Just wanted to share some appreciation for J&B Firearms and their gunsmith u/ProceonLabs
I had bought an SRO to replace my 507c. The guys at Jagerwerks over torqued it so I nearly stripped the screws trying to replace it myself.
Emailed JB and got a quick response so I made the 40 min drive over, and I was in and out in 10 mins with the optic replaced for $35. The guys are always quick to provide service and they asked and dry fired my P10C about my serration cuts.
While I was over, I overhead another customer seeing if they had any 12ga snap caps, they didnt have any in stock so they ordered some more and gave the customer the shop-owned one free of charge.
I've been a loyal customer over there since BM114 since they were one of the first ones to start releasing firearms under the 3 day release. They got a wide side selection, tons of red dots, silencershop kiosk, and a gunsmith. It's my one stop shop for all things firearms.
So I want to buy a dagger from psa but I’ve never bought a gun online before and was wondering about a couple things. For one, can I buy one with a threaded barrel in Oregon? I’m having trouble finding a good answer on that and curious alongside that about how cautious you have to be about what you buy or if it just varies depending on the site. For the shipping process it sounds like you just find an ffl to have it shipped to but is there anything I should be aware of any advice or anything
Im looking at buying the P365xFuse but I’m curious if anyone here has one and their thoughts. I’d also like to shoot it before I buy it and would be down to organize a range day if someone has one and would let me shoot theirs. I have a few guns of my own and would be down to shoot them together also. I’ll buy the ammo! Thanks.
Needing a new safe. At least a 30 rifle 60 minute fire rating.
Looking for .45 long colt specifically for my pops new Henry rifle.
Just hoping to get him hooked up for his big 7-0th birthday next week!
Any brands ya'll really prefer would be a bonus as well!
Hello fellow shooters! I just moved in from out of state to Southern Oregon and am heading out as soon as the weather clears up to find a couple shooting spots out on BLM land (OnXHunt app is a godsend).
My question is whether or not the steel targets I brought with me are allowed to be shot at on public land during the off season. My understanding is that they are not allowed during fire season, but not sure if it's year round or not. If anyone knows off the top of their head that would be a big help. Nothing quite beats a good DING that you can only get from steel.
Hi guys, moved to the vancouver wa area and would like to go shooting, originally from a small town where we could just drive down the dirt road behind our house and shoot, more complicated here in a big city. would prefer not to shoot at a range and be outdoors, let me know. thanks :)
I bought a Franklin Binary trigger kit for my AR earlier this year. There is a slight amount of slop when I have the safety selector set to safe, enough to drop the hammer. Anyone else experienced this? I reached out to them and they had me RMA. I just got the kit back and they said they replaced the sear spring, sent me a new hammer and have tested this in a milspec lower dry firing and ran 60 rounds of live and had no problems. I put the "remanufactured" trigger back in, following all safety and installation instructions and am producing the same result. My rifle will fire on safe which is unsafe lol.
Hey all, was wondering if there are any recommendations for where to go shooting on BLM land or other out of the way areas? I know all the general rules, be safe in knowing where you are shooting, be respectful, leave the area better than you found it. But I am new to the area and looking for recommendations for outdoor areas where we can go plinking. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I have a chronic illness that keeps me housebound. I still want to express my 2A rights and have something for self defense.
Is it possible to have a licensed seller visit my home, complete a background check, and sell me a gun?
Not trying to get around any laws. Genuinely want to do things properly, just leaving the house to go to a store would be a massive undertaking.
If you know of a legitimate seller willing to do this, please let me know.
Cheers
Hi Y’all,
I’ve been interested in getting into competitive shooting, match shooting, and training, but I am having little luck finding anything using Google.
Any links, advice, or info is welcome! Thank you!
Just wondering if I need an SBR stamp. I have a lower with a pistol brace and I want to buy a 7.5 inch upper.
Looking for a reputable shop to make a straight sale (no consignment, not meeting somebody from the forums) on popular guns in excellent condition. Anyone got a place they feel strongly about recommending?
Hey gang,
Anyone know of a shop near Salem that has Staccatos in stock?
I purchased a handgun from my brother-in-law +5 yrs ago and we never transferred gun ownership. He is no longer my brother-in-law. Do we now need to transfer ownership?
Does anyone have experience with this facility? If so, what do you think? Is it worth joining if you like to shoot once a week (ish)?

