midnight burnt bronze

This is the spot for your cerakote needs. Phil and everyone are very helpful and great at what they do. I've seen some cerakoting job that came out thick and smudgy from other applicators before but you don't have to worry when it comes to LA cerakote, the finished product came out better than oem I would say

The entrance

The staff is friendly and funny had good conversation going on with them. I would be coming back to this place and would recommend them to anyone. Also they are located in the tan building Apple Maps was throwing me somewhere else.

Of all the places I got quotes from, Phil has the lowest prices around. Turn around time was less than three weeks. And the work done is amazing! Coated my rifle in Burnt Bronze and Graphite Black cerakote, then he helped me convert my AR15 to featureless. Planning to take my Glock to him to match my rifle and have him stipple the frame too.

Want to give a shout out to Phill and Dave at https://www.facebook.com/Losangelescerakote/ for another job well done. C&L in Glacier Titanium, High temperature series. Work is top notch and fast turnaround when I ship parts to them from Phoenix AZ.

Awesome work by Phil. Had it done in a week. Great people over there, very personable. They will help you make your project look fantastic. I also had a stuck roll pin from driving it into a threaded hole, they were able to extract it and retread the hole with a new screw. So they seem like a problem solving bunch. A bit pricey, but I'd say worth it

Flawless job! These guys are the best in the business. They are accurate with keeping all parts in order by not getting anything mixed up and follow through with exactly what they say they will do. I have had multiple items cerakoted by them and each piece has come out perfectly every time. I am 110% satisfied with their work and highly recommend to everyone. Thanks Phil!

More than double the price of other places. I'd like to support local business, but not at that cost.

Is it customary for them to have you stand outside, ask you one or two questions through the door and not let you in?

Brian, another manager, is just as amazing as well. This location is always busy, however these managers know how to treat their team with respect and dignity. The sales team, Brendan, Robert (Rob), Yoon, Antonio, Cisco, Chris Y., Ner, and the rest, enjoy assisting customers whether it's their first gun purchase or not. They share their knowledge and provide safety instructions throughout the whole transaction. They never once take their eyes away from the firearm. The selection of firearms is incredible, plus they can special order items for you. For those interested in optics for their firearm(s), please seek the assistance from Robert (Rob), Brenden, Brian, or Yoon. They know the benefits of each brand and model Turners carries, plus the fitment. One or all of them are usually working. They can mount it to your firearm, if you're picking up your firearm at the same time. Several of the staff members go to a local gun range on their days off. They're all willing to meet up at the range and provide shooting tips. To the management and sales team at this location, a major THANK YOU!

If possible ask for Kelani or Cristian for assistance, they're awesome! Because of my experience with staff here, I will ONLY go to this location going forward, and if you're reading this, you should do the same! And all the talk about long wait times is true, however, they now have appointments online you can make ahead of time! And you can join the waitlist if you're close! No more excuses or bad reviews!

After deciding I wanted to get back into hunting after a short 50 year hiatus, I purchased a…read morebeautiful Sako 90 Hunter. During the online purchase process, Sako suggested a few FFL's, and Guns LA was one of them. I said yep, although I had never been here, and away we go. A few weeks later, I received an email notice that the rifle had arrived at Guns LA, and I drove over to go through the transfer drill. They buzzed me right in, I was greeted by a couple of the guys, and they handled everything right away. Typical easy California transfer: pages of paperwork, produce CDL, provide DNA sample, raise your right hand and swear you are not a communist or a Klingon, take a polygraph...the usual drill. Because they have a highly Yelp rated gunsmith, I handed them the Leopold scope and mounting rings I had purchased and asked them to mount it (yeah...as if I could have mounted it). No problemo. Ten long days later, I returned (and yes, the DROS paperwork stamps the exact minute from the ten days you started the process and you are damn RIGHT I was there at the exact minute to accept my rifle). They gave me a break on the price of mounting the scope since I did the transfer paperwork there, which was generous and unexpected. Everything was perfect. Although I live in Pasadena, and there are closer gun shops, I would absolutely go to these guys again. Thumbs up and thank you!

