Why do...... reDROS people....

[Juniper Kid]

OK, what's with all these people reDROS'ing every 30 days? I think it'd be better if you guys wait it out and reDROS only when the milpitas FFL gets them back.

What is the advantage and disadvantage, if you keep on reDROS'ing?

If you have DROSed, the lower is yours if they decide to add it to the list. If you haven't DROSed you are SOL.

Do you have to pay another 15 bucks for a reDROS?

What if they will never return them? reDROS'ing every 30 days is somewhat a waste of money, let's say the DOJ won't return it for 12 months, 15x12= $180.

$25 for re-dros...........I've already done it once, my next re-dros comes up in 2 weeks

[Juniper Kid]

Are you going to do it every month?

S*** that's gonna cost you a lot of mOOOla....

You bring up a good point on the financial reasons NOT to re DROS. Knowing the pace of the gov't, 6months - 1 year isn't unreasonable. I am organizing a group buy for Superior Arms lowers. The ffl doing the transfer is in the Santa Cruz area. You will have a lower for $190 out the door. You're better off spending the money on a new receiver than re-DROSing. Best case scenario you'll end up with 2 AR lowers, one of which you can eventually sell out of state.

Well if you factor in the time to go and do the re-dros plus the gas etc. then it's a lot more then that.

But it's not about the money, more about the principal of the situation............

No disrepect to Ben and the Milpitas FFL, they are cool people....

But to those of you reDROS'ing every month, I think you're better off buying another lower, you'll save money and have a peace of mind knowing you have a lower In Hand.

I hope everybody gets their lower back.

if AW list gets updated and you don't have a current DROS in affect when your lower gets returned, your SOL! it's ATF policy. doesn't matter if in "safe keeping" with DOJ.

that sucks donkey balls...

OK, the confiscated lowers are considered rifles, why are they required to be in a safe?

I've visited tons of gun stores and all of them don't keep rifles in safes... they have it stacked up for display, even Big 5 doesn't keep it in a safe, they are all on display or in Big 5's backroom, I've been to their backroom where they keep the rifles... it's Not a safe.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It's different because these lowers are considered to be "series" weapons, even though not yet stated in the AW list by make and model no., and that based upon there design features to make them usable, SB23 characterics would be violated--long story, short version.

Everyone- When the AW list gets updated those lowers are considered banned. You CANNOT DROS (read: reDROS) something that is "illegal" (read: BANNED), nor take possession of DROS item(s) if past the 30-day period without doing a new DROS--ATFs policy--and Kalifornia's 10-day waiting period. Period. And according to ATFs 4473 form, as of my understanding, the transaction hasn't been completed until you signed the form taking possession of your DROS item(s). No matter how you look at this, those of "us" which have lowers in "safe keeping" are in a "Catch 22."

My question is if the AW list gets updated and the lower doesn't get returned to the FFL to complete the "transaction" during the ATF 30-day policy, then what? Am I fu----! I cannot DROS something that's banned. I see a court case. (And now I'm going to get some ZzZzZz since it 2:30 in the morning on Saturday. Spending WAY to much time these days on the calguns site. It's been interesting...)

You sure seem to feel strongly about this, why is that? It's a personal choice, but I still recommend that if you care about your lower at this time, re-drosing is a good idea.


DOJ has told some of us OVER THE PHONE WHERE THEY CAN LIE, that we don't even have to re-dros.

However, they REFUSE TO PUT IT IN WRITING!

Now can you see what we're dealing with here? I'd rather fight them and win at any cost. I've already spent $thousands on an attorney just to fight for my personal 2 lowers that are in the siezed mix. I'm f-ing crazy like that, and the DOJ is counting on us to fold.

If you only have 1 lower coming, and it's been siezed, I've been advising people for some time now to get another, from ANYWHERE.

Worst case you end up with 2. Well, I bought about 20 for my own personal use (and am not selling any ever.) So I guess it's the principle involved

[artherd]

...maybe. DOJ's told callers something else over the phone but that's worth what it's printerd on.

However they REFUSE TO PUT IN WIRTING wether re-drosing is required!

That alone tells me they want to f--- with us.
