I pretty much though it had to be registered with HI but the OP was talking Federal and you did not say which you were talking about.  I even included that in my second post on here.

Yes 922r applies to the number of IMPORTED parts used with a gun that is built after 1989. 

You gotta register the receiver and make sure barrel length and USA parts count on foreign types are up to requirements and you should be good

Sorry that is just not true.  Can  you provide proof otherwise?

You can build any title 1 firearms legally, that is legal in your state, with no paperwork or "USA parts" count.  If YOU are building the gun then it is a US made gun.......

You can also build any title 2 firearm legally other then machineguns,  but with these you do have to serial number AND you have to have the approved paperwork back first.  Of course they still have to be legal in your state.

Oh yeah, can't build SBRs or assault pistols here

This is true

Ruger 10/22 hands down.

Reliable, cheep to shoot, accurate, you can carry lots of ammo if you needed to, quieter then other guns, easy to train others with.

While it may not be "humane" to take game with one it will work on anything up to and including medium game.

Wow that sucks.  I bought one in January and has run just fine for me.  All I have shot out of it is Federal Bulk pack.  I have 5 mags for mine and all run fine.  I probably only put about 500rds though mine. 

I do have a Gemtech Outback 2 mounted on it so that creates extra back pressure.  One of my old P-22's was real finicky but with the silencer on I have never had a problem.

Very good point. 

That is some of the kind of stuff we are trying to find out about. 

All good points and I do want to hear the real things about life there not just the nice.

I am somewhat worried about getting bored there.  How do others keep from getting bored? 


WA is very decent overall but we are still a "blue" state.  But you can have some NFA, Good carry laws, state preemption so no matter where you go in the state all the laws are the same.

I have been google searching every combination of words that I can think of.  We will NOT be moving without jobs lined up, that is not even an option.

I read everything from there is a great shortage of medics and if you are qualified there is no problem getting a job to the opposite of if you are not local and didn't get your training here good luck getting a job.  Then of course there is the "things are different here" and "mainlanders are not liked in these positions".  Of course I have read everything in between.   

Of course there is the issue of transferring our "licenses" over for our professions and we are just starting the process on that as well. 

She has been reading up on her stuff.  I have been doing the best I can with mine.  The fire department does not even have a website that I can find other then a one page "contact" info on the Hawaii County website.  There nothing I can find that talks about the job, the shifts, rotation, how the system works there, ect basic stuff you would find on most department websites. 

I know the other gun boards I am on have people from all walks of life and since I had gun questions I thought I would just ask this one also.

I am considering a move to the BI from Washington State.  I have been an avid collector and shooter for as long as I can remember.  The last few years I have slowed down a lot having other things in life going on and other things to spend money on.  I have been trying to read up on your laws but still have questions.

I will be selling a major portion of my collection IF I do move.  This is both to fund the move and due to the HI laws.  I decent portion of the collection is not legal there including NFA items. 

I am trying to decide what stuff I would bring with me but that would all be based on what kind of shooting can be done in HI.  Right now I shoot out my back door on my 300 yard range but I realize that is not going to be an option there.  Is there much shooting outside of "approved" ranges?  Can a person just go "out in the woods" and shoot/plink on their own?  Whenever we are out riding our ATV's or in the woods we have guns on us, is that even an option there?

On that same topic is there a practical way to ship my ammo over for the guns I do keep?  The thing I keep getting confused on is that it gets shipped as hazmat but ammo is shipped as ORD-M.  I have more then a little bit of ammo and with current pricing and availability selling here and buying there seems like a risk. 

I am sure I will have more questions as this thread gets going. 

Well I am considering a move from WA state so have lots of questions and stumbled on this site.
