Thanks for the post! however why wouldnt the HK416 be legal in California? Just slap on a bb like any other AR right?

The BOM covered why you cannot have an HK416 without the proper licenses. What you can now have is the HK MR556: http://www.hk-usa.com/civilian_produ...56_general.asp

Sorry that was the one I was trying to ask about. Didn't know we had to call it by the MR556 now for civi =/

I spent most of the day handing my Calguns Foundation cards with manufacturers and just asking if I can be a service to people to make their products CA legal and help them make some money. Mainly AR manufacturers and also some nicer pistol guys that could do factory single shots for us. The response has been pretty good thanks to guys like S&W doing BB rifles now.

MGI was very receptive to getting some fixed magazine devices for their Hydra system. I think I could handle a belt fed .223 modular system!

Black Rain Rifles already send guns into CA to a couple shops, but they fully understand they can deal with anyone and they were good guys. Their rifles are extremely nice and have some really cool finishes and designs.

I am working with Lone Wolf Distributors to get their Glock mag lowers into the state and I think I will be successful there.

I will be sure to head by Surefire today and check out their new mags. I am a dealer so I might just have to order some.

Any other requests? I mainly was visiting with the little guys.

Anyone have pictures of the mega arms booth?

You can BB the MR556A1.

According to Adam Webber of hkparts.net, 100 units of the HK MR556A1 will be available for sale after the SHOT Show. MSRP is $2995. First guns will be very expensive like the early SCAR and ACR, but certainly, prices will drop.

That Young Manufacturing ICE-15 is pretty sweet. Your video does a great job showing us the bolt/carrier/recoil system.

Thanks! Glad it's informative!

I walked the SHOT show all day today. I am totally tired. My feet are killing me. My back hurts. I don't even know why I am here. Oh, wait, I was sent here. Well, work is hard, but someone has to do it.

How about some info on the new mini Kimber single stack 9mm? Saw a pic of it but no real info.


And man I want one of those double barrel pump shot guns from Kel Tec. That would be my ideal h.d. gun for sure.


Edit: not double barrel but double mag/tube.

The Kimber 9mm is not that impressive. It kind of feels like a slightly slimmer Hi-Point 9mm. It is smaller, but the feel and look is nearly the same.

If you guys have not checked out the DiamondBack 9mm and .380s, you really need to.

For those of you at the show, they don't have a both, but their pistols are at Lipseys and RSR. RSR had the best selection.

I am sorry, but that Kel-Tec is a monstrosity! And at a dealer price of $800, that sucker is going to be a $1000 easily. The guy at the Kel-Tec booth was having all sorts of feeding issues with the dummy rounds. There is one at the RSR booth that no one knows about so you can handle them there.
