We just moved into our new store that has a MUCH larger showroom only 2 blocks away from our old store.   Over One THOUSAND square feet is dedicated to displaying airguns, air tanks, scopes, chronographs, and all types of shooting accessories.  This will be the largest airgun showroom in the SW USA!

We are busy making gun cabinets, displays, etc.  We have informed manufacturers (FX, Daystate, etc.) that we have the room to display their products with larger signage.  

We spent all last month moving Carette compressors, FX, Daystate, Hubens, Gauntlets, Marauders. I never knew we had so much inventory!  A forklift was definitely a big help (We have over a MILLION pellets!!!!).    A big shout-out to our friend Mark for lending to us his 8' x 20' trailer for the month!!!!  

We'll be posting pictures of the progress.  Right now, dad is out here visiting making display cabinets for rifles and pistols.  I'll post pictures so that you guys and gals can watch the progress.

We are open for business at our new site.  We put up a temporary sign until the permanent one is made. I took a picture of Adam and me in front. We will have our "Grand Opening" in a few months, after everything is ship-shape and proper. Here is our new address:

Our telephone number is unchanged   (714) 907-0067

PopPop (my dad), Jonathan (my younger son), and Zach (our air gunsmith) making another gun rack for the new showroom.  He's also going to make a third 8x8 rifle rack, and a pistol rack

We are still open for business during the renovation.

Very talented!  It looks nice.  My dad passed away this summer.  We always enjoyed working together in the shop and on other projects.

Congratulations on your endeavor!  As the biggest airgun shop in the SW US, would you please use your clout to influence manufacturers to make a .22 lead free wadcutter?

This should do for a pistol cabinet.

I needed an excuse to get my dad to visit.  So I bought some tickets for him, and he's out here from PA building gun cabinets for the new showroom.  This is what we finished today.  On the left side, with white peg board we have a 4' x 8' pistol rack. To the right we have one of three 8' x 8' rifle racks (2 are already built, and the third should be done tomorrow).

Dad is in his glory when he is doing this kind of stuff.

Joe,

I am curios about how much walk in business you get?  I would assume it is only a small percentage but building a larger showroom seems to indicate otherwise.

Thanks,

David Enoch

David, we needed a much bigger warehouse as well as wanting a proper show room.  Since we now carry every brand (Daystate, FX, Huben, Hatsan, etc.), we needed extra room.   I have over 100 Carette compressors in stock, that alone takes up a lot of room.  Add every model, caliber, stock option of FX, etc., you can see how storage becomes an issue. We were packed to the gills in our old store, to the point we couldn't move around, or be properly organized. The new place has a place for everything and will be much easier place for us to work.
