I was wondering if anyone knew of a range that had a CZ shadow 2 or SP-01 for rental, bonus points if it has a dot. I am in the Seattle area and wanted to try one out to see if it was worth saving my pennies for or if i will remain in team Glock™️ forever.

As the title says, trying to determine if I can sell this barrel. PrimaryArms ships threaded barrels to Washington but PSA doesn't. Just looking for a resource.

Can’t seem to find one anywhere. Anyone know if they even make a 10rd version?

I have a common question, but with a unique variation that I haven't seen discussed on reddit or youtube.

Lets assume:

1. You have been a WA resident for <1 year

2. You have 15rd mags

3. You legitimately use your firearm in self defense. You are legally justified in your use.

4. You evoke your right to remain silent about the mags

Will a prosecutor go after your for your mags? Are you some how guilty 'by default' because of a less than 2 yr residency? Length of residency implying these were imported or otherwise obtained illegally with a <2 yr statute of limitations. Or will a prosecutor have to prove you obtained them illegally first before you can be charged?

So to get this out of the way, I'm retarded. Now hopefully we can move on.

I owned 5 guns (legally obviously) that were stolen when my house was broken in to and ransacked 6+ months ago. My roommate and I were devastated. My roommate had cash stolen and they stole all 5 of my guns.

I will spare you all the reasons I didn't call the police and just say that I didn't. We didn't even report the robbery in general. I took a picture of my ransacked room, and my roommate may have as well, but other than that it's his word and mine.

Well, I have lived with the anxiety of one of these guns being found or used in a crime and going to prison for a long time floating over me. Not looking for sympathy, just being honest. There was a time when I got serious and I tried to track down the serial numbers of each gun before reporting it but every FFL I went to said that they don't have the serial numbers on file. So once again I "moved on".

Well, now I really want to report the guns stolen but with this new law ( link ) I'm worried about the (admittedly justified) $1000 fine, and also whether I might say something that will get me in more trouble for talking to the police.

Looking for advice or knowledge of what not to say when contacting the police.

Thanks in advance!

I am moving to South Dakota soon. I plan on purchasing a gun there (first time gun owner). I would like to have the gun immediately for self defense and to learn it quickly with an instructor, but do I need to go through the 10-day wait when I buy in SD since I will be a resident of WA until I get my license?

What are the repercussions of violating a Ceasefire location? Does having a CCW allow you to carry in these locations? Their website is very vague beyond they send businesses a sign saying "Gun Free Zone"

Fixed magazine, I understand. But isn't it fall to the category of "AR15, M16, or M4 in all forms" in the ban list?

Been going to local shops in my area and stumbled upon Iron Monkey in Bothell. They don’t have much, they specialize in customizing guns. Something that caught my eye was that they sell smgs chambered in .22. All the other shops I’ve been to they were the only ones who carried these weapons. Does anyone know if any other shops sell these kind of weapons?

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did a search and didn't see a definitive answer so I figured I'd toss it out and see what the hive-mind has to offer.

Looking at the Samson B-Team stocks for a 10/22.

Looks like the folding stock stock rule only applies to center fired rifles, not rimfire. But not seeing much about how the OAL is determined. Is there any established definition of whether it's measured from the fully extended length or when it's in its most compact form?

Thanks.

I’m buying a mossberg 500 series shotgun online through Sportsman’s warehouse. I’m a little unfamiliar with the process, it seems simple but I don’t want to fuck it up.

Will all the necessary paperwork required for me to legally own a shotgun be completed in store? If not where can I go to finish the rest of it?

Edit: based on the responses provided on the post, I purchased the firearm online and it’s being shipped to my local dealer. Thank you all for your responses and advice, I really appreciate it.

Looking for the best holsters and conceal carry options. I know I’ll end up buying a few options as I learn what works best. Being that I need the trigger safely contained, please keep that in mind.

I’m a female and have a young child(not crawling yet). All of the stuff I find when searching are just ads and sponsored material, targeting women for cute purses and bags. Looking for actual experiences, good or bad. Any brands to avoid? I’ll likely get a pair of leggings meant to carry- though with this gun I know I’ll need to be sure the trigger can’t be accidentally touched. I often wear my boyfriend’s baggy shirts so waist carrying is probably the most practical. There’s a few waistbands I’ve seen as well which I’ll definitely get, just unsure what brand and features to look for. And fear not, I won’t be carrying it in my purse.

Washington used to be a great, beautiful state. Despite long being a blue state, Washington still had no income tax and no stupid gun laws. Over the past several years that's all gone to hell. California-level gun laws and a dumb capital gains tax which is just going to get worse.

Heck, they even instituted a bag tax in 2021, another step in WA's long plummet into becoming a true leftist hellhole.

All good things must come to an end. It is clear that Washington's time has passed and that it has now joined the ranks of California and other leftist nanny states. I hope everyone enjoyed it while it lasted.

One part of the new WA laws says it's not permitted to build an untraceable firearm for sale, then another part of the chapter says it's prohibited to possess an 'untraceable' firearm. 😵‍💫

Then I have to have a person licensed by the Feds to engrave firearms... the ATF says I can engrave the serial number they issue for NFA items. Is the Washington serial number scheme even consistent with the ATF one?

What a 💩 show to wade through. I know I'm not the smartest guy in the room, but I'm not stupid. I think. Would I know?

