Their legality stems from the Harrott v King's County case, which stated that CA cannot enforce the "AR/AK series" clause of the CA AWB. Each receiver brand and model name/number must be named specifically. Otherwise, the receiver falls under the "features" ban of SB23.
The CA DOJ is moving to add a bunch of names to the list. Once they add it to the list, there should be a period of time where people who bought these receivers can register them as CA assault weapons, and then put all the goodies on it. If not, then we'll need to convert the lower into a fixed mag rifle. THAT is why you're getting a bunch of requests. Hopefully you'll help out your fellow brothers in arms that are stuck behind enemy lines. |

If you look around on this forum or on Calnet, you will find letters from our CA DOJ stating the receivers are "currently" legal to purchase and possess. The rush for us Kalfornians is to get it quick enough before they become "banned" So help a bro in arm out.... BTW, CA penal Code will have no impact on you as it is only enforceable in CA. If anyone is to threaten you with prosecution based on CA PC, you should really contact your States Attorny General office and tell them CA is stepping on their toe BIG TIME. Selling across State line is protected under the US Constitution. Only the Feds has authority to regulate. |

If your lower is not named by the DOJ then it is perfectly legal to send into Cali. I will try to find the list for you, stand by. Here it is: ag.ca.gov/firearms/regs/aw.htm |

OH, BTW thanks for looking into helping us out.
 If you call the CA DOJ they will tell you a long list of lies but if you tell them to send it on paper they wont. Its been a race and its everything the DOJ can do to slow us down, at first it was the vendors, manufatures that didnt want anything to do with this and now we are seeing them flow in. Id sure like to see other lowers here that dont have a deer on the side, so far DSA's, and Stags have crossed the DMZ. |

So what you're saying is that if an AR-type lower receiver is NOT listed BY NAME on the CA AW list, we can legally purchase one (or many many more)? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me that this is what I am reading! How could I not have heard about this until now? I read this form almost daily!

That is not true. It is a violation of the terms of his FFL for a dealer to send a firearm or receiver into California in violation of California law. When a dealer accepts his FFL, he also agrees to abide by all state and local laws. See 27CFR §478.58 |

Does anyone have a name or list of ffl in Norcal that one can have a lower shipped to? Also a name of a vendor would be great also.

That is not true. It is a violation of the terms of his FFL for a dealer to send a firearm or receiver into California in violation of California law. When a dealer accepts his FFL, he also agrees to abide by all state and local laws. See 27CFR §478.58 Thanks for posting the link to this code. If there were a violation of this code, it would have to be a federal prosecution, not a state prosecution, correct? Either way, that shouldn't be an issue since the CA DOJ has stated in print that they are legal, even though they are trying to scare everyone away when they comment off the record. |

Anyone who tells you otherwise is smoking crack. Same rules apply to stripped lowers: -Detatchable mag= No Bayo lug, No flash suppressor, No pistol grip, No collapsable stock. -Fixed mag= Pistol grip, Bayo lug, Flash suppressor, Collapsable stock are all ok. -Rimfire= Everything is ok. |

Im not in on the reasons why but there is a guy in San Mateo County in big trouble because of a 80% lower., most of the guys who have spent the time reading the laws all say stay away from them. |

Well it seems that you get into this realm"""""manufactures or causes to be manufactured"""",
if you buy some parts and slap them together u aren't really manufacturing anything......ie....some assembly req'd But if you start machining things than u cross that line......... not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday inn last night.......

The DOJ told a friend that was going to build one the story, I wasnt there. Sorry. The DOJ is known to lie over the phone, they told me a JLD receiver was a no-go but everyone knows its ok, the guy told me over the phone it ws like an AR not a FAL or G3.  If you want to know you have to get it in writting and Im sure the reason we havent heard about the guy in San Mateo is his lawyer is telling him to shut the hell up and the media gives 2 shits about gun owners. IMHO |

I need help too. I came across this on Saturday and made a few calls on Monday with no success. I live in San Diego and can't seem to get any leads as to who to get the lower from. I figure once I can do that, I would worry about the second hurdle of getting an FFL to do the transfer for me. Or I would be willing to drive to the FFL if that's what it takes.
Please let me know if you have a lead as to where I can get a lower. Thanks. V.Muth |

If it is true what you guys have said about not having the lower reciever listed as an AW than it's legal to owned, right? If this is true true, why don't we all get VULCAN lower and Remove the Fixed magazine!! because vulcan isn't listed. The only thing we can do right now is dream.

We have decided to ship stripped lowers to CA.
We would prefer prepayment via money order from the FFL who will be handling the transfer in CA. |
