Looking for FFL in LA to help me buy AR 15 and make it compliant
Hello everyone,
I've been thinking about buying an AR 15 lately and have been reading about all the regulations in California. I found this Swith & Wesson M&P 15 which I believe would be a good first AR for me. I already have a handgun and a shotgun and go to the range occasionally. I contacted DEGuns.net and they are willing to ship the rifle as long as the FFL can either take the "features" away or make the magazine fixed. Do you know a FFL who would be willing to do that in or around Los Angeles (91006) ? Edit: Added the link Last edited by sinan; 11-06-2018 at 5:07 PM.. |

It has to be a non AW prior to entering this state. There are plenty of local FFLs who can help you though. Try Addax in San Fernando. Also, don't think that buying online and having it shipped is going to save you too much. Figure shipping will be around $20-$30 and FFL fees to receive it will probably be close to $100. You'll have to pay state sales tax for any CA FFL who does the transfer so, that's another expense to factor in.

It needs to be made CA legal prior to being shipped to CA. A CA FFL dealer without an assault weapons permit can not legally accept a shipment of an assault weapon. A CA FFL dealer with an assault weapons permit can not accept a shipment of an assault weapon and make it into a non-assault weapon. ^Doing so is grounds to have their assault weapons permit revoked. So, you will need to buy the firearm and have it shipped to an out-of-state FFL, who will then modify it to be CA legal. After which that out-of-state FFL will then ship it to your CA FFL dealer.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It seems like a lot of trouble to ship it to an out of state FFL first to modify it before he ships it to a CA FFL. I will probably just buy locally or get the lower and upper separately and build it myself.

Check with Addax Tactical in San Fernando. In the end might end up being cheaper to just get a compliant AR directly from them. |

Oh, bummer and good to know... In that case, the only option would be to build it behind enemy lines from a receiver, or have it imported compliant.

SALES@ALPHACATOUTDOORSUPPLY.COM Is a dealer in AZ that does this kind of thing. He is member on this forum; "Audiophil2" I think. You should be able to email him or send him a PM. I've never used his services but seems to have reasonable rates. Still might be better to just build one yourself...

Bruh, just go into Turners (or whatever LGS) and buy a CA compliant AR. I'm sure they have them. You're over complicating this issue.

Basic AR $599 Shipping $25 Middleman fee $50 plus parts $25 Shipping $25 CA dealer interstate fee $25 (what I charge) Tax on all the modifications and shipping at 9.5% Or go to Turners and pay $650 for one already on the self. It’s a no brainer. It’s not like the OP wanted something that’s impossible to find or some super duper awesome AR-15. Just go to turners and grab one today.

Oh, Phil is great. It just seems that his services are unnecessary for what the OP was trying to accomplish.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. As I wrote a few days ago, it's too much trouble to try to buy the rifle on sale and have it shipped to someone out of state to make the changes before having it shipped here.
I've been thinking about building my own AR, rather than buying an AR locally and then modifying it. Please let me know what you think I have created another post for that. |

If you want, I or any other firearm professional can make the gun CA compliant so it arrives at your dealer CA compliant and ready to DROS immediately.
