Washington Semi auto transfer new state resident

[Jcremer24]

Hey everyone,
I am wanting to buy a semi-auto rifle. I am a new state resident and still have not gotten a new id for WA. I did sing a lease and am living here permanently. Would I be able to accept the transfer? Assuming I do the i-1639 class as well?

Are you Military on orders?

 

[Jcremer24]

No I moved up here for a civilian job

Gun store said as long as I provide a proof of residency Im good. Not sure if me signing a lease qualifies

As for the kind of ID (as proof). Ask the FFL what they will accept.

Did I read correctly that there is a special tax or fee for SA rifle?

Smart people here don't buy rifles, they buy stripped receivers and build their own. Complete bypass of both the 1639 and "backdoor handgun registry" BS.

Suck on THAT, Jay and Sideshow Bob!

Yup.

BUT.....don't you just feel the ENHANCED SAFETY of it all?

Aloha, Mark

The store or Dealer you talked to is the one to ask this. There is "the law" and then there is what the person who holds the FFL is comfortable with. Many dealers do things differently. So don't order a gun to a shop before you make sure they are going to let you buy it. What one dealer tells you may not work at another. Many are scared to death to make a mistake and have someone come after them.

Well, humour me, what is the fee?

this, don't assume they know everything, just because they work at the gun store.

first, I would get an ID that matches current address before you do anything.

What if the semi auto this person wants to buy is not of the separate receiver build your own style.

 

[GWS]

OP, if you want an AR style rifle, just buy the receiver and parts kit, build it yourself then get the upper receiver of your dreams. Buying the stripped receiver circumvents a lot of the bothersome restrictions placed on buying a handgun or semi-automatic rifles. If you don't want an AR, then be prepared to jump through some hoops.
