I'm headed to Arizona for some prairie dog hunting and will be coming back via California, so I need a couple of bullet buttons to be "legal" as I head through the state.
I'm in Middleton, so if anyone is near me, that would be great. Let me know! Eric

Eric Weren't bullet buttons just banned and everything now has to be featureless? https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/bullet-button If you still want one I might have some, I honestly don't know what I did with them when I left but they might be in my parts box. |

These are AR15s that are rimfires, so they do not fall under the new California laws. I just want them on to avoid any extra hassles if I get checked.
All centerfire AR15s are being shipped from AZ to pick-up in NV on our way out of CA. Still looking if anyone finds one. Thanks for the info! Eric

Isn't this covered by Peaceable Journey laws?

Not if you stop for the night, or plan to maybe go hunting. We hunted there in June (rimfires), with no issues, but this time I plan on being in the Los Angeles area for a couple of days. My cameraman, Tom, will be visiting a buddy of his who is very ill. Otherwise, we would bypass CA all-together.
I wouldn't risk any type of traveling through CA with any type of firearm that would get me in trouble. It's not worth the hassle and expense to get things straightened out. Eric

Sorry. For some reason I have a BB tool but not the actual BB |

Unless you plan on shooting, just separate the upper and lowers and keep them in separate bags.

Are uppers any more regulated in CA than they are any place else? It would seem you can separate the uppers and the lowers and put the lowers in a lockable transport box and be fine as long as you disclose to any LEO that you happen to run into that you are resident of another state that does not have the requirements that CA has and show that you are safely transporting them in a non usable state and they have been secured. I would contact the CA DOJ and ask them how they handle non resident transport through the state to return to your state of residence.
Either that or just ship them back to yourself and finish your trip up. |

If the CA DOJ, and a leading gun rights group for CA, recommend against it, then I'm not going to take the chance. I'll be shipping my centerfire uppers out of AZ to NV for pick-up after leaving CA. Please beware of this issue (all the parts you are carrying can technically make an "assault rifle", even if it is taken apart and stored) if you decide to travel into CA with a centerfire AR15 upper.

I'll be in the middle of that god forsaken state tomorrow thru oct 6 or so. If you need something I can bring it back with me. Hell my son may even have a couple, I'll ask.

There is nothing grey about uppers in Cali. This is the same mindset which makes Cali the way Cali is. You can always call a gun shop in Cali and ask them yourself. Eric

I'll stick with the Calguns Foundation/Firearms Policy Coalition and the CA DOJ (the latter not being able to answer the question definitively). Eric |
