A friend wants me to do some work on some AR15 parts (not the receiver).  Would it be legal for him to mail or ship the parts to me, I do the work on the parts and mail them back to him?

Crap, I just looked and I can't even work on parts for him.  I'm not willing to risk getting busted over working to mount a free float tube for him and then sending it back.  Jeez, I have to keep up more on the draconian rules in this state.  It really sucks, I didn't know they had become this restrictive as I haven't bought anything new for quite some time.

It’s my understanding that “pre ban” rifles can be repaired, just can’t build a new rifle.

who would know, you planning on telling on yourself?

It is a pre ban upper, and obviously neither of us would be planning on bringing the man into our lives.  I'm generally very distrustful of government and don't want to "poke the bear" un necessarily.  I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to risk having some overly eager person seize his upper and end up having to fight to try and get it back from UPS the post office or whoever he selected to ship it to me.

That is always a good idea.

Sadly, I don’t blame anybody for being overly cautious in this state since they would love to make an example of somebody.  Personally, I do not want to spend all my life savings to defend myself from the legal attacks from the state… Then to be force to sell everything, just to survive afterwards.

Especially, of you live on the wet side of this state since the politics here are clearly against gun rights.

Yet some retailers have no issue sending parts here.

Op. Loosen your tinfoil a bit. It’s cutting off the circulation to your brain.

You can find all the pistol parts you want at palmetto state armory. They are great about making sure you only get things that you should be able to get here in WA.

I can't tell if it's sarcasm or not?

PSA can never seem to make up their mind about what they'll sell.

Primary Arms at least just asks you to click some box saying that you aren't breaking any rules and it's your fault if you did. Then they ship the parts.

I just send shit to my in laws in Montana.

PSA would not sell me a sling. Literally a piece of camo webbing with some tri-glides. 🙄

1. Just put it in a box and mail it. It's not a firearm under any law.
2. It's not a firearm. You're not making an assault weapon. It's not a firearm.

Sort of like concealed is concealed....don't ask, don't tell either.   I really dislike the way this state is handling firearms issues.  Hopefully the Supreme Court will clarify things for the Bureaucrats in Olympia.

Let us hope. I could see Turd Ferguson making up more B.S. initiatives and bans if the SCOTUS case is not rock solid/common sense/lawyer proof.
Semper Fi!

It is a shame the Democrats did not hate Russia during the cold war.

Yeah, I’m hoping that the USSC makes it beyond clear that AR15s and other semi auto rifles are protected firearms since AND without ANY question, Ferg the Turd is definitely going to try to pull some BS thinking his little bitch ass is a higher authority than the USSC.

As for businesses that are always crying how much they stand with the 2A community, but refused to send AR parts to this state, which is completely legal, they can kiss my ass if and when this ban is overturned.  To these businesses, they will never get another dollar from me. At this stage of my life, I tend to stand more on principle and will spend more on something to avoid dealing with somebody who is basically a cunt.

As for AR parts locally, I do not want to say what businesses are openly selling AR parts since I’m sure Ferg’s little punk ass has some of his people reading this site looking for shit to F’ people over with.  But more and more places are LEGALLY selling AR parts.  

Hell, I remember when local businesses were afraid to sell Ruger Mini-14s within the first year of the ban of this state, but now, Mini-14s are everywhere, along with a traditional stock, non threaded barrel, Ruger 9mm semi-auto carbine… I know that that the M1 .30 cal carbines are also legal in the state, but I haven’t seen one for sale since the ban… Yes, an M1 carbine isn’t the most modern firearm and the .30 carbine caliber isn’t very popular, but when living in this state, and the only three-four legal semi-autos  you can have, IMHO, I figured I’d be seeing more around like the new production version from Auto Ordnance.
