I am trying to SBR my MCX and it has been disapproved 3 times. 2nd time was do to a mistake I accidentally made on the RFP. However the 1st and 3rd time was because of “WASHINGTON STATE LAW PROHIBITS NEW PURCHASES OR TRANSFERS OF SBRS ALLOWED AS OF 04/25/2023”. I have owned this well before the AWB. I have form 1 my TP9 during the AWB and it got approved. Is there any why I can appeal this or is there a section I put that this was purchased before the ban. This is really fucking annoying

I'm planning to move to Washington soon since the cost of living is cheaper compared to Canada and the gun laws don't require me to give the feds access to my home at anytime they please. I see some people on this sub mention getting restricted firearms out of state and then waiting out the two year statue of limitations. Is this a common strategy? Any hypothetical experiences or advice?

Just a legal question I know nobody here would ever lie to the authorities

Got everything else sorted, its down to these two guys. Thanks to everyone who has been helpin me along the way.

Ok so yeah so 14 or 30. I dont do any hunting, but this would be my "survival rifle" for when I think I might have multiple problems showing up. I have a 1895 trapper in 45-70 for if one BIG problem shows up.

So which one am I bringing home guys?

this is a awesome AR Mag loader! this post is not intended to get anyone to purchase this product.

So basically this is the situation. Recently moved from MS and I misunderstood grandfathered AR ownership in WA. That’s less the problem here because my current roommate is uncomfortable with me having it on her property. Which fair enough… her (stupid/privileged) idea is for me to surrender it to the local PD here. Yes I know I can easily keep my mouth shut. But I know she won’t and the law would be on her side. I haven’t shot the thing in years in all honesty. I mostly moved up to finish my degree. So I’m okie with not having it for a few more years by sending it to a trusted person I know in TN (we used to drill together in the USMCR). What I’m not okie is the idea of surrendering any weapons to the cops. I went to WGS in Lakewood to see if they’ll ship it to a FFL in TN. Apparently they won’t/can’t from what I can tell. Are there any FFLs in WA that’ll help me ship it or is this a trip to OR/ID situation? Because this would be the least worst out of my legal options currently.

So i saw an article about how the CMP is selling over 100k M14's altered to remove the automatic fire option. i was looking into getting one and then i remembered our lovely firearm restrictions in this state. Now I know that the M14 isn't named outright in the ban and though is similar the Springfield M1A, i feel it wouldn't count since from my understanding, the early M14 was made by an entirely different Springfield Armory. but i would like other's opinion on the matter.

We're looking to transport some firearms from Alaska to family's house an Idaho city close to the Washington border. We can't drive them through Canada. What is the best way to go about this? Ship them? Fly down to Spokane and check them as luggage? There are three long guns and a Glock 20 included. Would that be a problem for bringing them in through the airport and driving them to Idaho? Thanks - my husband is having trouble figuring this out. Update: Many of you are suggesting we fly with them as checked luggage. Some of the firearms don't pass Washington's acceptable firearm laws. Would bringing them into WA count as 'importing' even though we'd be driving them directly into Idaho? Will the airport let us take them? I think this is where my husband is confused. He's done a lot of internet research but it's unclear if this would be considered 'importing.' We certainly don't want to break the law. Thanks!

I have a mostly hypothetical question about RCW 9.41.010.

RCW 9.41.010 states, “…A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;…”

IF someone were able to thread the slide or barrel bushing, and not the barrel, would that be legal?

For example, in the late 40s, the soviets experimented with suppressing the Tokarev TT-33 by installing a threaded barrel bushing, not a threaded barrel, and installing a suppressor onto the bushing. Would this not be illegal in Washington state, since the barrel itself isn’t threaded?

What do you all think?

Can I just throw a normal stock on my stuff now?

Hey everybody, exciting day for the NFA, unfortunately WA has been left behind.

WA state requires that all suppressors (and silencer shop tells me AOW's as well) be registered in compliance with federal law, seeing as the NFA still stands and there is only an injunction on specific parts for specific people, we must still register silencers.

as for SBR's (and SBS's in states they're legal) there is a requirement for the federal Attorney General to "approve" of them, currently the only pathway that exists for this is the ATF form 1 and 4. silencershop tells us that they are currently working on another pathway and ultimately this could allow us Washingtonians to buy SBR's with the same amount of paperwork as a Title I firearm (shotgun, rifle, etc.)

So while today is a great day and we are very excited for the 27 states where you can now purchase a silencer with just a simple NICS check, unfortunately we are not one of them, so for now we get the status quo

Looks like WA is one of a number of states that is not covered by the recent ruling per Silencer Shop's interpretation. So, you'll still need to go through the ATF process if purchasing from them, GOA membership or not. Relevant link here, which shows their state-by-state interpretation of the ruling, and in which they classify WA as an "NFA State."

Edit: Guys, I'm just reporting what appeared on SS today in light of recent discussions on this subreddit regarding whether or not we would be able to benefit from the recent ruling (that is, avoid the ATF process). Wild that folks are calling this post "misinformation" and messaging me that I don't understand the ruling. This isn't my understanding - it's Silencer Shop's.
