You need to explain to them that shipping rifles with 10+ magazines to FFLs are okay.. the FFL just can't give you the magazines.
FFLs are exempt. A couple of distributors required dealers to sign affidavits to state they will not sell 10+ magazines in WA.  Still upset by the whole anti 2A thing. |

It's always possible that since this ban is so new that dealers are just being extra cautious about it. It would be good to send them a link to the bill and point out the section that FFLs are exempt.
Another thing to do is check to see if your FFL might be willing to modify the magazine to be 10rds only, for a small fee. This way you don't lose a perfectly good magazine. |

I haven't had any distributors hassle me yet about included mags for customer orders. For the people who waited till the last minute to order something that won't arrive in time I've been giving them mags from my inventory upon purchase to match what comes with their gun(s) and letting them know I will keep the mag(s) that come with the rifle when it arrives.

This is my next worry. I ordered tons of mags for guns I don't own yet, BAR for example
 I hope this shit gets struck down, but if not I better be able to get a gun shipped without a mag but I can foresee issues with sellers on gunbroker. |

WA state dealers can still get new guns with 11+ rd mags from distributors. Problem is not all guns are available to them due to product allocation at the distributor for high demand items (Sig P322 and P320 XTEN 10mm are good current examples). Online sellers that drop ship from a distributor may still allow you to order, since distributors will ship to WA. Problem is that the seller and the transfer FFL will have to deal with the magazine issue.
My hope is that we get a preliminary injunction that prevents WA from enforcing the mag cap law, due to the case in CA about the same issue. |

Dealers can still get the high cap magazine that comes with the firearm.. but they could modify the magazine to make it comply to the law.

FFLs are not exempt unless they are selling to LEOs.
They also forgot to actually make LEOs exempt. The language in the bill doesn't work according to what I've heard. Did anyone ask Fedex or UPS how they feel about importing contraband? Because they also fucked that up with the "import" language including all cross border transport. "Import" means to move, transport, or receive an item from a place outside the territorial limits of the state of Washington to a place inside the territorial limits of the state of Washington. |

Quoted: Something I've noticed is that online gun stores are now putting in their listings for firearms with mags of 10+ rounds, "No sale to Washington". Wtf, I don't need the mag, I bought a metric fuckton for every possible gun platform imaginable, but now places won't sell me the friggen gun because of a mag in the box. Fuck that mag, I've got a multi-life time supply of em' already. Anyone have any luck calling vendors directly to order and just ditch the standard cap mag? This worth less ineffective law wasn't passed to stop crime. It was passed to inconvenience gun owners. It's working as designed |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Whats the difference between assembled magazines and disassembled magazines sold as parts kits? Nothing, complete magazines and disassembled parts kits are both banned. (36) "Large capacity magazine" means an ammunition feeding device 33 with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition, or any 34 conversion kit, part, or combination of parts, from which such a 35 device can be assembled if those parts are in possession of or under 36 the control of the same person |

Several FFLs I've spoken to pointed out that if I order a gun with standard cap mags and the FFL receives it, they aren't acquiring the mags for the purpose of transferring them, which is the only exception. I doubt you are going to see many FFLs or distributors ship guns with standard cap mags to WA on the assumption that they are covered by this clause. Like all WA gun laws, poorly drafted and designed to fuck with legal gun owners. |

I haven't run into any distributors yet who won't ship me standard capacity mags (FFL), either with firearms or individual. None of the vendors I use have even mentioned the WA mag ban aside from it coming up while BSing with sales/account reps. I actually just restocked a bunch of PMAGs because I laser engrave them for online sale (out of state now). I received two AR rifles for customers and they came with standard mags that I had to swap for 10 rounders (arranged with customers while their guns were in transit).

I just ordered one of the MKE AP5's, because the prices have drropped quite a lot. I noticed that a number of places wouldn't sell to Washington because of the included 30 round mag, and several said that they would remove it, but no change in price. I am just considering this another tax for living in this state.

The FFL can ship them to your buddy out of state
Or if your buddy is visiting the FFL can give them to him since he doesn't reside in WA Might not be very cost effective but at least they go to someone that can use them, and you can visit them |

Last three purchases I've made either the gun arrived without mags, my receiving FFL took them, or the sending FFL asked if I wanted them removed or order cancelled.
Good thing I bought a ton of mags but pretty annoying if I ever want to get into a new platform with mags I don't own. |
