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 Bachmann model trains. 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. 

​

We are extremely thankful to serve and be a part of the Basalt and Roaring Fork Valley communities. Thank you!
