Anybody here have info/opinion on the legality of a California resident buying barrels/complete uppers and having them shipped to a P.O. box in Nevada or Arizona? For private use and personal builds of course, no intend to sell or distribute obviously. TIA
Mailed FFL on 7/28 and did livescan and COE same day.
Got my FFL this week, but COE is still parked in progress.
Same status and timeline for a buddy of mine who also did it same day.
Looking at the timelines from everyone it seems like the COE actually processes pretty fast or at least people get the kick back email that its incomplete quickly.
Are things just running a lot slower right now? Anyone else in the same boat?
I am trying to build my first AR-15. My budget is around $1500. I was initially looking at lowers and came across the Aero Precision M4E1, but I have quickly found out that is hard to get since it is out of stock everywhere. What options do you recommend? I was looking at the Sharps Bros live wires also, but I am indecisive. Thanks!
I realize they’re not officially on the roster yet, I just want to check out and feel up the different models.
for $1k, that's a pretty solid deal
if you don't know, these come with a cold hammer forged modern/tapered profile barrel that's more balanced.. they come with an upgraded Triggertech 2-stage trigger, ambi safety and charging handle, a Sig MSR red dot, and a really nice handguard IMO
shot of adding a light and sling, this is ready to go for the average person with no upgrades needed although some of you may want a different grip
Hey for those of us in the area, I just found out there’s a proposal for a new indoor range and shop in Walnut Creek! See the attached link for more details.
We should write to whomever and get this pushed over the line and approved!
Glock 19 gen 3, about 30,000 rounds through it. Cleaned it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Had it spotless. Still malfunction after malfunction lol.
PPT was done this past Saturday & I was seller. FFL called me today and said buyer didn’t pass DROS due to a DMV issue and I can pick up my firearm. Spoke to buyer and he said the issue was taken care of today.
Is it still possible the buyer can pass DROS before the official time is up which is in mid September?
Should I charge any inconvenience fees to buyer at all? Maybe keep some of buyers money assuming this doesn’t happen to cover gas and my time? FFL is just over an hr away. Should I charge an extra fee to start process over again with same buyer? He’s a nice dude but it’s still a pain to have to deal with this.
Update: Called FFL to see if buyer reached out. Has not called at all. Asked for any updates from buyer and no answer from him either. I guess I’ll pick up my firearm and keep his hard earned 🤷♂️
"The city of Glendale announced it would charge $1,078 for an initial application for a concealed carry permit, which would come in addition to fees for fingerprinting, a training course and a psychological evaluation."
"The Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed the prices listed on the website, as well as estimates for the psychological evaluation, fingerprinting and the training course, which comes to at least $2,106."
Looking to get my first AR and not sure if i should go featureless or maglocked. I see a lot of people hating on maglocked but doesnt seem like that much extra work for the extra modifications you can do to the rifle compared to featureless but all ive seen are videos. What are you guys running here mostly? Any advice?
Just want to preference that beyond the abysmal experience with Premier Weapon Innovations it remained rather civil. Extreme disappointment aside, this is only to warn the community of my experience from this custom shop in SOCAL.
After my initial post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/CAguns/s/LHzp9DlTYh ) a few weeks regarding my dilemma with my failed CZ Shadow 2 customization project I contacted the shop to follow up. I was told to just send my contact information for a cash payout for the value of the matched Shadow 2 slide. Assuming he wasn’t able to obtain a replacement or didn’t want to I refused the money. The shop is an FFL, they had a better opportunity to replace the part than I would, beyond the bigger issue of finding replacement slides for CZ which are next to impossible right now.
Put in another dilemma I had asked if the funds were being paid and if the original slide was going to be returned and he refused…….
Either I accept my slide back unfinished or the cash, he stated he considered the matter closed if I didn’t. Both options were not great. Money or not, if he wasn’t able to get one, neither could I and I’d be literally left without a functioning firearm. So I very begrudgingly accepted the ruined slide back.
Upon unboxing my slide I found the front sight was missing, assuming it was removed for milling and not included in the box. I can just ask for it back hopefully he ships it, no big deal right?
All was well after a few back and forth messages he agreed to mail it to me. And upon receiving the paper envelope it was also missing…… A small, sharp metal part shipped not in a proper bubble mailer or wrapped in bubble wrap but a thin standard paper envelope.
Yup, it punched a hole right in it and is now gone as well. Sent a picture all he said was “it was in there when I shipped it”, I have some kind words in mind that I wish I could use but I rather keep it cool.
This has been without a doubt the worst experience I’ve ever had in every way without question, company, service, anything! I made this follow up to warn the community about this shop and owner as even when directly responsible for the TERRIBLE work the owner had poured more salt in the wound and did so unapologetically.
Hope you guys have better luck than me, I regret every decision I made following my acquisition of my brand new CZ 😭
Honestly told myself I wasn’t going to buy one since I am not a Glock guy and they are going for way too much PPT. Found this one as a new PPT for $1k and figured what the hell.
Have a ramjet on the way but might not do much more other than optic/irons & steel guide rod…maybe a brass plug.
Going to wait to see how trigger breaks in before changing it. It’s admittedly pretty rough currently. Open to any suggestions though.
Now that I'm official with the FFL03/COE - If you haven't done it already, do it. It's ridiculously easy - I obviously need to stock the old ammo closet. I know there is a list of places online that accept this config to send it directly to you, but what the best sites? What places have you found great deals that don't take forever to ship out? Who's your favorites? I'm sick of paying for overpriced ammo in the stores.
shot perfectly with an A2 flash hider but that thing wasn't hiding no flash.. more like throwing fireballs.. going to try the SI Cloak + Oppressor next time to see if I can make even bigger fireballs
if you can guess what my last pistol purchase was, you win
