Below is an excerpt email from Mr. Geoff Barrett in regards to selling the KA-legal Bushmaster receiver. Ok, anyone hear from Armalite, Rock River Arms, ASA, etc. (or any other AR-maker for that matter) if they are making a KA-legal receiver for this Commie State?
------------------------------------------ There are two parts to this answer. The first part of the answer is that we couldn't do it even if we wanted to. Upon the expiration of the Federal Assault Weapons ban, Bushmaster and everyone else were literally "cleaned out" of rifles and parts and they are still fulfilling backorders from last Fall for COMPLETE RIFLES ONLY, out of current production. They have stated that they are a RIFLE company First, and secondarily a Parts company. I don't see us getting uppers or lowers in the near future. The second part of the answer is that we have chosen not to, anyway. There exists a little-known issue called a FEDERAL EXCISE TAX on manufactured rifles, which is 11%. Putting a Lower receiver together with an Upper receiver is interpreted as manufacturing a rifle. While there are different rules for Licensees and Individuals, we have chosen to order only COMPLETE RIFLES at this time and WE pay the 11% Excise Tax. We don't make more money by selling complete rifles. In fact, we make a little less, because of the Excise Tax. It's a much "cleaner" way to go and we don't worry about Federal Agents seeking this revenue from us at some future date. Nor should you, since you purchased a complete rifle. Thanks again for your interest. Let us know if we can help you in the future. Sincerely, Geoff Barrett GB Sales
