I want my first hunting rifle and I have decided either a Ruger 77 Hawkeye or a Winchester 70. 30-06. All I see on armslist is from dealers. What should I expect to pay for either of these on the low end? Is there a better place besides armslist? Was thinking about going to the tanner gun show in pueblo next weekend but last show I went to 2 years ago was bare and super pricey, not sure if it's still that way

Looking to purchase a 5.56 here soon and wondering where people have bought from and had them shipped to the metro area. I didn't realize how hard it can be to get even just parts sent to you if your in this area. I had a company cancel an order I made for a striped pistol slide recently (despite there being nothing wrong with that as best I can tell) so I started looking more into retailers FAQs. I was looking to order something from PSA since they deal with pieces in my general budget but it looks like they wont ship anything period to the area. I talked to my FFL and he said PSA is "generally the hardest to get anything from". Has anyone in the area received a 5.56 or kit from them? Are there other retailers that you've used?

The good news: No major infringements will be coming federally, and we have pro gun Judges and Justices ready to be appointed for at least the next 2 years.

Also, ranked choice voting failed which gives us (or rather our state parties) the chance to moderate to win in Colorado. Fat chance I know.

Finally, no astroturfers today as every 4-8 years an R wins the presidency and the astroturfers don’t have their marching orders on what to say for about 24 hours or so. Enjoy today on reddit!

Bad news: Colorado went left and will virtue signal hard due to the Trump presidency. That means I expect antigun BS to pass this session. Start contacting your representatives now to fight back! Otherwise the AWB will come this time.

We will now need to pay 6.5% more on guns and ammo purchases went it comes into law…

Any local gun stores that carry savior equipment or ifak pouches from other makes? Wanted to support a local business before just ordering directly off websites.

I’ve searched it up but Google won’t give me a clear cut answer but I’m almost positive me at 20 yrs old can walk into a gun store and buy an ar15 since it is technically a rifle correct?

My CCW is up for renewal but I can't find my original course certificate. What do I do?

Yes I know that this is a subreddit about Colorado Gun owners but wanted to ask anyways since Utah is the land of the guns and allows the following.

I am a Colorado resident, fully registered in Colorado, though currently in Utah for college. I plan to compete in biathlon this year using a rifle registered in my father’s name. To clarify, I am legally allowed to own a firearm and am not restricted in any way.

I understand there are general legal nuances around lending or gifting firearms across state lines, although these laws tend to be less strict within families. Colorado and Utah laws permit such "transfers" in certain contexts, and Utah specifically allows firearm lending for sports purposes. Given my residency in Colorado but part-time presence in Utah, what legal considerations apply when transporting a borrowed firearm across state lines?

Are there specific written agreements, waivers, or official paperwork recommended to cover liability and ensure compliance with state and federal laws?

While I am aware of the option to conduct an FFL transfer, as a 19-year-old, I would face extended background checks (one shop told me it takes 20-40 days due to interstate communications and such), which doesn’t align with my current competition schedule. Therefore, I intend to complete an FFL transfer in the spring when I have time.

Thank you all for your time and help!

Obviously everyone should go vote, especially no on Prop KK, the firearms and ammo tax.

However, if it passes, it’ll take effect on April 1, 2025. It may be wise to buy a few boxes before the election as if it passed I assume more people will drive up the prices in the state.

Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone,

I recently inherited a .45 from my late father and I’ve been interested in taking it to a range. Growing up I always went with him, and he took care of everything and taught me the 10 commandments. Now years later I’m looking to go to a range solo, but I’m not sure what I should prep or expect. I was hoping yall could give me some insights of good ranges around the Denver metro to try, and a checklist of stuff to bring/ be prepared for. I currently have a pelican case to transport the firearm and only 2 clips of ammo on hand.

Some questions I have are:

Should I purchase ammo beforehand and bring it to the range? Or do they have some for sale there?

I need eye protection and ear protection, what should I look into purchasing?

Is there a video link someone could share about etiquette to respect other shooters in lanes next to you? (like bowling before someone next to you)

I just want to make sure I have a professional experience and don’t ruin someone else’s. The last thing I want to do is come in and make a noob mistake to upset others or the staff.

Any sort of help/insight to a first-timer would be appreciated!

I know there is a designated range on the Pawnee grassland, but is the rest of the grasslands open for shooting? Is there a good place or is it just find a spot with. Decent backstop?

This sounds like a silly question, but I just ordered some night vision goggles recently, and I was wondering if there were any ranges where I can go and try them out in Colorado? And if not, what can I do legally when it comes to shooting at night. It’s not for hunting but for just general training.

This is the most recent I can find, and says "The plaintiffs have until Oct. 15 to show cause, at which point the defendants will be able to respond until Oct. 29.":

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners ordered to provide further evidence in lawsuit over Boulder County assault weapon ban

Also, vote NO on prop KK!

If you actually can’t vote for a presidential candidate (which is dumb, sorry) at least vote on local politicians and propositions/issues.

Currently living in Texas and I’ve amassed quite the collection. I’ve got a bunch of 30 round mags for Glocks and ARs. I really miss Denver and Colorado as a whole and planned to move back in a couple years, but considering the existing laws and recently passed ones, I’m seriously reconsidering moving back. Am I crazy?

Obviously, voting No, but I didn’t see anything specifically mentioning suppressors in the proposition language.

They probably fall into this:

“Certain firearm parts, components, and accessories, and parts that may be used to construct a firearm;”

Also, if passed, does it go into effect right away or Jan 1 2025?

In a few months, I will be leaving Colorado and moving back east to NJ, a less-free state with respect to firearms. I need some compliance work done on one of my rifles - basically just pinning the adjustable stock in place. I do not have the tools to do it myself. Any recs for a shop in Northern CO (Boulder/Longmont/Broomfield/Loveland/etc) who do this 4.5-min of work and not charge a ridiculous amount of money?

I just noticed the Harris Park range has been taken off the CPW shooting range finder. Looked it up on google and saw it’s listed as temporarily closed. I know we got some snow last weekend but I doubt it was enough to shut even that road down. Anyone know what’s going on?

I recently bought an aero epc lower and I want to built a suppressed 7” barrel 9mm carbine for home defense. What makes this a legal vs illegal build ?
