NW Pew Pew and BS

Someone in this tread might appreciate this. Got to transport some firearms and equipment from a trade show in Indianapolis to New Hampshire this summer. Good thing I’ve got that security clearance. I couldn’t take pictures inside, but it was BEAUTIFUL!

 

I haven't shot off of a bench in years. Being a guest at a private range was a much better experience vs the public ranges. Verified my zero on the Tikka T3X and sighted in the .300 blk pistol.

 

Wow what range is that?

 

Marysville rifle club. Private range with public day on Thursdays.

 

I keep thinking about joining a private range to get away from the unwashed masses

 

FTFY

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on where i could get a barrel cut down?

 

That too

You usually need a lathe right? Almost any machinist could. Check out CAR firearms in Kent.

 

Ed La Pour but it’s a bit of a haul to Bremerton for you. Solid reputation though if you look him up.
Before I knew about him I’ve shipped a barrel to ADCO which went without a hitch also

 

They need to crown it correctly too, so i would recommend a gunsmith and not your baby mamma cousin with the lathe.

 

Question for the WA folks: Once a firearm has it's paperwork (Pistol or SBR) can I use additional shorter length uppers with it? Have a 10.3" 300 blk out, but would like to get a 12"-14" 5.56 upper to use with it as well. It's just the lower receiver that requires the NFA paperwork, right? Or, can I not screw with the upper length or caliber when it's all said and done?

@scollins ?

 

this is in @scollins wheelhouse

 

I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER. That said, is there a box on your paperwork that you carry for it that lists a specific barrel length? If not, you’re good. Just don’t lug around any extra unregistered lowers.

That would be my approach anyway.

 

My understanding is once its built it is a complete firearm. shouldnt matter if its in WA or TX - its federal with any tax stamped item.

 

This. Now you may change to a non NFA Length if you wish

 

On your form 1, it’ll ask for the length of the barrel and rifle.

 

Here’s the answer then!

 

Gotcha. So once the length is defined on the paperwork, you can't adjust it later on? What about switching calibers? Get the same length upper in 5.56?
