Interested in getting a Saiga 410 shotgun in unmodified form. I understand that a Saiga with a pistol grip isn’t legal. Will I be able to get one as long as it has a the traditional hunting style stock?

Not having any luck finding somewhere to transfer a mini 14. any place that has them in stock in or around fife

Any lower priced transfers around Spokane these days? Pretty new to this side. I want to get a microdagger frame for my g43, but it's hard to justify the typical $40+$18 I'm seeing on a $60 frame. Wondering if maybe there's a smaller/home ffl I'm not seeing

Hey guys, One of my pre ban lowers is damaged. Long story short, the threads on the lower for the buffer tube are no longer usable. To the best of my knowledge, it is not illegal to replace or repair components for grandfathered rifle’s. Has anyone gone through the process of replacing a lower receiver? If so, can you point me in the correct direction? Thanks in advance

I know of a few spots myself but my go to is currently being worked by loggers during the week. I'd like to get out and get some ammo therapy while my kid is at the inlaws.

The other spots are too far out for a quick trip

About 5 or 6 years ago I attempted to buy a handgun in Oregon (that's where I lived at the time)... the NICS check came back as delayed. Not sure why, but ok, waited a few days and called the gun store to see if I cleared... still hadn't... called back about 2 or 3 weeks later and it was still delayed... after that I gave up.
This is really irritating... I understand that dealers CAN sell after 3 days... but from what I gather most won't... what gives? I totally feel like my 2nd amendment rights are being violated. What can be done? Who will sell after the 3 days and the delay never gets cleared?

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that traveling with firearms can be a stressful experience because the process differs so much between airports. For instance:

• Some airports require you to go to oversized baggage and wait for TSA to inspect your firearm.
• Others escort you to a designated area where TSA meets you and handles the inspection.
• In some cases, you hand off your bag and are told, “If you don’t hear anything in 20 minutes, you’re good to go.”

When traveling through an airport for the first time, this is especially difficult.

I’m creating a free website that offers clear, airport specific, step-by-step guides to firearm declaration processes, helping travelers understand what to expect on the ground. The idea is to help people prepare before they arrive, especially when traveling through an airport for the first time.

If you’ve traveled with a firearm, what’s been your biggest challenge? Do you have any tips for other travelers?

Would a resource like this be helpful to you?

Anybody know of any decent rifle ranges in the Arlington/Stanwood/Skagit area? The only ranges that I know of that are still open are all down south.

I appreciate the info!

My buddy has an AR-15 he bought pre ban, and he was talking about selling it, and I was wondering if we took it to an FFL does pre ban acquired ARs still apply to the ban? Would I be able to purchase his AR? I couldn't really find a part of the law that specifically mentioned private sales of banned guns that are already in existence. So if anyone has any advice or tips on that. I just wanna buy my buddies AR lol

Would this get shipped to Washington?

Just a quick little hypothetical question. If I were to screw around with a orca lower in cad and print one with a fixed magazine like the ds15, could in theory get it serialized?

What do we have left for 9mm or .45 acp PCC options in this state? Just want something cool.

I know 99% of cops or ranges or whoever probably wouldn’t care but I’m just wondering

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Seattle and am looking for some advice. I live near Lake City and would love recommendations for a shooting range that’s affordable, clean, and beginner-friendly.

I’m also interested in trying out the Walther PDP F-Series, but it seems like most range rentals don’t carry it. Does anyone know of a place nearby where I could give it a try?

Lastly, I’m looking for a shooting buddy! If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice!

My earlier post regarding someone in the politcal sector, was quite active as my phone kept going off with notifications, The post has been removed/closed which I understand. I rarely create a post so I was shocked to see so many commentls floodiing in. I did try to respond to all. To be compliant, I will not discuss the nature of the post as I enjoy this forum and the ideas/thoughts we share. All the best to you!

Unfortunately, years ago my IWI Uzi Pro pistol was stolen (and reported as such). I fear it may never be recovered, and if it was it'd have to be shipped back into WA by out-of-state police. Now with the AWB in place, is there anything that could be a suitable replacement, limited to 10 rounds? Perhaps a rimfire? I miss it a lot, it was one of my favorites in the collection.

Any recommendations on who to send one to? Also what optics are good for it? Heard holosun 407/507k is possible when milled. Would also like to keep current Dawson precision and have co-witness. Thanks for the recs

How about no

I purchased a firearm (glock-17) while I was in Kansas from a co-worker, was fairly new at the time, and was registered to him. As someone who hasn't done much with firearms but am looking more into it (going to the range, etc), I want to make sure I register the firearm under my name properly and know what limitations I have.

I have since moved to Washington state for a while and never got around to registering the pistol. I also lost the original bill-of-sale from the owner.

My questions are: a) does that bill of sale matter when I'm registering the firearm? and b) where should I go/ what do I need to do to make sure I register it legally?

I am sick and tired of this fucking place. They tend to hire people who make smart ass comments. I tend to brush it off since there aren't a lot of ranges I can go to that are close by.

Sorry no details in case they lurk here but just wanted to vent my frustration.

Long story short, I was involuntary commited (wrongly) and told if I agreed to 90 day LRA of medication taking and making doctors appointments I could be released. They said I lost my gun rights but that they could be restored (later learning restoring in wa doesn't restore federally). I was told after the 90 days my record would be sealed. Does record being sealed mean that NICS reporting doesn't occur and therefore doesn't ban me federally?

Just moved to the state of Washington recently, wondering if sig grip modules are on the naughty list. I know the FCU is the serialized part and needs to go through an FFL. Do the grip modules fit the frames/receivers rule? You can buy from sig themself or plenty other online retailers. Don’t want to waste my time if the order will just be denied.

Thanks in advance.
