NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sounds good, you still have my number?

 

She has friends coming down from up north..otherwise I’d have gotten a tag and grabbed one somewhere up in the hills. We do need to get together and head up sometime. I was happy with how the Coopers performed.

 

Yup!

 

We do need to for sure. I need more run time in the snow to know for sure, but I think they did pretty good

 

Right on

 

Oh for sure, but for that trip they weren’t bad, and I was at my street psi still.

 

I’m finally able to do useful things with a TIG welder besides develop new swear words, shock myself and ruin aluminum

Stop/starts is something i really need to focus on.

 

Go Hawks! Hey guys im finally coming back home to the NW! Driving the truck from DC to JBLM in late Jan-early Feb. Looking forward to getting back and exploring the NW again. Any good threads for the JBLM crowd? Also any good shops down that way or anywhere maybe north as my parents are in Lake Stevens/Marysville area? Might need some work done once i get there if i cant get it done before the trip. Coming ffom the NOVA thread the last few years and looking forward to joining some of you on some trips.

 

Welcome back! Nothing strictly for Fart Lewis/McChord. We all migrate between threads in the PNW section. You can find what you need at Mule Expeditions in Issaquah. (Their site is being rebuilt right now)

Cheers!

 

Thanks man i appreciate it and yeah i will be back and forth from JBLM and up north so i will browse all the threads and see whats going on. Thanks for the heads up on mule I will hit them up when I get into town and get settled.

 

Sounds good man.

 

Anybody here ever used the USPS to mail a rifle to themselves in a different state in care of someone else.

 

You should just use a FFL and send it. Pretty sure you cant just mail guns via USPS?

 

I've always found UPS to ask less questions when shipping guns. I haven't sent any to myself via them though, only back to manufacturer so my input is probably about useless.

 

Non-FFLs can send long guns only (rifles and shotguns) via USPS, but not handguns or anything else.

The ATF says specifically what NukedTaco wants to do is legally allowed. In practice though most shippers balk at it.

 

How do they know what’s inside?

 

ATF regulations stipulate that you must declare firearms to the shipper when being shipped.

You totally can as long as you mail it and you pick it up.

 

Thats what I wanted to know. I wasn’t sure if the person I mailed it in care of would be allowed to pick it up or If I had to be the one to pick up the package.

 

@scollins I sent you a PM with some firearm questions since I think your our resident FFL