I had an excellent experience at Guns LA in Burbank and can't recommend them enough…read more About a year ago, I purchased a handgun from another dealer that has since permanently closed. Recently, I noticed some parts were coming loose and was concerned about safety. I reached out to a few shops, and while the first place was willing to help, I felt like they were more focused on trying to sell me something rather than genuinely helping with my issue. Thankfully, I found Guns LA right around the corner. After seeing their great reviews on Yelp and Google, I decided to stop by and I'm so glad I did. Deon helped me from the start and was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He never made me feel uncomfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly. Not only did he inspect and fix my firearm, but he also spent time teaching me how to properly use my Holosun sight and gave me helpful tips to improve my shooting. He even shared a flyer for private training lessons, which I really appreciated. Best of all, there was zero pressure to buy anything. He genuinely cared about helping me, not making a sale. When I returned to pick up my handgun, Deon and Mike explained that the previous dealer had actually left out some important parts, something they couldn't believe. Luckily, Guns LA has a certified gunsmith on staff (apparently one of the only ones within a 20-mile radius), and they took great care of everything. I'm extremely grateful to have found this place. They've earned my trust and my business. I'll definitely be coming back for future purchases, and they're now the only shop I'll trust with my handguns and AR-15. Highly recommend Guns LA if you're looking for honest, professional, and knowledgeable service! Big thank you to Deon

I have thought long and hard about posting this review. I truly am a huge supporter of any local…read morebusiness, but the end result was too disappointing. I have to leave this review. I try to support small local businesses whenever I can, especially ones in my own neighborhood. In early January I stopped into Addax Tactical while I was out riding my e-bike with my dog. The staff were friendly, they were cool about my dog being there, and they even let me bring my bike inside. My first impression was positive. A little later I went back to order a rifle. I wanted a Henry Big Boy .357 Lever Action Rifle. They didn't have it in stock, and I was told it would take about two to three weeks to arrive because the SHOT Show convention was coming up. While doing the paperwork, I also decided to purchase a Ruger 10/22 so I could complete both purchases with a single background check. I left a deposit of about $1,200 toward roughly $2,000 total for the two rifles. Both rifles are very standard models that most gun stores typically have available or can obtain quickly. I could have easily purchased them elsewhere, but I made a deliberate choice to support a smaller shop in my neighborhood and was willing to wait the extra couple of weeks. Based on the timeline I was given, I expected the rifles to arrive by late January and to have them in my possession by mid-February after the required 10-day waiting period. That didn't happen. After three weeks I called to check on the order. Nothing had arrived yet. I waited another week and called again. Still nothing. The responses were always very casual, with little explanation other than that the rifles had been ordered. Around six weeks into the process, I was told the Ruger had arrived but they hadn't called because they assumed I wanted to pick up both rifles at the same time. I went in immediately and started the paperwork to take possession of the Ruger. During that visit I learned something that had never been mentioned before: the Henry rifle had not actually shipped yet, and the shop generally places firearm orders in batches rather than ordering individual rifles. This was the first time I had heard that, even though the original estimate had been two to three weeks. At that point I agreed to upgrade to the octagonal-barrel version of the Henry since I had always wanted that model anyway, and I was told the change would not affect the delivery timeline. After the 10-day waiting period I picked up the Ruger and again asked about the Henry. The answer was still that it had not arrived yet. By this point we were about eight weeks into the process, with no clear timeline. About a week later I called again and received the same answer. At that point I decided to cancel the Henry order and request a refund. I was told the refund would come from accounting and that I should expect a check in two to three weeks. After two weeks I called again and was told it could take up to 30 days. I eventually went to the shop in person to check on the refund. This time I was told I could not bring my bike or dog inside, even though I had been there several times before with both and it had never been an issue. Eventually I received a call saying the refund check had arrived. For the sake of transparency, I'm writing this from memory without the receipts directly in front of me, so the dollar amounts may be off by a few dollars either way, but the numbers below are very close to what was paid and refunded. When I picked up the check, the amount returned was about $370 out of the roughly $1,200 deposit I had paid. That means that after roughly 12 weeks, the final outcome of this transaction is that I effectively ended up with a $830 Ruger 10/22 -- a rifle that typically sells for a few hundred dollars at most gun shops. Even assuming some type of restocking fee, it's difficult to understand how that result makes sense, particularly for a rifle that, according to the shop, had not even shipped yet when I cancelled the order. I went into this purchase specifically because I wanted to support a small neighborhood business like Addax Tactical and was willing to wait longer than usual to do so. Unfortunately, after the delays, the lack of clear communication about how orders were handled, and the final refund outcome, the entire experience ended up being extremely frustrating. If you're considering ordering a firearm here, my advice would simply be to make sure you clearly understand the ordering process, timeline expectations, and refund policies before leaving a deposit. Posting this simply to document my experience so other customers know what to expect when placing a special order here.
