Williams Arms Grand Re-Opening

Many loyal customers were excited to hear that Williams Arms was moving to a new location. They didn’t have to wait long though as the whole process from conception to fruition took only 60 days and the store was open for business the whole time! Indeed, the entire inventory of guns was moved to the new location in less than 24 hours!

I arrived early and parked in front of the old store for posterity.

Luckily I made it to the Grand Re-Opening in time to see opening remarks to an already forming crowd.

Next, the ribbon cutting ceremony. This is the third or fourth time I have been at a ribbon cutting for a gun store and it is a great feeling!

And now into the new store! Upon entrance it feels more open and airy than the previous location, at least brighter.

There were reps on site to answer questions, like my good friend farmboy from Gravel (who I will be seeing again next week at TACCOM)

Guns and swag to be raffled off for the occasion

Alright let’s look at some guns! I headed straight for the tactical shotguns

Where I found a nice set in matching green lol. Beretta 1301, Chruchill with shockwave type grip, and Canuck Operator

Or if you prefer less tactical, a Beretta A400 perfect for waterfowl

Or fancier still, a Beretta Silver Pigeon

Ok on to bolt action and other long-guns

I was pleased to see some options in semi-auto, such as the BCL Siberian. I saw this at TACCOM last year and this was the first one I have seen in the wild.

Williams has something for all your shooting needs…eyes and ears

Reloading

Black powder

Optics from Vortex and Bushnell

Knives

And of course the great service and super nice people you have come to expect from Williams. Congrats once again on the new store and great job, especially in such a short time. I am sure Mr. Williams would be proud of his legacy and I am sure the new store will be just as successful.

As is customary for me, I like to visit a local eatery after my store tours. I picked a local “institution” just 5 min away, Haugen’s BBQ and Chicken. This place has been featured on the Food Network and is very popular spot for motorcyclists. I can see why as it has beautiful expansive grounds.
