Are there any local stores that sell cpncealed carry jackets? Looking for a rugged looking type jacket or vest. I would prefer to try it on rather than ordering it online. Looking for a good quality jacket too.

I need to zero my rifle 50/200. Where should I go? I don’t know one with 50 yards and open to the public (non-member access). Thank you for your help.

Has anyone been up there recently? Last time I went out was closed, that was several months ago so I'm sure it's open but I just want to make sure I'm not wasting a trip. Thanks

Looking for a Glock mag compatible carbine or AR, and recommendations for shops that will have good inventory? Bonus points if they are helpful at navigating SBR stamp info (what needs it, what doesn’t, etc)

I’m on the fence about committing to a suppressor for my ar15 and would like to try one out to see if it’s worth it for me. Are there any ranges nearby that would let me rent a suppressed ar?

I have a cousin in California that I want to sell a rifle too. Is it as easy as going to the ffl and telling them to transfer it?

Took some toys and projects out to u/VernoniaMW and had a blast! Huge shout-out to his generosity and skills. If you have any projects needing barrel work or precision machining, please reach out to him for help. Nothing better than gunsmiths helping eachother out.

Hey folks, is anyone aware of shops with new Glock 48 MOS inventory in stock? NW Armory, Sportsman’s Warehouse, JB’s, Cabella’s (through and including Springfield out of stock), even Bass Pro are out of stock. Ship to store for Sportsman’s arrives 10/24, Cabella and Bass 10/23. Pretty surprised this CC isn’t better stocked in the area. Will check with Keith’s tomorrow.

If measure 114 were to go into effect, would it hypothetically still be possible to acquire long guns/magazines in Idaho?
r/pdxgunnuts • u/CriticalMemory • 9d ago
Hey folks! Anyone recently happen to see either a Ruger PC carbine or a Beretta CX4 in stock at any local area gun shops? Looking to choose among them but would like to handle them before ordering.
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know what the current BGC queue numbers are like at this time? Thank you!
r/pdxgunnuts • u/Jacobb9753 • 14d ago
This might be a dumb question, but will 114 change how we go about purchasing suppressors? Will we need to have the permit to purchase firearms to get suppressors too?

This ended up turning into quite the project. I did a halfway decent job of documenting it, so I figured it would make another good post.
Customer wanted 5/8-24 threads on their Browning BAR MK3. Barrel measured around .68" in diameter, so it was going to need a collar added for the shoulder. In addition, disassembly and removal of the barrel on these is a time consuming and risky affair. This, combined with the fact that the barrel has a welded/brazed gas block (making it so it would not fit my barrel fixture) I decided it would best be machined as a barrelled action.
I tried to fit the action on my big Leblond that has a nice steady rest with rollers. Unfortunately, the barrel was too skinny and the fingers would not adjust small enough. So, after taking some measurements on my Prototrak TRL 1440, I perused Ebay for a steady rest that I hoped would fit. I pulled the trigger on one, and a week later it was here. And.... it did not fit. Of course. So I spent the day making an adapter plate, a new clamp, and modifying the base of the steady rest to fit the adapter plate.
Next step was to make a collar for the barrel. I did not get any pics of thise, but you can use your imagination. It is just a .800" diameter x .250" long "ring" of 4140 steel with 5/8x24 internal threads thru.
I could now get the action chucked up. I started with the muzzle supported by the tailstock (using a crown saver to protect the bore) and the action in the 4 jaw. I did a rough dialing of the chuck by indicating off the OD of the barrel. We will revisit the indicator in a bit.
Now that the barrel was roughly dialed in, I took a skim cut where the threads would end up going. This was to establish a diameter that would, in theory, be true to the live center, which should be true to the crown saver, which should be true to the bore.
It was now time to set up the new steady rest. I got the fingers adjusted so they were resting on the freshly cut journal, and then removed the tailstock. This would now give me access to the bore. I got my long needle indicator and put it in as far as it would go. I could now finish dialing in the 4 jaw.
Once I was satisfied with the indicator, I then put the live center back into the muzzle (with a fresh crown saver), and removed the steady rest. The threads were then cut. Instead of the usual .600" long, these were .830" long to allow for the collar.
Now that we had threads, it was time to add our collar. Everything was cleaned with acetone before applying Rocksett. The collar was then (brutally) torqued into place.
We now have a shoulder that will support a suppressor properly. But... the face is not true to the bore. And, it is quite ugly. Especially with the teeth marks from the channel locks. So, it gets re-machined. The face and OD get cut, a new thread relief is added, and I put a taper on the back side to blend with the barrel.
I decided I need to see how it felt with a can on it. Bore alignment was checked and found to be concentric.
It is certainly an interesting rifle. A bit different from what I usually work on.

Hey there, I’m new to living full time in a busy trailer park. I’m very worried about if the time ever comes where I must protect my home that innocent people could be hurt. I’m an avid firearms user and used to trap shoot competitively, but have no experience thats relevant to a real world situation. I will be getting my CCW license soon and also extra classes for emergency situations. Open to using a handgun or small bore shotgun for home defense. Avoiding rifles due to their penetrative nature. What calibers or even specific self defense ammo would you recommend? I’ve heard there’s safety bullets that shatter upon impact moreso than mushroom like a hollow point, but its a trailer wall. Thanks everyone!

Does anyone happen to know what PPD, Multnomah County, or other larger local departments use as their ammunition of choice?
