That place was just one backside collision away from an explosive ending.

Just a wreck?

No web indication that anything is amiss. No news stories. Stolen car burglary?

Just called…… they are back open. They did say I didn't ask.

I was only there once. Picked up a rifle I won at a banquet. My kind of place. Lots of old stuff to dig through. Kind of like how the old gun shows used to be.

I was there today. I noticed they had some Federal large rifle primers on the shelf, I didn't look at the price as I was looking for small pistol primers (they have Federal and CCI). They also have a pretty good selection of powder, mainly one pounders.

Didn't know they had moved. Mind you I moved out of Auburn over 20 years ago, kind of surprised they are still around.
What about Butches? They still on Aurora / 99 ?

I dunno, but with Pinto as a name, the joke practically writes itself!

Butches has not been at that location for a number of years.

Well, the name choices were J. Hi-Point, J. Jimenez, or J. Pinto. Easy.

I think it is owned/run by the daughter of the fellow that owed Pinto's in Auburn. She has always been nice and friendly to deal with when I've gone in there. Prices always seemed to be in-line with other small businesses, Ben's Loan & such. I try to support the Local small businesses, as much as possible....JMHO....

Don't mean to resurrect an old thread, but I haven't thought about Butch's in a long time.
I went in there a couple of times for a haircut (remember, there was a barber shop in there, too). Took a look around the gun shop. Never bought anything there...maybe I should've.

Then...



Now (April 2019)...



The Precise Shooter is listed as "Permanently Closed", as well (now in Woodinville)
