I just realized after purchasing a new home I need to update my address so I can continue to purchase firearms and update my C. H. L I did it online and was told It's updated on their side that I wouldn't get a sticker and don't get a new card. Do I need to actually go into the dmv? Do it in person?
I've built a lot of bolt actions for other people, but this is the first one I've (mostly) completed for myself. It started life as a Remington 700 "Long Range" in 300 Win Mag. I recently fitted a Lothar Walther polygonal rifled blank, 22", chambered in 300 PRC, with a modified M24 profile and a Badger Ordnance oversized recoil lug. The receiver and bolt were blueprinted. The stock is an HS Precision PST011, similar to the one used on the M24. On top sits a Bushnell XRS2, and an Omega 300 out front. I threaded the bolt handle for an oversized knob. Oh, and the trigger is a Timney Calvin Elite Custom. Admittedly, I am little underwhelmed by it. There is more creep in it than I'd expect from a $300 trigger.
Target was 5 rounds at 100 yards. 220gr SMK on top of 74gr IMR 4831 using CCI mag primers and new Hornady brass. It measures around .4 MOA. The next 5 shot group (not pictured) was .7 MOA, fed from the magazine, with no cool down between shots. Blah blah blah, statistically insignificant. I'm still happy with it.
Still need to get the barrel engraved and Cerakoted. I'm debating if it's worth bedding this one. I'll likely leave it so I can move the stock around in the future. Extractor needs some tuning. It sometimes hangs up on the cases when chambering. This was a replacement extractor, installed after truing the bolt face. Will also lap the lugs to try and smooth out the action a bit more. Bolt timing looks fine, but something feels like it's hanging up.
Next up is the retromod Mauser some of you guys have seen in the shop. I've been slowly pecking away at it this week. Stay tuned for a build post on it.
If you guys wanted to watch, at least from the North side view, here's a live stream: https://stream.oml.clinic
They announced last minute they're supposed to cut power to the whole area, so we'll be using cell and battery backup when possible.
POST EVENT UPDATE:
Hole. E. Penis.
Last night, literally had an impromptu call with our NY IT team and said - can we just do like a “little” livestream for the office. They said sure - helped throw up a last minute broadcast and warned: hey so it’ll support like *maybe* 75-100 people, just fyi.
……We ended up with over 7,000 viewers at one point…..
👁️ 👄 👁️
Multiple begging texts and emergency calls asking for more streaming power… We yelled: BUT ITS FOR THE CHILDREN! They were unflinched. THIS IS OUR TWIN TOWERS MOMENT! “Too soon” they retorted. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE BABY JESUS??!! And they obliged.
IN MINUTES I became the field engineer learning about the dhscp-lmnop and the qrs tuv. rp streaming codes with hevc and I even got to throw in a: “don’t you flaunt your hardware encoded acceleration at me, STEVEN - I. AM. A. LADY!”
The music was literally a last minute “hey I need you to stream something to make sure the connection works over VPN” and my premix Apple account was all I already had open.
Thank you all for participating, viewing, and sharing the link. So glad we could offer ad-free and non-Sinclair news media services alongside lasering bumholes! We’re already trying to plan for our next stream event! Hahaha
Let’s do this *every* five minutes.
Great day today, little cloudy, but definitely helped with the heat. Sweet view and drive. Cleaned up what I could while I was there. Lets keep it clean peeps
Inherited lot of .308 (1.2k rds) and .22 (~6.5k rds). All clean. Wanting to sell, ideally not to a pawn shop. Just opened a NWFirearms acct, any other decent places to list them?
Ive got a few guns i want some engraving work done, namely; an image engraved into a shotgun behind the ejection port. An image engraved into the magwell of an AR, and front slide serrations and factory engravings removed from a beretta M9. I know BYE tends to be the most recommended place for NFA engraving but in hoping there's a place that can refinish the firearms as well, which BYE doesnt do.
If the nfa goes away what happens to us? I know nothing happens immediately but are we better off or are we in for some headaches
I understand that unregistered NFA items will be a legal grey area, but because the court's decision (currently) only applies to the plaintiffs in this case, I assume that a registry for everyone else will still exist. This seems to imply that as long as this remains the case we will be able to continue buying suppressors as part of the status quo?
$159 plus tax, normal price online about $210. It’s got wheels so you can pull it like a suitcase. Go straight in through the TVs and around the corner to the right. Note the foam is solid and not pick n pull but still a solid deal.
If suppressors and SBRs get dropped from the NFA then according to ORS 166.272 they’ll all be considered illegal. We need to be getting ahead of this before it’s in motion so no one has to have a boating accident.
Birth of a post sample uzi, and our second attempt at color case hardening (collab effort with Ray Taber and Jaidyn Camp). Still dialing in the process for the color case hardening. Probably won't be offering this as a service, but it's fun learning. I'll do a write-up eventually with our latest process.

Option #2. Oregon Concealed Handgun License (CHL) for $70
This option is for those who simply wish to become educated and become legal to conceal in the state of Oregon while limiting a lot of “legal grey area” that the state of Oregon has put into place making it easy to get in trouble with your gun. Does not provide coverage in Washington
