been disappointed. Even when I was willing to pay for him to work on my Ruger Red Label, he sent it out to Ruger because it was on warranty. Very honest, very forthright. read more

Excellent customer service. Timely. Fair price. Flawless craftsmanship. Knowledgeable and friendly. They were even up to the challenge of modifying an AK47 to be featureless, though this particular brand was not assembled to be easily modified. read more

The new owner Bill and his Machinist David are top-notch people to work with! They both met me at the shop early as I had a sorta complicated barrel chop/thread with timing of muzzle device that was too hard to describe over the phone or email. Price was reasonable if not better than anywhere I checked around the country. Best part- job was done in ONE day AND local!!! Thanks again to Bill and David! read more
