Moving guns

[johnsonrlp]

So I'm going to be moving back to California in a few months (yeah, yeah, I know,). And I've heard that certain handguns that are verboten from new sales are OK to move there with and sell used, with a good return rate. And I don't want to move and then want to get something and not be able to. So what are some good pistols to buy before I move?

[1911jerry]

Short list:

Colt Pythons.diamond Backs, Anacondas
STI in 9mm or .40
Colt Delta Elite or most 10mm
SW pre lock models

[chickenfried]

blued s&w revolvers

[johnsonrlp]

What about Kel-tecs? I found the list of approved guns but I'm trying to develop a list of the other ones.

[bwiese]

Might be a good idea not to do this as a for-profit business except for a very small number, but as a 'public service' it'd be appreciated.

More 10mm S&W 1006s would especially be welcome.

Can you pick up a couple of Sig P210's on the way in?

[johnsonrlp]

Holy cow! Sig p210's aren't on the list? That sucks. I might have to get a loan before I move I was just thinking about saving up to buy a couple of them.
How much do the p210's and 1006's sell for out there?
Yeah, I wasn't planning on unloading (sic) a truckfull. I was just thinking a couple, enough to finance an M1A and maybe a nice Cz or Sig. Looks like I'll have to pick up a CZ 52 before I leave too. Good enough to use as an excuse for the wife; "I have to buy them now. I won't be able to later!"
Is it true that LEO's are exempted from the import restriction (like the AWB and NorCapMagBan)? If so does the CDC count?

I think your best bet would be some 1911 frames. That way people can build the gun they want. I say carbon steel, stainless, and aluminum w/ and w/o light rail. If you do it I'll take a 1911 carbon steel frame with rail and checkered front strap.

What part of Cali you coming back to?

FC

[johnsonrlp]

Somewhere between Bakersfield and Susanville. Probably closer to the latter.

[CalNRA]

1911 frames would be most welcome. that and Keltec P32s.

[xenophobe]

Keltec P32s would give you the highest return....

Colt Pythons, Series 70 stuff and Sig P210's won't profit you much unless you want to hold on to them for a couple of years, but will make a lot of people really happy.

Early Smith & Wesson revolvers... early model or pre-model series, pinned & recessed would be good investment return potential...

i would pay up to double for a pm-11 pistol. pm me if anyone has one for private party transfer. one of my favorites would be the steyr spp they are scarce in Cali but i think there are a few. i got to hold a spp in vegas. i liked it but i have a glock instead.

STI frames, or even a complete race gun. You cant buy anything like that NIB in CA.
