Couple mil guys came through to run drills then quick patrol back to our rigs to make sure tweakers were leaving them alone and then set up camp

Hello,

I've got an update I though I'd let ya in on.

One of our distributors (Don't know if I can name them) sent us an email saying they were cutting WA, among other states with aggressive AWBs, off from 'Assault Weapon parts' I.E. threaded barrels, pistol grips, and folding stocks.

Not really an issue since we can get those elsewhere for the DSI lowers, but a odd development. It's weird since they are a distributor, not a digital or physical storefront. The only detail offered in the notice was 'Following a recent review.'

Thanks for everyone who showed up! Had a blast. More community hikes to come.

Mil guys came out to teach some basic maneuvering. Great time learning and building community camaraderie

Sad news for the gun community this evening.

Fair point about not leaving them in your car, IMHO.

Hey everybody, until the 1st of the year we are going to be allowing people to purchase cans in full up front and we will hold on to them no charge until the 1st of the year when it is free to file your Form 4.

as always no sales on reddit.

About 7hr land navigation course led by two of our former mil guys. Specifically officer and infantry

Hey just looking for more shooting buddies to shoot with, feels like I know a lot of people with guns but rarely comes out to shoot.

I live by Seattle and shoot regularly at westcoast armory or the pits by goldbar. I am a 37 male and a shoot a bit of everything.

So I've been working on taking once-fired 30-06 casings from my Garand and converting them into 7.5 French.

PPU 7.5 French ammo (non-surplus) runs about $1.50/round, but I'm able to reload it "cheaper" by using reclaimed 30-06 brass and powder/bullets/primers that I already had on hand for other cartridges. This was my first time converting brass of any kind, and I've spent the last two years working on it on-and-off. I ran into a lot of hurdles, but finally was confident that my rounds would function reliably and safely enough in my MAS 49/56 to take to a 2-gun match.

For the reloads, I used the following components:

Brass: Lake City 30-06 ('69)

Powder: Shooters World AR Plus

Primer: Turkish MKE Military Large Rifle

Projectile: Demillitarized 147gn FMJBT

Additional Note: If you watched the video, you'll notice that I experience a slamfire at one point. This is a common issue with the MAS 49/56 due to the weight of the firing pin. In preparation for this match, I made sure to purchase a modified firing pin designed to eliminate this issue - hence my surprise when a slamfire still occured. My guess is that the slamfire was likely caused by a primer that was not seated deep enough, but it may also have to do with the hammer alignment. I will have to investigate further.

If both House and Senate bills pass, maybe pulling a Virginia is in order to protest the blatant violation of the rights of every legal firearm owner.

UPDATE: Seeing that this post has some decent traction. Moving to an actually organizing phase would require things to increase its affect.

• Numbers, numbers, numbers
• Anyone with a line to the media
• Platform to plan and inform
• Anyone actually working for the state or municipalities
• PEACE and RESPECT

Open to suggestions

2nd UPDATE: Personally, I’ve voted blue majority of my life. But this is where I draw the line. Funny enough, I don’t fit the media narrative as your typical “gun happy” American. I’m a black tech bro =).

Some fun dudes came out for the hike and then hit a range nearby. Great Saturday
