Rain city

A female co worker of mine was interested in owning her first handgun. She asked me if she can come with me to my next range visit. Last month I took her to rain city indoor range. She liked it and got comfortable enough to purchasing. Three weeks ago she went to the store front and asked to purchase a new handgun a Glock 48 mos. She wanted a new one. The person who helped her sold her a used one and it says used on the receipt but not the sales tag for 550$ plus tax which came out to $642. I mean this is deceitful usually the price tag has "used" and $642 for a used Glock 48 mos is way too high. What can we do here? She paid with credit card.

Pin and weld north of Seattle

I looked at old posts in this group and all good pin and weld providers are near Tacoma or Kent. Are there any north of Seattle that can remove an old pin and weld and add a new one?

Anyone else see this?? Was curious when it was released but didn’t want to drop $3K. This comes with a free p365 too!

Just ordered mine and am stoked for it and the pistol! Not that I would ever do this, but my friend did also say you can mount it on any milspec lower with an adapter…

Compensators and threaded barrels

Hey everyone, I’m looking for help on figuring out the legalities of acquiring a compensator for my handgun. I see that Washington state law doesn’t allow threaded barrels, but I know friends that have silencers and obviously you need threaded barrel for that. Im assuming I can’t conceal carry a firearm with a threaded barrel, but can I purchase one and have it as a range toy? Install it and transfer it or install it at the range. Any advice and information would be helpful. Thank you!

What, if any, politicians are pro-gun this election?

Pretty much what the title says. What politicians should we consider voting for (even if it's because they are only slightly better than the other one) that are pro gun. And who don't we want at any cost?

Unconstitutional laws and purchases

Hi, I have a question, specifically about the ar15 platform. When it comes to the law does it make it so you cannot possibly purchase a lower or is it the entirety of the platform?

Henry X Model Build

Just finished my Henry X Model 30-30 build! This thing is an absolute beast.

I’ve only been able to sight it in at 25 yards at an indoor range, but I’m planning a trip out to east Washington to sight it at 100 yards.

Stiffler SM19 Complete Slides

SM19 Viper FDE Complete Slide

Shop News

We're working on turning some of our SM19 Stripped Slides into Complete Slides which will be ready to swap onto any G19.3 compatible complete frame whether Glock OEM, PSA, SCT, Geisler, P80, etc and be ready to use.

As for the Prototype Gen 1-3 SM17 Ported Slide we've been working on, we're still doing some finishing work on it to get it range test ready. Once we complete that and it passes the range we'll begin working on setting it up for larger scale production. Still no timeline, but we're making progress.

Thanks to everyone who reached out with questions and support.

Stay 2A everyday.

Involuntary commitment as a juvenile over 10 years ago and 2A rights restoration

Hello, I'm struggling to find any upfront straight forward answers on this no matter how extensively i research or how many people I talk to. I was involuntarily committed to a children's psychiatric unit that was 1000% supposed to be voluntary, my mom who signed it trusted the lady after telling her she didn't want me to live my rights and i assume she didn't read the paper before signing it. 10 years later as i go to apply door my CWP im learning im denied because of this and later I go on to petition my firearm rights to be restored in Superior court in which it was successful. A week after I re applied and again was denied, though I learned I might have had to wait 30-90 days becore re-applying. Ive talked to people at gun stores, lawyers, and they all tell me I cant get my rights back federally. Though I just called to request my medical records (unfortunately theyre destroyed after 10 years) and the man I spoke with saod juvenile records arew sealed because I was a minor so I should be in the clear? Can someone help me understand please.

Also why can criminals be forgiven and have a chance to restore theirs when they chose to make bad decisions when some people, a lot of people especially these days have harmless depression episodes that can occur once and never again never get the chance to restore their rights? Personally most depressed people think lastly of harming others besides theirselves if anything and usually not even that is the case. Can we get together and foght for the law to be changed?

Vertical Foregrip Legality

I know people probably asked this question before but I can’t find any definitive information on google. Can I put a Samson M-LOK Vertical Grip with Grenade Texture or a BCM Gunfighter Mod 3 Vertical Grip on a 11.5 ARP build that has a Law Folder on it?

Private transfer to WA resident

I have an out of state friend that wants to gift me a non-assault weapon shotgun. Can he ship directly to my FFL, or does he need an FFL in his state to ship to my FFL?

DS-15 Fixed Mag Build in 300blk - Does it work?

**first off, my first build overall so appreciate any helpful tips, advice, positive inputs etc. 👌

When I came across the DS-15 fixed magazine, many of you suggested building instead of buying straight up so I obliged and here’s what I’ve got so far…

Haven’t fired yet but happy to report zero slop between the receivers.

Do you get butterflies about taking it to the range first time? 😅

Shotguns, suppressors, and threaded barrel questions

Looking for some clarification on what constitutes a threaded barrel on a shotgun, WRT adding a suppressor. Say I have a semi-automatic shotgun, with a removable choke system. Am I legally able to add a suppressor given that most of them (all?) seem to mount via a device that screws into the internal choke threads? My FFL seems to think it's at best a gray area, given that the choke is threaded. Now I'm just confused.

Looking for rolls of grip tape

Does anyone have any good recommendations for the title? All I keep finding are reviews and articles for “sheet” style stuff. Or piss poorly written/AI product shilling stuff. I have big palms and meat hook fingers. Jokingly, think buff Burger King small hands. If you’re old enough you know the commercial. Looking to try a few things to address a better grip on my pistols. The roll type stuff will allow me to do so, cheaply and on the fly at the range.

As always, thank you in advance. One of my favorite subs.

Package forwarding service for legal items

The number of retailers who don’t actually read the laws and do a blanket “ban” on all firearm-related purchases is getting to me. I know we shouldn’t support places that are quick to aid the anti-gun lobby’s efforts, but I also just want less of a headache.

Has anyone used a package forwarding service to get around this (once again, for legal items)? i.e. I buy an address in Montana, order some pistol irons, and they ship to my WA address for a small fee?

Any services you would recommend? Do they open/inspect, or just blindly forward? I don’t care too much as long as I get my stuff, but the more privacy the better

Question on voting

During primary someone put together a nice little summary on who to vote in order to support the 2A community. Is there anything similar out there now everyone is getting their mail in ballet?

Edit: my main question are more regarding the nonpartisan office. E.g., Supreme Court Sal Mungia vs Dave Larson
