I forwarded the email to a customer of mine who EXACTLY matches what you are looking for. Purchased an AR15 online, and did the transfer paperwork on 4/18/2023, Background check approved on 4/28/2023, and with mandatory 10 business day wait, he couldn't legally pick up until 5/2/2023 under existing SAR laws. But then HB1240 was signed between the application (4/18/2023) and the pick up date. So now his rifle, which he paid for, is sitting in my vault, collecting dust....
Guns are full of consumable parts. A simple extractor spring failure will deadline an AR. After HB1240 the rifle is now useless in WA. It’s very much like owning a car that you can never change tires or brake pads on. Get a blowout on a tire? Send it to the junkyard. I understand there is a specific legal strategy SMF is pursuing but ANYONE who owns a rifle in WA subject to HB1240 is egregiously harmed. Anyway, thanks for the hard work. I’ll continue my support
I can't help with a delayed transfer, but I have an AR pistol I can't bring into compliance with the ATF final rule. Due to the 1240 parts ban I can order a 16" barrel, and due to a damaged hand I can't use my AR without a brace? Becoming a felon or not being able to use the pistol for home defense seems like definable harm to me. Would a declaration like this be useful?
ANYONE in this pathetic state who would like to purchase a firearm and now can't is harmed. Same goes with the stupid magazine ban.

Not sure if this may apply, but what about purchasing parts for guns that may need servicing?
