Setter Arms in Walnut Creek
Did a transfer with Todd at Setter Arms in Walnut Creek. Easy deal, no hassle. If anybody is looking for anything, give him a call he can probably get it and give you a good price on it.
It's nice to have another alternative in the east bay. |

I second that. I've worked with Todd at Setter Arms a number of times, and he is good to go. I would not hesitate to recommend him; his transfer rate is $75 total ($50 fee + $25 dros) and he makes quick work of ppts. Not only can he can order firearms from distributors, but he has great prices on mags and accessories. He also does gunsmithing out if his Daly City shop, so make sure you check his website for the hours of operation (don't trust google- they posted hours are not correct). Be sure to stop by if you're in the area and support a new bay area ffl!

It appears to be near the WC Superior Court house off of Ygnacio.
One block North to the Post Office, across the street in the same building as Tullio's Pizza. What a country. Pick up mail, cross the street to have pizza, beer, and ppt. -g

I've done a few transactions with him. Great guy--fun to talk with.
I listed some 'instructions' on finding his place here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1250480 |

Made my first visit this past weekend to begin DROS on an FFL transfer. Very nice guy, he also does his DROS filings through a smart phone app which is cool because it saves your info so you don't have to re-fill it out in the future. If you don't have a smart phone he has an iPad set up for you to fill it out on.
As others have said the place is a bit hard to find. Just keep an eye out for Tullio's and know he's located on the second floor. There's a doorbell outside his door but the door's unlocked during business hours so you can just go on in. |

I found this place as it was one of the FFL at the last cow palace show. I ended up buying quite a few other things when I wet to pick up. Its a small shop, but had a little bit of everything, cheap AR, vintage 22's, garand, handguns, etc. He had a good black Friday sale. ($550 AR?), But the best part is that he's a gunsmith!
This seems like a good place to go in and order what you want. The likelihood of finding exactly what you're looking for on the wall is low. I'll be shopping here in the future. |

I've looked at this guys web site, and sent him a couple of Emails with no answer (not recently I'll admit): What's the deal- is the Daly City shop kaput due to the oppressive tyrants in DC shutting him down? Is Setter doing gunsmith work in Walnut Creek or just transfers/sales? Last time I checked his site it was unclear to me if he was doing any gunsmith work at this time at either location.

Hey all It's Todd from Setterarms LLC. Thank you all for the nice comments and good advice about making the store more successful. I was recently told about this post and I wanted to reach out to all of you.
Someone mentioned the need for extended hours at least once a week. Im looking at doing that or two days a week to help with cutting people rushing to get there after the work day. Let me know what you think would be better for you guys/gals. As for missing emails or Phone calls. I'm extremely embarrassed by this and hope that anyone who I've missed could try calling me during business hours or try emailing me at sales@setterarms.com. I will try to be more attentive to those things as I am a one man show and can only yell at myself so much before my wife tries to get me committed. Everyone is asking about the lawsuit. I appreciate you following my story and how the city went beyond the law for political expedience and short political gain. Daly City has two new City Council people coming into office. Lets welcome these new Council members into the fray and hope that they will look at this with a new perspective. The Lawyers have been doing a fantastic job. I also appreciate the help from the NRA. No matter what, I will continue this fight all the way to the Supreme Court if need be. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you at the shop when you come by. Very Respectfully, Todd |

Wow that's interesting. I wish this person said something to me at the time. I'm sorry if I offended you, I think my sense of humor might have rubbed you the wrong way. I don't quite remember the transaction, but I do believe that if I got you a g19 I had to replace the hi-cap mags with a single 10 rounder, but explained to to that you could wait for another g19 with 2-10 rounders. You chose to buy the one you could get at the time. Again I wish you said something at the time especially if I was offending you.

Don't know how he stays in business with his hours of operation, 10am -4pm and closed on the weekends. Business might dramatically improve if he is opened if he extends his hours into the evening when working folks can swing by to support him.

Notwithstanding the merit of some of what you've said, he is open on Saturdays from 10-2.

Transferred a Spike's Tactical complete rifle in July 2016 and a stripped Noveske lower receiver just before the New Year!
Todd is my go-to FFL! Always respectful and that attitude is actually personality. Rock on, Brother! |

Just got my rifle back from him over the weekend. Simple fix (for him) but happy customer (me). Many thanks.
You guys out there give me some business. He deserves it.

Todd is great...I just DROS a Cz97b and PPT a BHP on 4/1. I'm new to firearms hobby and Todd hasn't made me feel uncomfortable in his shop the few times I've used his services. I like his humor, some might not...but I like straightforward people and will continue supporting his business

If you don't have a smart phone he has an iPad mounted on his counter that you can fill out your application on. Obviously in this case you won't be able to save time for future purchases or transfers as your info won't be saved on the tablet. |

Updated to add: VERY neat! Opened the app and I was able to scan the barcode on the back of my Drivers License and it autofilled most of my info! Just had to fill in a few things. Very easy and user friendly.
