My son and I both bought handguns here today excellent service very knowledgeable people very helpful had a great time wonderful place I will come back here if I ever want to buy a rifle or anything else! We love the atmosphere and all of the accessories you can purchase with your firearms thank you very much for everything you guys were wonderful!!

Love the place. The guys are super proficient in the topic and willing to help. Not gonna push you but offer you options if youre not sure about the price.

Nice little store, not much stock but they seem to get sought after products so they dont last long. They have done some armory work for me and I am happy with the turn around and service. I think they could be a little more engaging but they have always answered any questions I have had. And I will be happy to do business with them in the near future

Called ahead to see if had a gas tube. Was told yep got the mid length you need. Show up and nope those are for our builds. Well you shouldnt have a person make a trip and waste their time and gas. Lost another customer.

Great guy. Very helpful on questions and not to bad pricing.

Awesome place. The guys are very friendly and knowledgeable. I was having a hard time putting my AR back together and they took a look at it and got me ready to go. Highly recommend them, nice little local shop.

This shop is great I have bought several guns from here and the service is always fast and professional. Even if you need to special order a gun they dont have in stock they will hook you up pretty quick. Also I would say the prices are fair and reasonable with great customer service.Edit 1: I realize one of the main guys working there has the same name as me I promise I am a different Jordan lol

Great guys loved doing business there I will be back there for upgrades

Im an out-of-state customer, I called them up looking for a rifle and Jordan helped me pick out my firearm, set up the transfer, and rang me up in under 7 minutes. The communication during and after the sale has been excellent, the price was the best Id found ANYWHERE, and the customer service was fantastic. HIGHLY recommend dealing with these folks!

Excellent people and store!

Love dealing with them, glad you are here.

Small store but can find some good stuff. Guys there are friendly.

Great Guys, very helpful and knowledgeable. They will order items in when not in stock and their prices are very reasonable. Go check them out! plus its always a good idea to buy local and keep a good gun shop in business especially with all these box stores dropping the sale of guns and ammo.

I picked up my classic berreta M1951. These guys are awesome. I have never been to their shop and they made me feel like I was a long time customer. Looking forward to going back and building my 5.56 next 🤘

Best in two stste area. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, eager to meet your needs and special orders.

Spent 10min looking around. Just to be told they are not selling loose parts. Dont waste your time. Dont deserve 1 star.

Some great dudes work up at this shop. This will be my go to gun shop as long as I live here. They’ve helped me out a lot with my build

Worked with Jordan on a trade/buy for a great deal. Amazing customer service and great deals. Even tried three other dealers in the area, not one even came close. Ill be going to Bear Arms for anything firearms related from now on. Thanks guys!

Jordan and Seth were extremely helpful. The paperwork was quick and the shop was very clean. They made an order for me and it was there as promised. I will go there again.

Veteran friendly. Not a ton of guns on display but will gladly get you what you exactly want and try and beat prices from anywhere else. Great guys!!

Never been in before and as soon as I walked in it was nothing but friendly faces. Multiple people in there who I assume are regulars. I was fascinated by the laser engraver they had just purchased and it was like opening presents on Christmas morning for all of us. For a small local store they’ve got a lot to offer. They can build you anything you want and they can engrave anything you want. One thing I always look for in a gun store is how the employees treat customers even if they aren’t the brightest individuals. These guys did awesome making it one of my favorite stores I’ve been to. They don’t talk down on you and are willing to show you what they’ve got to bring to the table. I’m from Des Moines but I’ll be sure to make time to come back and give them business.

Went in last night and got my first AR style rifle. These guys are super friendly and we felt welcome the second we walked in. My wife is now planning out future firearms she wants haha. This is definitely our place for future purchases.

I’ve done a lot of business transferring firearms to them from online purchases and one of the employees (Jordan) is extremely rude and acts like he’s too good for my business and now refused to do my transfers same day or on weekends. I will no longer be using them. Apparently they make too much money and their empty shop is too busy.Had this at one star, moved it to three stars after talking with the owner about his rude employee.

Called this morning and talked to Seth about doing some consignments with them and inquired about a gun they had on the website. I told him I would take it and would be down after work to pick it up. Arrived at the store and it was sold. I would have gladly paid for it over the phone but wasn’t given the option. I was planning to do quite a few consignments if these went well as well as the rest of my business. Not now.

