Retail Process:
• If you've found a great deal or a rare find online, be it Gun Broker, Palmetto or one of the countless go-to online shops, it is important to call them directly to ensure they will ship the firearm to an out of state FFL. This is common practice and should rarely be a problem with the business owners or company policies.

• We will complete your order, create an invoice that can be paid via CC/check/e-check/ACH/Zelle. Unfortunately, we cannot accept Paypal due to their firearm policy. Once Payment clears, your order will be shipped out to your selected dealer and they will contact you when it's available to start your DROS.
• We do not block magazines. We may make special exceptions for rare/costly magazines by request, but it's typically cost prohibitive for all parties involved for ordinary $8 mags.

Don't catch a felony running compliance through a company that doesn't care enough about your freedom to so much as Google a muzzle device. The model of the "brake" is an "FSC30" which stands for Flash Suppressing Compensator-30cal. Searching the patent number on the muzzle device also claims flash suppressing capabilities.

Why do we completely remove the forward grip? While it would be easier to tack weld it folded, we'd prefer if your fingers stay in tact.

Aside from safety, we want to protect your investment by making as few alterations as possible. Should laws change or you move to a free state, you can simply re-install the factory forward grip in about a minute.

There's no doubt some of the geometries of these thumbhole stocks are complicated. While others may not resort to a full Kydex wrap such as the one pictured, it doesn't take much heat to make Kydex soft which makes it likely to loosen and rattle after sitting in a warm vehicle or on the tailgate while you're out at your favorite spot. Easy enough fix with a heatgun, I suppose. This isn't a real issue with most wraps, but thumbhole stocks in particular due to their sandwich design that are under a constant tension.

Rather than dealing with all of that, we went ahead and made ours out of a carbon fiber blend that has more than double the resistance to heat than the Kydex counterpart.

Another example of something that may seem legal at first but is in fact still an AW due to the large gap below the uppermost exposed portion of the trigger.

Can you give a range for your fees so I have an idea of what your service is like?

I'm looking to convert a PTR-91 (grip wrap + flash hider removal -- I have the CA-compliant brake already). What would this typically cost?

Our minimum charge is $25 for processing. This would be the charge plus shipping if a customer were to accidentally send the wrong firearm to us or if they were using us as a forwarding service from a retailer that won't ship an already legal firearm to CA.

Our maximum service for ordinary firearms would be a PS90 which is $600 as there is extensive compliance involved and the parts required are quite costly.

For standard grip wraps, our rates are on average $75 with an additional $15 charge for each feature such as stock pinning/flash hider removal and thread protector installed, however, for a PTR it'd just be $80+Shipping.

Of course. With the RDBs, much of the added cost comes from what muzzle device you'd prefer to have pinned and welded. We have our go-tos that are generally around $30-40 but if the end-user prefers to go higher end, they can quickly get into the hundreds. For the 17" it's $150 + shipping but since there's a much broader variety to meet 30" for the 20", the price largely depends on the end-user's preferences.

Do you guys already have the grip wrap there, or do I need to provide it?

[Dirtlaw]

Quite awhile ago I was thinking this would make a great business. It can be expanded though. A company that does the complete interface between citizen and state (including filings).

We do Kydex work in-house but will use 3rd party commercial parts when necessary or makes sense. We can of course pre-arrange shipments of privately sourced parts if the end-user already has particular parts they'd want installed. For instance, if it's a pin & weld and they're having a custom brake made.

We're not just here to make money, we're here for our customer's to get their money's worth. We understand that compliance parts do not add sex appeal, but they don't always have to be an eyesore. With Free State Rifle, you can expect the work to be done correctly so it can be displayed on the rack with no apologies needed. Our current lead times are still under two weeks from the time of receiving with very few exceptions. Note: We do not block magazines as part of our standard dealer services as the service is often cost prohibitive for the dealer vs simply replacing with a factory 10 round mag.



Above is an example of an OEM Steyr AUG magazine with a 10/30 block installed by MagazineBlocks. Their floorplate locks don't align, nor fill the locking tabs on the baseplate. It's purely cosmetic but why take the easy route?
