Washington Banned Assault Weapon Parts

Post by bladebum » Tue May 16, 2023 11:58 am

We've been asked to address "parts" that would be banned as a result of SHB1240, now law in Washington State.
This applies to some Semiautomatic rifles, Semiautomatic pistols, Semiautomatic shotguns that would now be classified as "Assault Weapons" (See below).

Here's how we read it:
Basically, any part that is firearm specific, that will only fit banned firearms, are not allowed to be bought, sold, traded (transferred) to or from a Washington resident and are not allowed to be posted on this site by a Washington resident.
Idaho residents must have a disclaimer attached to their ad to post on the board. ("Idaho resident to Idaho resident sale only. No sales to a Washington resident").

If a part / accessory is also designed to fit non semiautomatic, non assault weapon firearms, that should be ok to post.
Examples: (not complete)
10 round (or less) mags.
Optics.
Ammo.
Etc.

Examples of parts not allowed: (not complete)
A/R uppers.
A/R lowers.
Forward grips that will only fit banned firearms.
Stocks that will only fit banned firearms.
Etc.
(See more of the list in the law verbiage below.)

Here's the verbiage:
https://rb.gy/x9h6j
1 (iii) A conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which an assault weapon can be assembled or from which a firearm can be converted into an "assault weapon"
if those parts are in the possession or under the control of the same person; or

(iv) A semiautomatic, center fire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:
(A) A grip that is independent or detached from the stock that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
(The addition of a fin attaching the grip to the stock does not exempt the grip if it otherwise resembles the grip found on a pistol);
(B) Thumbhole stock;
(C) Folding or telescoping stock;
(D) Forward pistol, vertical, angled, or other grip designed for use by the nonfiring hand to improve control;
(E) Flash suppressor, flash guard, flash eliminator, flash hider, sound suppressor, silencer, or any item designed to reduce the visual or audio signature of the firearm;
(F) Muzzle brake, recoil compensator, or any item designed to be affixed to the barrel to reduce recoil or muzzle rise;
(G) Threaded barrel designed to attach a flash suppressor, sound suppressor, muzzle break, or similar item;

(vii) A semiautomatic shotgun that has any of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock;
