Mark 23 in Cali

[Jason_R]

Yes, but the $2750 gun has been altered.

I could just keep it...it's not like the value's going down.

That'd be my solution.

BTW, the altering for a Californian is a good thing. It's a hassle they don't have to deal with to shoot it. New barrels are easily had from HK.

Let me understand this. I can buy a mk23 and take out the barrel and throw in some 10 round magazines and have it be legal here. So I can get any out of state gun dealer to sell me one as long as they take out the barrel and magazines.

[Aluisious]

Well considering this is a brand new pistol, threads not removed (barrel removed from gun), last run Mark 23 I am absolutely firm on $3000. I can get you an extra barrel for you to remove th threads for about $300+ or -.

They are actually selling for about $2200 outside of Cali, the last ones that made in state are all gone...which is where mine came from.

I'd have to leave the 12 rounders here...but I would ship them anywhere out of state as long as the buyer didn't have plans to bring them in state.

You can be firm on whatever price you want, doesn't mean you'll get the $.

Try, and if it doesn't work, sell for less or keep it.

Nope, if a Ca. FFL receives a handgun from out of state. It must be on the approved handgun list.

He plans on moving into state and selling these handguns.

[F-2_Challenger]

So if i find a guy in Ca that is wanting to sell his I can buy it with out the threaded barrel and high cap mags?

[stevie]

I assume so.... No idea if the seller must fill out the "new resident handgun form" first.

Yup.

It also sounds like Jason_R is trying to do this as a business, instead of "just happening to have guns to sell when he moves back to CA", which I'm not sure - even with PPT - has the right legal smell to it.

Like I said if this thread should be deleted, I'll delete it.

Just seeing if the interest is out there if I decide to sell it once in state. It's an expensive hand gun and I don't plan on shooting it, so I may need to sell it at later date to fund other projects/endeavors/school.

I want to say you can buy it WITH the threaded barrel, as long as the barrel is not assembled in the gun, but I'm not sure how you'd demonstrate safe handling with it unless it came with an altered barrel too.

The standard caps you cannot buy.

Hmmm, interesting point.

I never thought of the demo requirement before in relation to this.

I'm not sure but doesn't the demo requirement only apply to new gun purchases and not PPT transfers?

Frames are transferrable via PPT, so those don't get the demo...

The standard caps you cannot buy.

Correct, if you mean standard caps = hicaps. Unfortunately I do use the banners' terminology because that phraseology is codified into the law ("high capacity ammunition feeding device") and I don't want to see confusion.

[luvtolean]

Yeah-standard caps equalling 12 rds.

I had to do safe handling for the last pistol I did a PPT with, but I don't know if it was an overly paranoid FFL or not.

Good point on the frames. Hell I dunno...I just know our laws suck.

as Bill said above, this smells a bit to me (an ardent pro-gun guy) like too much of a CA firearms law workaround straw purchase. Posting a gun (that in its complete state isn't just not approved, but a CA AW) for sale before you move to CA, then bringing it in, reg'ing it, and selling it MAY be perfectly legal, but may also be a good way to get some immediate attention from the DOJ, who have made it explicit to us that they monitor us Gun Nuts on this forum.

$1699 in desert tan, tan zip case, four 10-rounders...latest CDNN catalog, page 9. You'd need the barrel neutered before the gun came into the state.
I do realize you'd need to order through an ffl in CA, as CDNN will not ship semi pistols into the state. I'm thinking for your asking price it may sit for a while , though you might stumble on a mall ninja with more money than sense.

Consider the interest that your cc company is accruing (sp?).

Good luck

But here's the thing. A resident in California CANNOT buy a Mark 23 with or without the threaded barrel. It's not on the list.

Tan Mark 23s are retarded and noone wants one.
