Re: DNR to Lift Temporary Shooting Ban Today

If they have lifted the ban, but the sign is still up(wherever that may be), which takes precedent, the sign or the statement?

Can one legally shoot in an area that they just have not gotten around to removing the sign from?

Last month they had a couple of fires at the range on the loop RD. Two weeks ago I let a guy there shooting Tannerite know that it is illegal, gave me the F/O look
And I would have documented him doing it, the vehicle info and turned him in!!!

We can't let stupidity ruin it for the rest of us.

is it safe to fire dented ammo from an AR?

I was using an Uplula loader and noticed it dented the brass casing, some quite significantly.

Is it safe to fire in an AR?

It seems there are people who have done it, but don't recommend doing it. Casing is not cracked, just dented.

Re: Will it come to this in Washington State

It’s hilarious to me, that they wouldn’t even consider sending any troops to protect our southern border from the enormous influx of criminal illegal aliens- but they seem to have no problem deploying the national guard on law abiding (for the moment) tax paying citizens... Sad state of the Union. ...

When I retired from the Army in 2010 I moved back to the Spokane Valley. I now live in CDA. My job is here but I don’t spend any time in Spokane or Washington that I don’t have to.
That's the right thing to do in my mind.

I am planning a permanent move there once retired, or sooner.

Re: brought home a Mauser from my grandfather's collection

What !!!! A Simple chamber cast could have told you what you have. Normally the 98s were 8MM mauser unless it had been reamed out. Save the barrel and I will cast the chamber for you.

Re: brought home a Mauser from my grandfather's collection

Brief update; They had the firearm for quite awhile, I did not ask for it to be priority and they set it aside when they got busy. Dec 10 we decided that a new barrel was needed as they could not determine the caliber!! They said it had them completely stumped. Now just waiting for that process to h...

Re: Shooting range past Suncrest

There is one on Swenson Rd, just past Jergens Rd. This is going north on Swenson from Rosauers.
It was still open as of last fall. Have to have a Discovery Pass and park on Swenson and walk in quite a ways, though.
