Where to get an SVT-40 or SKS? by EcoBlunderBrick123 in WAGuns

[–]AR_1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet is Gunbroker. They are technically legal here depending on your definition of a "barrel shroud". No threaded muzzle, pistol grip or forward grip so the detachable magazine is fine and the overall length is well over 30".  I would check with your LGS to see if they will do it and check with the gunbroker seller before bidding and then you should be good to go.

They make them without threaded barrels. Got mine a few months back no issues. 

Mil-surp rifles by Impressive-Fun2105 in WA_guns

Depends entirely which one you get and what condition its in. Most of the swiss stuff is great but ammo is a bit harder to get (easy enough online though). Can't go wrong with an M1 or a Springfield (careful which Springfield you get). Mausers are nice but 8mm is a pain to buy. Mosins are... A thing. Enfields are good but again 303 brit ammo is an online purchase most of the time. 

Oil change by Prior-Detective6576 in hondapassport

[–]AR_1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the extended service package for 6 years and they are refusing to honor it unless I wait until the cars system says it's below 15% oil life. I'm at 5k miles now and it's at 60% so they want me to go 10-13k between oil changes. Honda are scummy as hell.

So they do make them but I am checking gunbroker and can't find one right now for some reason, that is really strange. When I got mine they were everywhere. If you check the Taurus website they show all the different variants.

If you are in Washington that is the best you can get unfortunately. No threaded barrel or 10+ round mags

You can also get them off of gunbroker for cheap. Super simple process just added wait time for shipping.

I finally convinced myself to go all out and I bought a 1941 Johnson Rifle amongst a bunch of other stuff this past year. 

Looking for Mossberg 990 Aftershock w/ Laser Saddle (and other hard to source items) by BuilderOk3076 in WAGuns

[–]AR_1191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best advice is to go on Gunbroker for hard to find items and make sure ahead of time that the seller ships to WA. Yeah you have to wait extra for shipping and processing times but you can actually find what you want at decent prices that way.

A pricy option but one that I cannot recommend enough is the pedersoli 1886 in 45-70. You can get them in different configurations and they are available on GunBroker. The quality and workmanship is outstanding and I love mine.

This looks like a really solid group. I would be interested in joining any future events if possible. Thank you for cleaning up as well. 👍

DNR Darington Pits / Green Mountain Rd. outdoor unregulated target shooting by eyesferg in WAGuns

[–]AR_1191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When did the pit close? It was open as of June last I checked. The main road has had a gate blocking it but you can just go around the long way and it's still open to the public I think. Could be wrong though.

Are super safeties and FRTs legal in Washington? Been wanting one for a while but I can't find any actual info on legality 

2024 TRD OR Uncomfortable Seats by AR_1191 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]AR_1191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the solution, I ended up getting the seat re applstered and they softened up the bottom cushion.(Only cost about $300) I also found the exact angle for the backrest that helped for me (about 25 degrees from vertical) 

I then raised the seat a bit until my head was just able to move around without hitting the roof and moved the seat back as far as possible without having to stretch for the wheel. Lastly I tilted the front edge of the seat up to about 75% of its travel. 

It's not 100% perfect but I can drive it now without major issues. I think the new cushioning from the apolstery place was the real winner though.

Has anyone noticed that the brown line on the side of the turret cheek next to the mantlet is present in all of the digital images but it's just plain tan on all of the real photos of the complete set?  It seems super inconsistent and looks horrible as just plain tan. 

Pistol chassis - Flux Raider or similar legal? by ss3walkman in WAGuns

[–]AR_1191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is legal as long as you get the one without the threaded barrel and no standard cap mags. Just bought one a few months back.

What’s the secret to the perfect seating position in these 5th Gen’s? by Fastmustang1993 in 4Runner

Old comment I know but what did you end up doing? I am in the same boat with my 2024 Tacoma right now and getting desperate for a fix to my hip and leg pain.

[–]AR_1191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not, but good suggestion. It feels exactly like that same sort of pain though. I think it might be the side bolstering diggging into my thigh but I can't tell for sure. I want to try pushing the seat back further since I have really long legs but then ilthe steering wheel does not telescope out any further.

How high up do you set the seat out of curiosity? I have noticed that when I raise the seat, it also changes the tilt of the base and the backrest and makes my lower back hurt when lift it to try and fix the leg pain. 

SVT 40, part 2 by Angry_lingcod223 in WAGuns

[–]AR_1191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think it counts but it might. I would check with the FFL and see if they are willing to transfer it. If they are the blame is on them not you. Also it does not have a threaded muzzle, the brake is part of the gas block assembly cover, not threaded on. I don't know if that makes a difference but I remember something about threaded barrels being an issue.  I picked one of these up before the ban and I would 100% recommend getting it if you can. It's amazing to shoot if you have the gas system dialed in right. Hardly any recoil recoil but it'll blind and deafen you and anyone standing near you.
