Hello all... I moved to Portland from Miami FL , May 17 , 2018 and live west s of the river north of the 217 / 26 interchange.

I am an NRA Endowment member, was an NRA certified handgun instructor for six years, and was a Florida hunter and outdoor guy for 31 years. I collect Makarov caliber handguns and I have been an active member in the Guns and Ammo forum for over 10 years. I like to reload both rifle and pistol and cast bullets as well. It's my hobby ... :)

Now that I have moved to Portland to support my wife's family, I need to make some contacts, learn how to hunt in Oregon, and pursue my gun hobby. I enjoy tweaking factory guns and loads to sub MOA performance and I currently have a variety to play with, from bolt guns to AR's, etc.

Attended my first Wes Knodel gun show yesterday and got my Oregon driver license three weeks ago. I need to get an Oregon carry permit and find a place to attend a class. I am also considering renewing my NRA certification and teaching here, but I do not know the State requirements to certify students.

My professional background, I have been in Information Technology for over 35 years and recently sold my business last March. I am still looking for a job in Portland. Looking forward to participating.

And finally, how can I buy 5 or 6 AR lowers in Oregon without getting killed on transfer fees? Primary Arms has $30 Anderson lowers today limit three.

Best to all!

Welcome to NWFA.

Some places will offer discounts on multiple transfers, but the only way to know for sure is to call around (until somebody here offers a real answer). I use Money Market Pawn in SE Portland for transfers, but it's been awhile since I've done multiples and I don't remember Peter's policy.

Up until just a few yrs ago my summer EDC was an E German Makarov... a beautiful piece that I let get away. I don't think I'd spend that kind of money on a 9x18 again, but if I see a nice deal on a Bulgarian model, I'm all in.

Welcome
 
Welcome to the forum Dan! You'll fit in quite nicely around these parts. I am about to celebrate my 3rd year as an OR resident, being a transplant from MD. I lived in FL, in the Apopka area for a number of years, as a young man and had spent many of summers there visiting my dad, grandparents and great-grand mother. We also have cousins in Coconut Grove. Shoot me a PM if you ever want to check out Douglas Ridge Rifle Club.

As far as a carry class, I can highly recommend taking a class from James at 540 Tactical. It was very informing and the guy knows his stuff. Good luck.
