Martin B Retting, and the OLL.

[acaligunner]

Hello;

I was thinking about getting a OLL (since I do not own a AR type rife), and went into MBR for some ordering info.

I talked with the two brothers & a few salespersons there, and most all of them informed me that if I went out and bought a OLL (lower or complete rifle), that I had a high percentage of being thrown into jail.

Also they informed me that they would not order any type of OLL.

So I'm thinking, (Self), why would the whole staff give me unreliable info?

Stating that I would/could be raided, thrown into jail-- for owning any OLL?

Is this just FUD, To keep me from going somewhere else?

What's the deal?

I know they don't have to sell lowers, AR's (oll), or bullet buttons, etc. But why all the mystery.

I know the owners don't like all the Ca gun laws, but isn't this a chance to live up to his customers demands, and show that he's in his right.

Martin B. Retting and Culver City PD don't get along. That's the mystery.

Go to Ammo Bros, it's not /that/ far away from Retting and they are extremely off-list friendly.
Retting has been extremely off-list UNfriendly since they started to appear a few years back. Too bad too, as they used a good place for fun rifles back in the day.

Oh yeah, and here's an thread with an article that might shed more light on the legality of off-lists:

It's quite simple. MBR, thinks that if you buy a OLL that which could be converted or built into an AW, you have a high probibility of going to jail. This is like saying that if you have a car that is capable of being modified into an illegal street racer, you have a high proability of going to jail. (Even if you don't modify it!) So, how flawwed is their thinking?

Exactly, that's why I don't understand there stance on OLL's.

It's a legal sale, so why do I get I'm going to be busted/raided for looking into buying one?

I would have liked a better dealing, than what they told me. If they don't want to sell OLL AR's, why did I get such a statement from them?

Weird, Ha.


So, he's doing us a favor by not selling up something that MAY be too dangerous for us. Oh I seeeee

MBR does not want the additional scroutiny from their local law enforcement agency. When you have a business and the cops hate you, you won't be in business very long if you do things to antagonize them.

[forgiven]

Is there any officers who/would comment on the Culver City police procedure/or behavior when it comes to guns. Thanks

[HotRails]

When you see someone behaving in this way, take you business elsewhere. However, I too would like to know the background on MBR's stance on OLL's. They used to be a little friendlier.

Might we know the source of your information that the Culver City PD "hates" MBR?

[MILLITIAof1]

MBR sucks, thats all there is to it.
