I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'm looking for up-to-date advice with the weather and wildfire risks.

We'll be camping at Brown's this weekend to go off-roading, and I am curious where the nearest places are to legally shoot? The website indicates that discharge of firearms is prohibited. How far does that extend?

Also, I saw today that central OR is stage 2 for all open fires. I couldn't find anything for Brown's or the Forest Grove/Tillamook forest areas.

I go camping quite frequently, but not in this area and would rather FO before I FA. Any advice is appreciated!

I get that un-serialized 3DP guns are naughty to build and own in Oregon these days, I'm trying to understand some things before my work-related move to the Portland area in a couple of months. Most of what I have is fine, but I'm wondering if HB2005 also applies to 3DP suppressors and serialized 3DP SBR's with Form 1 tax stamps. Does anyone know??

I'm just trying to figure out what I can bring and what I'll have to store out of state for the two years I'll be there. Thankful that they're not sending me to Commiefornia so I can bring my standard capacity mags and the ammo I already own, LOL.

Thansk in advance!

For those of you who used to be a member of Johnson Creek Gun Club, where did you go next?

I'm in the Portland area and moving in a couple weeks, I'd like to try to consign a pistol rather than just surrender it to the cops. Any recommendations?

Had a very nice customer come drop me off his P365 X macro and his wife’s P322 rose for a deep cleaning, said they both had ~400-500 rounds through them. He also wanted both optics installed correctly, and a clean 10y zero for both guns. I told him no problem at all…

His P365 X Macro came out amazing. Better than new for sure.

His wife’s P322 rose on the other hand… had such an unbelievable amount of lead that come out of the barrel I am still in shock that she wasn’t running into squib loads. Her target was scattered in keyholes.

Absolute nightmare to remove this much lead fouling from the barrel. 🤯

The title sums it up. They used to be my go-to, and now I just kind of think they're intolerable.

This is such a dumb question but I’ll ask anyway. ’m looking for something particular-ish. Is there a way to filter on gunbroker or another site to only show local listings? I’d just like a complete, holistic, up to date list of every gun for sale in the Portland metro area. Is that too much to ask? 😭

I got a form 1 approved and need to provide a copy to the Clack Co Sheriff, has anyone done this? I've seen other places where folks were able to email it. I found an email for the records department but not the sheriff, will that work or should I mail a physical copy? Thx

Saw these a few weeks ago and I forgot to snap a pic. Went today and they’re still there.

Hey all, looking to get a gun engraved as a memorial. Does anyone know of any decent engravers that can work on firearms?

Looking for a shop recommendation. Seeking to buy a kimber 1911 Don't wanna pay over a thousand. Thanks

Another one headed home today.

Customer wanted an optic on his Kimber Micro 9, so we got it cut, mounted, and back together. The slide on this is pretty tight, so it was a challenge to make sure there was sufficient space for the dot to sit and have good thread engagement.

It's always fun when something other than a Glock comes across the bench.

If you've got a pistol you've been thinking about putting a dot on, send us a picture and we'll let you know what's possible.

Any good free shooting spots near Damascus that won't be affected by wildfire risk bans? Looking to go next week sometime, won't trash anything or do anything stupid

As the title says. Just checking before I make the drive out there.

A recent slide that came through the shop.

This one received an optics cut and FDE cerakote before being reassembled with the optic and suppressor-height sights.

We're a small shop in Vancouver, WA and have been expanding our optics cut and cerakote capabilities. If you've got a pistol you're looking at having milled, refinished, or both, feel free to reach out.

Happy to answer questions about turnaround times, optic footprints, coatings, or the process in general.

Not trying to turn this into a sales pitch—just sharing some recent work and putting it out there for anyone looking for local options.

Hello everyone, new in Portland, where is the best place to get a used 11.5 upper, especially if there's a Geissele 11.5 urgi ?

I was oiling my new rifle, and I got some oil in the chamber and barrel. I read that this is not good. I have wiped most of it out, and I believe there is only a thin coat left. If I need to, what should I use to clean it out? I have dish soap, isopropyl (70%), and fels-naptha. I’ll dig around in the drawers to see if there’s any degreasers.
