So I can order a "rifle kit" from say Del-Ton Inc and they'll deliver it right to my door w/out going through an FFL dealer? Then all I would need to complete the gun is a lower reciever and that would have to be purchased through an FFL dealer?

I reside in California so are there any other restrictions that I am not aware of?

Thanks for your help!
Pete

You are in CA, and you are restricted from such purchases. I'm sorry you live where you do...

You can order the kit, but you are banned from purchasing the receiver. My advice is to move to a free state...or buy an airsoft replica.

You can buy california lower receivers that either are single shot or use a stripper clip mechanism. You can find them here

Hello Everyone,

Thanks a lot for the replies... I had a sneaky suspicion that CA was stricter.

SayUncle: thanks for the tip on the CA legal recievers. Single shot or stripper clips is not what I had in mind, however, if it makes it legal, I'll have to consider it. Pete

Problem with a Cali lower is that they are more than a standard lower, and they are single shot. DPMS forged lower: ~$100.00
DPMS forged Cali lower ~$140.00
I'd move or just get different rifle man.

Can use use a rifle like an M1 there? No flies on that if he can...

Can't remember if it's semi-auto, military-issue-design, pistol-grip or box magazine that's the CA-Killer.
