Where are you running into Cali guns?  On the internet?  If you want one you had better run to the nearest store as they are flying off the shelves.

So I am nearing the edge and almost ready to jump, buying my first AR!!  I am buying a full gun and will build my next.  A question I have is;  What is the difference between a california legal AR and all others.  I keep seeing this and cannot figure out the difference.  I will probably be buying one off the internet and don't want to by a california legal gun if it significantly different.

Thanks

Johnny

Seems all major manufacturers have Cali guns for sale.  I am finding them on Gunbroker and other websites.  I don't believe it will be an issue to find one in the coming weeks.  Maybe after the first of the year???

I don't know but from what I witnessed demand has just hit the red line.  Even if it turns out to be nothing it wouldn't suprise me to see gun racks void of ARs in the next few days. 

I was in a shop today (Monday A.M.) and there were no less than 10 guns sold within an hour of the store opening.  I tried to buy some mags online and the website went down.  What was left on the shelf were a few Colts and a couple of .308's, the most expensive stuff.  All the cheap stuff was gone.

Pretty sure the California models come with a ten round mag.... can't say for sure if that is the only difference though!

I think Cali. ARs used to be blocked so that they can only be fired single-shot.  They may have lightened up on the magazine restrictions recently.  Not sure.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

It looks like Cali guns have two differences:  1.  max 10 round mag capacity  2.  Mag release button is innoperable, making the mag perminent until removed with a tool.   

Correct me if I am wrong....

I bought the last of the lowers in town yesterday and watched guys buying 10-40 p-mags at a time. 

Best of luck to everyone on back order, wait list, etc.

Anyone know where you can get BCG for a decent price????      :dunno: :dunno:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
