Pinto's Guns

Pinto's Guns operates as an FFL dealer on Wells Ave South in Renton, handling firearms sales, transfers, and ammunition for the Northwest. The shop is staffed by working shooters—many are Washington State Hunter Education instructors and avid military rifle enthusiasts—which shows in their inventory and services.

Ammo selection is their standout: rifle, pistol, and shotgun ammunition from 17 caliber to 50 BMG, 410 gauge to 10 gauge. What makes them different is the military cartridge focus. You'll find 7mm Mauser, 7.5 French, 6.5 Carcano, 8mm Mauser, 30-40 Krag, and 303 British in stock regularly. They carry Federal, Winchester, Hornady, CCI, Prvi Partizan, Wolf, and Remington, and special orders are available for calibers and brands not on hand. Case prices available on some rounds.

Beyond ammo, they buy, trade, and consign firearms—whether you're moving 5 guns or 150. They handle estate purchases and appraisals, and also buy firearm accessories, reloading equipment, supplies, and military collectibles. Staff can identify and value anything from 1800s production to current models.
