Because there are so many variables, we do not give quotes by phone. Price range(s) can be given upon visual inspection, but can vary greatly after diagnoses by our technicians.

knowledge - experience - equipment
Hospital for Guns
Think of Concept Arms as a hospital for guns. Like a hospital, diagnoses & repair requires that the patient be checked in, endure the tests and then, either a procedure is performed or the doctor concludes that the problem is terminal.
*We can even do cosmetic surgery!!
Counter Fee
Occasionally we can provide diagnoses and/or perform very simple repairs while you wait. This service is based on technician availability and requires a minimum $50 Counter Fee, which does not include parts.
*This fee also applies to assessment and evaluation which does not result in check-in.
Not a Big Box Store
The biggest difference between Concept Arms and the big box stores is our knowledge, experience and skill set. We also try to keep our shelves stocked with items that are nearly impossible to find locally.
Warranty
Concept Arms has a 1-year warranty on work performed by our technicians.
*Manufacture warranty applies to equipment purchased.
