    Cali resident selling his CA reg'd AW



    That thing is priceless, why don't some people get it???

    CA Reg'd AWs are like "Free America" NFA weapons, you just don't let them go!!! There will be NO MORE!!!

    "Please make a reasonable offer as I am not out to gouge anyone on this, just trying to clear out items I no longer use or are a pain in the butt to own and transport to the range in Cali."

    What's so friggin' difficult about owning and not using a 100 dollar AR lower???

    Pain in the butt? Puuulease???? Even legal OLLs can get you tossed in the slammer from LEO ignoring or being ignorant about the law, at least you have paperwork with a CA Reg'd AW.

          I've had some of my friends sell their registered AW (AR-15)

          I don't think they are stupid. After all, they had like 7 in their collection. After all, how many AR's do you need, you only have 2 arms.

            Since there were legal compliance issues he appeared not to be aware of regarding AW shipments, I gave him the scoop.

            He may not realize he can build a 50BMG on it either

            Unless he drives it out of state, the fees charged by an AW permitted CA FFL dealer will run a fair proportion of the cost of the lower since no one outside CA will pay a premium for a $100-$125 lower (oh, add $40 for it being stuffed w/parts.)

              I see Bill posted a plea for him not to sell it. He beat me to the punch as I was creating a user acct on glocktalk.

                I'm cussing myself for not having more, nor more Imbel FAL receivers.

                You buy them because they are irreplaceable. What if your gun blows up, is stolen, etc.?

                    Sorry, I don't see the big deal. It's not as if it is a 1960s/70s era Colt, and other than it being AW registered in CA, really, it's just another gun, a basic generic Bushy AR, nothing special. True, the price he might get on it from a free state (the only place he can sell it) won't yield any great bank boost, so one must ask "why sell it at all?". I do see peoples' point on that. But why?

                    My answer would be; because OLL ARs are not registered.

                    In fact, since OLL ARs are so prevalent, and the MM grip is so extremely sufficient, I TOO have considered selling off ALL of my CA registered ARs in .223, even those considered "rare" by free-state standards, just to get rid of the "registered" stigma.

                    Now if it was a registered MP5, UZI, HK G3, L85A1, semi-auto M60, or Barrett 82A1, etc, where it would be something less common even in free-states, I would understand the importance. Rare, limited or no OLL offering, might make me keep those.

                    But for the same reason the price is cheap, it's not likely to increase in value either. It's unlikely ever to become a collectible gun, and the honestly, the registration aspect is irritating now, knowing there are plenty of no-registration-required OLLs available. Knowing I can get a OLL PTR-91, SIG, XCR, or a VEPR in .308 further makes me re-think keeping any of my registered ARs.

                    I can actually understand it. Before the OLL revolution, I would have emphatically said "NO WAY, I'LL NEVER SELL THEM!!"

                    But now?

                      With a regged receiver, you can legally have a no-question absolutely-legal detachable mag, folding stock, pistol grip, whatever you want- and shoot it anywhere, anytime with no legal hassles or any issues.

                      That's priceless, IMO. I would never sell any of my 1999 ban registered lowers.

                        There's no such thing as an off-list 50 BMG, that's reason enough to keep that lower. Sure you can get a 50 DTC but now you're *forced* to reload, you really have no options. I hear Summit is considering selling 50 DTC mail order, but AFAIK nobody is actually doing it yet.

                        Regards,

                          I might be willing to keep it in calif, but just registered for glocktalk and cannot post. Can someone contact the seller for me.

                            How are you going to keep it in California? You cannot buy a registered AW in CA