Jordan and seth are very nice they worked with me on a fully custom built ar 15. Its everything I asked for and then some they will have my business from here on out I been thinking about a few more custom builds already. Thank you 2 for all you have helpped me with

Bought my first rifle from these guys with a trade in. Great guys here, I look forward to doing more business with them.

These guys were fantastic I bought my first shotgun from them and jordan was fantastic he walked me through everything.

Very nice group of people. Willing to answer all questions no matter how dumb the questions were. Ive purchased 3 guns so far from them!

Horrible customer service, leaves before his business hours posted, never answers the phone. You play hell to pick up your gun. He’s so rude and I do not recommend going there.

Seth is awesome

Great place. Even better deals!!! Great AR-15...

Since they opened their shop with regular hours its better. Good deals and the people were real friendly and helpful. I bought an AR style rifle from there. I chose to build one and they showed me how to put it all together in around an hour. Thank you guys.

Jordan went out of his way twice for me and he always keeps transfer fees low. This is a growing business that I feel will flourish tremendously as they have great ethics and customer relation skills. Thanks everyone at Bear Arms! :)

Every time i go in here these guys are great. i needed a better option than Bass Pro. i only do business here now and ive started bringing my family and friends along to do business here.

Was very helpful. I purchased a Lpc2 last Christmas. I live the gun . When Im ready for a step up with a 9mm they will be the first place Ill look .

Made my first handgun purchase with these gents yesterday. Place was incredibly packed for an event they were having and they were still able to process sales in an out with expedience, while answering any questions people had. From what I know its not just friendliness you will get when you arrive, but also the best prices around. If they dont have what you are looking for it seems they are willing to help you find it. Next time Im feeling spendy I know where to go!

Tried to get away from the big store like bass pro, keep it local. But they don’t respect customers dilemmas. I called at noon told them I was flying in, and would arrive at 630ish. Guy was rude and said he had couldn’t stay because he had things to do. That’s not the way to win customers over. I’m sure now he’s probably going to send my AR back to palmetto armory.

Great service, great prices, great guys. And they carry great coffee as well! One of the best shops Ive found.

Super nice guys. Price was great. Will be there again!

Good guys with good toys. I mean tools.

Very positive experience going to this shop! The staff were great, super helpful, and I left with some great stuff for considerably less than I originally had planned on spending.

Great employees! Great place to shop! I drive out of my way to bear arms.

I purchase my 1st fire arm from bear arms and they were incredible they answered all of my questions and they found the fire arm that best fit at my needs wonderful place I would highly recommend them

Love these guys and their shop. Always helpful and a nice selection of suppressors, used firearms and new stock.

Good people, friendly and helpful. Plus they will work with you to help get you what you want or what you need..... This shop I will return to time and time again....

If you are looking for boring guns and gear, go someplace else. This is black rifle territory. Pretty extensive supply and variety of arms. Prices good, people knowledgable. This is a place to go to find something off beat too.

Go see these guys they will help you get what you are looking for hope to be building a AR with them real soon.

These guys are great very helpful I could go there every day they were open

Quick transaction, friendly staff. I will definitely go back when I need something else.

Good selection and customer service.

Bear arms is a great place.If you are looking for good prices and a decent amount of stock, you should check them out. They carry an assortment of suppressors and have excellent prices on them. A very large selection of ARs and if youre looking for a truly custom built AR platform, Seth will be happy to put one together for you at an excellent price. They do have some scope selections as well as some hunting rifles and tactical long range rifles, including the new rugers. They also carry Black Rifle coffee, which is incredibly popular even amongst non-firearm owners and as with their other products, the price is excellent. If you are looking for a firearm that they do not have in stock, they can get it ordered in for you and do so quickly. For those that reside in Nebraska but want to take advantage of their low pricing on pistols, they will happily transport the firearm to an FFL near you, usually the next day!They also stock a large variety of classic firearms, it seems every other week they get a large batch and they offer them at a very reasonable rate. They also stock pistol caliber ARs as well as AK-47s which will accept Beretta or Glock magazines.For those of you that wish to build your own AR, they have an assortment of build kits and they also have Sig braces, they also stock the tools that will help you to assemble your AR and a large assortment of interesting AR lowers. I would highly recommend stopping by and saying hello to them.

Every time I go in they are super helpful, have alot of info and when you ask questions they dont make you feel stupid. Any question Ive ever asked theyve always had an answer.

Willing ta work with ya the best they can. Kosher with me.

Best gun shop ever!!!

Fantastic experience all my future puchases will be with Bear Arms.
