Who We Are
Basalt Firearms opened its doors in 2010, specializing in the sale of quality guns and gun accessories. In 2014, we underwent an expansion that more than doubled our retail space, allowing us to increase the array of products on offer to our customers. With more square footage, we are first and foremost able to house a larger selection of guns and gun accessories to ensure we meet your needs. Additionally, we introduced new and expanded areas of business: clothing and jewelry. Bang and bling is our specialty, you might say!
As an exclusive retailer of Under Armour, maker of quality clothing for the outdoor enthusiast, we can get you properly outfitted for that hunting, fishing or hiking expedition, or just make sure you look good at the range. In our partnership with Michael Bair Designs, a local Basalt business specializing in custom design and fine jewelry repair and restoration, we aim to offer a little something for everyone.
We are extremely thankful to serve and be a part of the Basalt and Roaring Fork Valley communities. Thank you!
