Thought you couldn't have a pistol grip in Cali?

Does it shoot ping pong balls?

 

[Saint Nick]

Cool

So what "missions" as per the advertisement one would be on that would limit them to using a California compliant "assault" rifle?

I can see people living in rural areas using a 223 for coyotes, bobcats, hogs,,, to protect their livestock or crops.

Something with low recoil for fast followup shots.

~ EDIT ~

My wifes cousin lives in a rural area in California, where he raises chickens and other livestock. Sometimes a coyote will come close to his farm. I bet he would like to have a flat shooting, accurate, low recoil rifle like an AR-15.

You can have all of the "evil features" you want as long as the magazine isn't detachable without a tool.

Now that basically every major AR manufacturer (S&W, Colt, etc) is making a CA compliant AR the people who wrote the assault weapons ban must be rather pissed :awe:

Whats the point? Does this let you shoot up trees with better accuracy? Wank!

I just ordered an 80% AR 15 lower.
Now I can build a rifle that doesn't have to go through an FFL.

I'd build a pistol but since I have an M4, I don't want to chance "constructive possession" and get charged with having an SBR.

Shoot trees around me and I'll kick you in the balls.

Well then, shootin' up logs and rocks?

What do you do with the 80% lower? What machining is required?

I know a lot of people fold their own AK receivers which is apparently easy and a good way to get around running it through an FFL.

I hang my targets on stands.
I hate idiots that take items (microwaves, TVs, etc) out to shoot and then leave them laying there when they leave.
When we go shooting, the wife and I always spend the last 1/2 to 1 hour cleaning up the site. We always leave with two full, large trash bags.

Why? Rocks are naturally hanging targets. P-WANG!

 

[Pocatello]

they should have one painted in white or pink, so it's not an evil black rifle anymore

You have to mill out the magazine well IIRC.

Example.
There are "build parties" where a machinist will let you use his mill.

Thought pretty much everybody made "compliant" rifles by now but I guess they were just late to the show...

There's plenty of those...my wife's is close
