    I met with Representative Jinkins (D) (House Judiciary Chair) to ask that she schedule HB 1561, the SBR bill for a hearing. She was not inclined to do so as she was only going to hear the bkgd check bill and the safe gun storage bill. She preferred that the Senate bill, HB 5956 to pass the...

    Senator Hatfield submitted his SBR bill this week. It's identical to the House bill but needs loads more sponsors. SB 5956 - 2013-14 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/billdocs/2013-14/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5956.pdf We need people to write to and MEET WITH their Senators to convince them...

    Suppressed Savage 110 FCP HS.

    Savage Arms I need an opinion from anyone who has owned or shot a suppressed Savage 110 FCP HS in 338 Lapua. This is their 338 Lapua with the conventional stock and not the 110 BA with the tactical stock. I can get one for about $1400. I held one at the store and it felt nice, better than...

    Suppressors many questions

    Paperwork to sell is the same as long as you and the buyer are in the same state. Just fill it out as usual and send it to the ATF. When it is approved the forms goes back to the seller who turns over the approved copy and silencer to the buyer. If the buyer is in another state then the...

    Suppressors My Thunderbeast -- EXPLODED!!

    I had a form 1 can blow out the guts when the front weld failed. I got scoped (no cut) and the parts flew up to 80 yards downrange. I was able to find them all and reassemble the can with a better weld. Ranb

    Suppressors Suppressor shoot at KRRC saturday. (WA)

    The 3rd annual silencer shoot was a great success. The day started out for me in the morning with the junior small bore shoot, then I finished setting up for the silencer shoot. We had a large 18” plate mounted at 150 yards, two falling plate racks set up at 110 and 200 yards which could be...

    What is the best way to make 338 Whisper Brass?

    I am trying to form 338 whisper from 7.62x39 brass for my Savage bolt gun. The 7.62 brass is about .020" longer than the 7mm BR brass. It shortens when fired though. It takes a hotter supersonic load to properly fireform. Repeated loadings with subsonic charges will not completely...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    Since I normally carry copies of my forms with me when shooting I could have partially resolved the issue if I had them that tday. But the real issue is that I actually did everything right while the RO did everything wrong. I obeyed the letter of the law, he falsely accused me of breaking...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    The RSO insisted that it was federal law he was talking about and not state law. Here is an example of an affirmative defense exception in the WA RCW. RCW 9.41.190: Unlawful firearms ? Exceptions. Here is the silencer law. RCW 9.41.250: Dangerous weapons ? Penalty. I'm not a lawyer so...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    I attended a club meeting yesterday and was allowed to talk about the problem. It was a bizarre experience to say the least. As I was talking, the offending RO interrupted me to claim that 90% of what I was saying was false, that I had refused to show him my ATF form 4 (I have none, they are...

    Suppressors No ATF forms, no shooting?

    For only the second time since 2002 when I made my first silencer, I was asked for proof of registration. This was the first time I was asked in WA State. Last Saturday was one of those rare days when I forgot to bring my ATF form 1 copies with me to the range. I was told I couldn’t shoot unless...

    Suppressors .22 can worth it?

    Rimfire ammo fills cans up with gunk. Unless his 7.62 can comes apart to clean, then shooting 22lr in it is a bad idea. Ranb

    Suppressors How to make a baffle on a lathe

    Knowing how much work that is for each baffle (2 hours each), I feel a lot better about making a silencer than buying one. :) I put about 18 hours of work into my last silencer, it will spend much more time at the range being heated up by the ammo I reload. Making silencers gives me the same...

    Pistol grips, how do they affect lethality?

    I think you missed most of what I wrote in my first post. If you read it again you will see that I think a pistol grip does not make a gun more lethal but I am debating a person in another forum who does think so. My question was; "What say you guys with combat experience?". Since I am not...

    Pistol grips, how do they affect lethality?

    So we should not be discussing attitudes about gun design that appear on other websites here on Sniper’s Hide? Or are you embarrassed that I asked for an opinion from combat experienced persons here? Ranb

    Pistol grips, how do they affect lethality?

    i understand how you feel, but it does have lots of useful info on it. I joined that forum ten years ago after reading too much anti-gun crap on it. If you want to educate people on guns, then preaching to the choir on gun forums is of limited value. I am one of the few sane voices of reason...
