CDNN=No firearm shipments to CA

[Inoxmark]

...but customers would order handguns from CDNN, having them sent to their FFL, only to find that the handgun had to be returned because the customer overlooked the model name, barrel length, or whether stainless or blued carbon steel. Some customers simply ordered things from CDNN not on the DOJ list at all, completely ignorant of the law.

I don't know, back 2002, maybe as late as early 2003 DOJ approved guns in CDNN catalog had "CA OK" icon next to the listing. So for a while they did try to keep up with the list. I would imagine they wouldn't sell non CA-OK handgun to a californian, they were already too mindful of CA laws. At about same time they kept advertising loaded M1As for a really good price, I think $1,099. I called CDNN to inquire if they had a model with muzzle brake and was very curtly told they wouldn't sell any M1A to CA, period. Over the next few years I purchased a bolt rifle and an O/U shotgun from them and received excellent service.

they would not even ship 10 round magazines to Cali.
they have good prices but they are also useless since you can't buy them here.

Interesting thing about 10 round mags. When the fed ban was in place there were of course 10 round mags galore. I thought when the fed ban expired prices on 10 rounders would drop like hell because after all, in 45 plus states who the heck wants to use the 10 when you have the option to use 15s or 20s - right?

That didn't happen. I think mag producers realized the people who tend to buy 10 round mags are the ones who have to - and if they have to why not keep the price up.

I've ordered a bunch of 10 round mags from CDNN with no issues....

So did I, some time ago. I just looked, and they are not offering 10-round Glock mags for the full-size models, just the standard-capacity mags.

I actually like CDNN's blanket no guns to California policy; I don't like it that the legal environment and business requirements make it necessary. But I want more and more California residents to get PO'd at the legislature; I want Sportsman's Guide and Cheaper Than Dirt to flat stop selling in California, and to make the reason very public. I want every internet vendor to recognize how much money is available from about 1/12 of the US population and to start to pressure the state for sane laws. I want that population to recognize that the reason a lot of stuff can't come here is because the legislature has gone off the edge, and financial self-interest ought to come before political posturing.

We need all the help we can get.

I bought 2 semi-auto Baikal shotguns from them last year and had it shipped to my local FFL dealer.

I don't know about handguns.

I would call again and talk to someone else.

I was able to get a little help on arf.com of all places buying some AR 10 rounders right after the ban ended. Also, some Ruger P85 mags elsewhere. And some states like NY and maybe MD and MA still have bans on hi-caps made after 1994. Those guys pay a premium for older mags.

Cdnn

I bought a bunch of 30 round AR and AK mags from them in the 90's.

When a few of the AK mags didn't load a full 30 rounds due to small dents on the body, they were apologetic, sincerely concerned, very polite, took them back without any issues, and promptly sent me replacements.

Boy, do I miss the 90's.
