BudsGunShop.com - WA compliant?

Hello, I wondered if this rifle, or a close model type, would be Washington state compliant? I have heard that rimfire rifles may or may not fall under our recently updated state laws, but get different answers depending on who I ask.

Hi Nathan, yes sir, this is WA legal. Read section .iv - "A semiautomatic, center fire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following:" etc, etc, --- Note it says center fire rifle, it does not say rim fire.

James' quote below was taken out of context, you need to read the whole thing. It further states "To purchase semi-automatic rifles as defined above, a person must be a resident of the state and minimum 21 years of age." So, a rimfire rifle can be defined as an assault weapon, but if you are 21 or older, you can purchase it.

If you are still unsure, you can always check with a local FFL.

Stay safe & have a great day!