This is doing that thing where trying to abide by the law by following the legal process is so onerous and convoluted good citizens but to become scofflaws. Or in this case a felon. Which I do not want.

Recently saw a post on WAguns that the SW 422 has a barrel bushing which can be swapped out for a threaded bushing; since the barrel isn't threaded and isn't the one accepting the muzzle device, would this be legal?

Follow up question, does anyone have recommendations for handguns with this kind of system?

I can’t find a straight answer on Google I know I have to submit an application to the ATF but I want a BAR because it just sounds cool and would be a cool flex and I just want one really bad after using it in hell let loose.

Greater Seattle area preferably south of Seattle

As you might imagine it’s hard to find like minded and motivated people in the Seattle area who are serious about shooting and I’m looking for people who want to team up. I primarily want to train in CQB and medical

Hi all,

I just got out of jail, after two days I was released without charge from downtown Seattle. I wasn't given any kind of receipt for my firearms. Since I don't have any charges and have the right to get them back, where do I go and what are the chances the cops "can't find them"? Thanks!

I'm flying on United Airlines out of SeaTac soon and under their 'Ammunition we don't accept' policy they have a bullet point that states

Different quantities of ammunition combined in one package

I have no idea what this means. Do any of you? Customer service was pretty useless here.

Does anybody know the company out here that is primarily ran by guys who were in 2/75 and first group? Can't seem to find them. I'm hoping they didn't go out of business.

I own an AR pistol (5.56/.223) that is not particularly pleasant to shoot since the BATF banned the wrist brace. My question is, can I buy the parts or complete upper to convert it to a full size rifle (18" or 20" barrel) in WA? The language in the law is not very clear there.

In the state of Washington, am I allowed to sell an ar15 upper to someone? If so how would i do so? I have an upper that I absolutely don't like but its from a nice brand and I'd rather not just let it sit forever

I had heard they closed (probably due to assholes leaving trash behind), just curious if they’re back open.

Hi all, tired of ranges getting too packed with people. I want to know if anyone has some good spots out that way to get some alone time to practice. I know this is a long shot.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT TL DR; what optics set up and why is best for an AR-15 in Western Washington?

Finally getting around to building out my general purpose AR that will be my main squeeze and I’m having a tough time deciding on my optic setup. It is an Aero Precision X15 complete rifle with a 16” barrel, and a mid length gas system.

General purpose meaning to me that this rifle can adequately engage targets in close quarters and out to distance. It will have to fill the role of being both a home defense carbine and my go-to-war gun if SHTF.

There are two paths of thought that I have and I will lay the case for both.

LPVO and red dot, the variable power optic is undoubtedly the most common optic I see on general purpose builds. The optic setup I am thinking about it is the Primary Arms SLX 1-6x with the Nova reticle with some robust Mount that allows mounting a Trijicon RM. I know the RMR may seem redundant when the Nova is supposedly very adequate for CQB at the 1x magnification. At 6x shooting out to 600 meters shouldn’t be a problem so that’s where the LPVO shines. But the RMR does allow for night vision shooting capabilities which is something I’m interested in.

However, the EOtech with a 3x magnifier is very tempting, mainly because I think if I were to get into any real world fight, it would likely be in CQB distances (under 100 meters) and obviously the holographic sight outclasses the LPVO in CQB. The magnifier should allow accuracy out to 300 yards so it would definitely cut my range in my half but at with benefit of being quicker to acquire and very capable with night vision. The main drawbacks would be battery life, having to manually turn the optic on every time you get into a fight, and having my accuracy drastically decreased at range.

I’m asking this question, because I haven’t built a rifle like this before, I’m new to shooting. I don’t know it all, and I know you guys should make some good points in regard to our environment here in Washington, we live in a wet, brushy, mountainous environment which surely affects our setups.

Hey guys,

Quick Question:

I just turned 21 and I am looking to possibly buy a Sig P320 and legally possess it here in the state of WA, but I am not sure if I can do that if WA is not my home state of residence and I don’t have a form of WA state ID at all (I only have CO). I am a current college student and am looking to simply just have a sidearm here in my apartment for self-defense in a big city like Seattle. It is my understanding that you need to be resident of the state of WA to conceal carry, so unfortunately that is out of the question, but I would love to be able to simply legally possess a firearm here in my current situation. Is this possible? Thank you!

PS: I am NOT a CC licensee in the state of CO either. I do want to get mine soon though once I am home for an amount of time that I can do it.

Hello everyone, I apologize if I am somewhat ignorant, I only own a few guns mostly for hunting and a self-defense handgun. I have recently been thinking about buying an SKS, hopefully European made, they're beautiful looking.

I have recently been learning about the process of obtaining a training certificate per HB1143/I-1639, and I did it online through sporting systems but I just wanted to ask are they actually legit? It seemed like a total joke, I'm not one for training as a necessity but if they are going to force us that was nothing.

I also was wondering how do I even go about getting an SKS? I know a recent law has banned a few rifles but I have no idea if it's even being enforced or if its being held up in courts.

I've been looking online and I know it's somewhat difficult to have stuff shipped to us. Should I just go talk to an FFL and go from there?

One last thing, would the bayonet be legal? I have no clue about the legality of knives in our state and based on our gun laws, I'm just assuming it's not?
