Do you guys intervene when you hear someone getting bum scoop in a gun store? I just heard someone saying how M855 is illegal in California because it's AP. In fact the guy said a shop closed down because they were scraping off the green tip paint and selling as non ap. The same guy told someone that they made Cali legal FN P90s and what made them CA legal was that they had longer barrels, he didn't mention anything about AW features. I came looking for XM193 and I left in disgust. Who knows how many people are being misinformed on a daily basis. Plus they wanted $38 for 100rd 9mm WWB.

M885 is legal and they do make Cali legal P90's with longer barrels and magazine locks.

Read the note at the bottom of the page.






*If you reside in California, the rifle will install a PS90 California
conversion kit. It comes with a bullet button and a barrel extension to
meet the 30" OAL(Over All Length) requirement.

I would have stepped in at the M855 nonsense.   Depending on jackassery of gun shop employee, maybe even require a talk with shop owner.  I would possibly vow to never step foot in the shop again if that's the kind of nonsense they allowed employees to spew.

Those guys are just as dumb as the morons at Turners and Bass Pro.

Doesn't surprise me.  They are my local shop and I hate dealing with them.  They are getting better though.  Wasn't too long ago they were calling owners of OLL's felons.  Now at least they are starting to embrace the EBR, though too late in my book.



They do have American Eagle XM193, but they want $11 a box for it.  They are one of the most expensive places around to buy ammo from, and they can be pretty pricey on their firearms as well.

They were out of XM193 when I went. What other shops are around here?

Center Mass is over in the old Shooting Gallery, but they don't stock shit.



Triple A's in Vallejo, but I've never priced ammo there.



I usually buy from Cabelas or Sportsmans Warehouse when they have ammo on sale.



There is a gun show in Vallejo on the 9th and 10th of April.  Miwall always has a big booth there.  Reloads at decent prices.
