Godspyro over at Spokane Gun Trader (SGT) asked a good question today.
"9.41.010
(9) "Firearm" means a weapon or device from which a projectile or projectiles may be fired by an explosive such as gunpowder.
(10) "Gun" has the same meaning as firearm.
If a "firearm" is missing a bolt, slide etc it would not be capable of fireing a projectile and would not be concidered a firearm per state law correct?"
I am thinking Godspyro may be correct since federal law does not prohibit selling a firearm if the sale was between private individuals that are both residents of Washington. No federal laws would be broken by selling two halves of a firearm in two separate transactions. I am also thinking that if my machined chunk of metal/plastic is incapable of firing projectiles then it does not meet the strict definition of a firearm under Washington State law I would not be buying a firearm and would not need to go through an FFL.
I am also thinking I would not want to be the test case.
Just to be clear I am open carrying as I type this. Blaze away.