I used a bore laser to adjust a new scope on my 556. I just did it at home and the farthest distance I was able to do it at is roughly 15 yards. When I go to the range and shoot, 25, 50, 100 yards should I expect to be way off? Ive never mounted a scope before and in just curious so I know if I'm shooting bad or if it's the optics fault.
Title says it all. I've already bought a house, still in the process of packing/moving, and I'm trying to get bills sent to my address ASAP. I'll be in town this Wednesday, and Im hoping to pick up some mags since I plan on buying an AR or two and maybe a carbine and wanna get em before 114 goes into effect
Unfortunately I don't have an Oregon ID yet, and I'm unsure if having a Cali ID will prevent me from getting the ball rolling on my 2A hoarding. I've seen posts that most stores say something about not selling anything to anyone with a Cali ID, but I'm wondering if I show up with like proof I own a house and a job offer letter that they'll let me slide? I don't have addressed bills in-hand yet. I can show them my "primary residence" mortgage contract and a signed offer letter tho lol
I'm assuming with 114 looming stuff is flying off the shelves, so I could use some recs on where to do my shopping. As I said I'm looking to get mags for the AR platform, but am open to advice from the community since I'm new to flexing my 2A rights. Currently have a cowboy lever action, a wheel gun, and an M9/92fs.
Also what're y'all's favorite ranges around PDX?
Thanks
Edit: Thanks everyone. i picked up 10 Magpul AR mags, an AR15 drum mag, a couple AR-12 drum mags, and a bunch of 15/17 rnd mags for a cz75 and my M9. Might grab some sigs too.
Maybe camping out near Cottonwood Canyon this weekend, any good BLM spots around there to do some 22 plinking?
Can you do a walk in at the sheriffs office for fingerprinting in order to get your CHL? Unfortunately my work schedule doesn’t really allow me to plan stuff and last I looked appointments were a month out
I was looking for online courses to get my chl and came across oregonchl.org does anyone know if it's legit? I was hoping to find out if anyone has used them before I plop down $60.
Thanks
Hey all,
Just moved to Wilsonville for work. I prefer outdoor shooting ranges (indoor feels cramped for rifle shooting).
I have seen recommendations for English Pit, BLM Land, and English Ridge Shooting Club. I do have a 4x4 and would be willing to drive some. The intention is to get some dedicated time to train with my setup.
Edit: Thank you all for the great recommendations! I really appreciate the help.
Sorry for the brand new account, I have people I know irl who know my real username.
Anyway, I'm interested in getting a gun for protection and I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to. What exactly do they look for when running the background check? All I've been able to find is that they look at your criminal record, but what disqualifies you?
For context, I'm currently a year into 18 months of bench probation for a misdemeanor contempt of court charge. I'm aware I'm not allowed to own a gun right now, but when I finish my bench probation, will a background check clear?
Thanks for the help!
** In 2010 I plead guilty to a misdemeanor battery in Marion county, Indiana. It was dropped down from misdemeanor domestic battery. Besides unpaid Trimet tickets, this is the only infraction I have on my record.
I received my CHL in late 2021. I made a gun purchase in April 2022 from NW Armory. It was delayed. They wouldn’t release it after the 3 day waiting period. I had them cancel the sell. I figured a national store would follow federal guidelines so I purchased from Sportsman’s Warehouse. That purchase was delayed also. I was told to email OSP and inform them that I was a CHL holder. Eventually my sale was canceled and I was refunded for the purchase. I never heard anything back about my background check. EVER. I’ll be ready to purchase another handgun in the upcoming days. What should I do this time around to make sure my purchase is successful? Appeal? Challenge? Transfer through a relative?
So I just went and filled out the background check for a rifle and was told there's a 10 day waiting period for people under 21 and I was wondering is that a state law thing or just a store policy? Because I can't find anywhere that says it's a law. For reference the store is sportsman's warehouse.
Hi, I will be moving to Portland or close surrounding areas in the next 2 months and need some info on gun laws regarding the transport, import and ownership of firearms/ firearms accessories in Oregon. I own several handguns and rifles and want to know what’s legal and illegal to own. High capacity magazines , “Assault” rifles , stripped lower receivers etc , threaded barrels etc. also is there any reciprocity for a Nevada CCW and if not what are the laws on carrying within PDX metro. TIA
