Thanks for the information everyone. I knew about the sales tax stuff but didn't know about firearms purchasing. Anyone know if that Mega-Walmart off 205 in Vancouver has good stuff?

There is a huge Walmart located just across the river from me in Vancouver, WA. I'm a legal resident of Oregon and am interested in purchasing a 10/22 and a Remington 870 shotgun. Are there any laws that restrict me from purchasing a rifle and shotgun in Washington? Thanks for the help.

Thanks!! Thanks for all the excellent recommendations! I guess I've still got a ton to learn because some of the terminology used confuses me. :confused: I'm not opposed to cleaning--just want to make sure the white box ammo won't add unecessary wear and tear to the gun. What parts are...

Excuse me if I ramble but after my first trip to the range (an all day safety/training class) in over 15 years I feel like a kid again!! I used everything from a Glock 17 to a Sig P239 to a 1911 and found that I liked the Glock 17 the best. I've decided to purchase a Glock 17 and a Glock 36...

Thanks again Dave!

Thanks for the advice Dave! After some additional reading, it seems the Remington 870 is a highly recommended shotgun on this board! Which model would you recommend or are they all winners? I'm looking at the express, the wingmaster or the marine magnum (it rains all the time here in...

Thanks!! I'm new around this board--just getting back into guns that I loved shooting from my youth. Went to the range this past weekend for the first time in years and LOVED every minute of it!! I didn't want to go home! :D I've made myself a shopping list and have figured out what I'm...

Total newbie question here but can anyone recommend a site or give me a link to a website/white paper explaining basic ballistics? I understand that there are different calibers etc., but not much more than that (ie grain??, how does a 9mm compare to a .40S&W or .45ACP?, recoil effects of...

A sign of all that is wrong with our legal system---especially if he wins.

I don't want anyone to think I'm making a negative statement here---just saying I'm surprised that the market is either a) that competitive or b) price controlled or c) I'm just new and don't know what the heck I'm talking about. :D

For example, new Glock 36. 3 local vendors: 1 @ 519.00 1 @ 529.00 1 @ 530.00 There are lots of NIB Glock 36's on gunbroker and all of them are around the 525.00 to 550.00 range.

I'm relatively new to handgun purchasing but something I've noticed in my research is that pricing for new handguns (at least the brands I'm looking at) all seem to fall within a 3-5% range regardless of where you look. I've called around to local shops, browsed the web (gunbroker etc.) and...

Count me among those that will be paying the government a hefty amount this year. The joys of having a wife who's self employed......sigh.

Speaking of H&K stuff, does anyone know if the H&K P2000 is available? My interests lie in both shooting and collecting and the P2000 looks like a good investment.

OMG....so many guns so little time! Just got back from a day of driving all over the place and looking at guns. My heads swimming. HK, Glock, Sig, they're all so beautiful--guess I'll have to buy one of each! :D The folks out at The Gun Broker were unbelievably helpful. The guy at NW...

Thanks for the quick feedback guys. I might be showing my complete newness by this question but what is a Class III arm? I'm assuming it's any arm that's automatic? :confused:

Another question for the Oregon shooters: What are the laws concerning gun ownership in Oregon? Is there a waiting period?? Ban on certain types of guns? Thanks MMcCall for the reference--I think I'll go pay them a visit today and Keith's/NWArmory on Saturday.

SKN: Thanks!! That place looks really amazing. I'm definately signing up and taking a couple of classes even though it'll be quite a drive to get there.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice, links, etc. it's much appreciated. voilsb: I'm located in Portland, westside. Thanks for the link--I've posted over there with questions about dealers and ranges. DM: what's your favorite cigar?? FM: obrigado!! :D I've currently got my...

Hi guys. I'm new here and was referred to this thread by a fellow Oregonian THR member. I live in Portland (westside) and as I said in my other thread I'm getting back into target shooting etc. What dealers (hopefully in the Portland area) would you recommend that I visit to be able to...
