    Seen in Washington State

    We just got back from visiting some Family. Wifey's Uncle & I spent 2 days touring the Gunshops around Puyallup & Cabelas in Lacy, Wa. We also spent a morning at the Paul Bunyan Range shooting where Uncle Ben is a Member.

    One of the shops was selling some Collector pieces that had never been shot. They ranged from $850-1600. Beautiful S&W wheelguns. Wish I'd had my regular camera. Enjoy





    Now this shop also sold bullets in Bulk!
    Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

    I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

    Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

    From what I heard from a fellow co-worker who lives in WA, they passed a state law that they can now own and use suppressors. Aren't we so lucky here in the PRK! Sorry...didn't mean to go off-topic.

          I have some friends up there that are doing their first annual suppressor shoot. WA was weird you could own suppressors but could not use them untill they just legalized it. I miss everything there but the rain.

The armor piercing .50 BMG round is capable is killing an innocent child or puppy through 5 engine blocks and comes with a 10 round clip. Why would anyone need 10 rounds of .50 caliber anti tank sniper ammunition???"

                    My intuition tells me you visited The Marksman on East Canyon Road in Puyallup and perhaps Bullseye in Tacoma. In my experience, The Marksman is the place to go for pre-lock S&W revolvers.

                      I just visited WA (for business) and came back yesterday. I was in Seattle, Tacoma and the southern part of the state (Longview and Vancouver). Saw quite a few gun shops along I-5, but did not get a chance to go inside, Darn!

                      Nice photos!

                        Then go to the eastern half of the state. Not much rain there.

                          The next time you're going down I 5 jump off at Federal Way. I really like this store:

                          Federal Way Discount Guns
                          (253) 927-5229
                          33120 Pacific Hwy S, #2, Federal Way, WA 98003
                          Cross Streets: Between S 332nd St and S 330th St


                          Good selection and very popular. Nice people inside.

                          Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                            WA is awesome for guns...Every other week there is a gun show in the North and middle of the state. There gun shows, make ours look like petting farms...Incredible what they have. You should see some of the other gun shops like WADE's which is still the best gun shop I have ever been to...Everything you would ever dream of is there...Incredible place. If you get to Bothell, Go to DJ's...That place has so many handguns it is ridiculous - Many used and new handguns but the selection is vast. heck I did not even mention the rifle portion...That was my FFL when I was in WA. Kenmore range was awesome as well if you get a chance to go shooting...It was where I was a member.

                            Beautiful state WA...When I came back after fixing our NW region, I regretted leaving to fix our SW region...

                              Actually, the new law allows them to use their noise suppressors.
                              Prior to the new law passing, you could legally own a noise suppressor in WA, but it was illegal to use it in WA.
