You can build one in the other 49 states of the union. Probably in Mexico and Canada as well for that matter.
You may own everything except the lower receiver and any magazine more than 10 rounds. |

Do you already own a reciever? If so than you can build it into an M4 as long as it meets all the other laws such as the federal post ban crap. If you don't already have a receiver then there is no legal way to get one now in ca.

If you are a PRK resident, it isn't legal to buy an AR15 anywhere (unless you can legally claim to be a resident in another state as well). That usually entails owning a home that you can prove you use as a residence for at least 90 days a year, though state law varies.

No, I don't have a reciever. I was thinking about having a friend from another state recieve the parts in mail and build it, then send it to me. would that work? I really miss firing the M4. I might move in a few years but that seems too long too wait. There must be SOME way to beat that law. If I went to Mexico and bought the parts and got it there and came back to the U.S. would it be legal?

First off, are you talking about a real M4 (select fire) or a semiauto M4 clone?
For the real full auto thing, you're going to have toget the hell out of CA, and be ready to shell out something in the area of $5k for a transferable (civilian legal) full auto M4 clone (on a non Colt receiver). If you want a semi, you're probably still going to have to get the hell out of CA. Troy is the expert on California law though (among other things), so listen to him; he knows his stuff. I was thinking about having a friend from another state recieve the parts in mail and build it, then send it to me. would that work? Work for what? Getting a felony or two on your record? Maybe. (#1. straw purchase, #2.interstate transfer of a firearm between unlicensed individuals) If I went to Mexico and bought the parts and got it there and came back to the U.S. would it be legal? I don't even know if you'd be able to get parts in Mexico - I don't know what the firearms laws are like there. I do know however, that bringing a firearm (I believe the term of art with regard to importing is an "implement of war") across international borders without the proper import permits is a felony. Will trigger a very serious sh*tstorm if you get caught. There must be SOME way to beat that law. Yup. Get the hell out of CA. I don't mean to be harsh, but if there was an easy way to legally circumvent the law, tens of thousands of Californians would have already done it. The only easy way is to leave. |

Americans get thrown into Mexican jails over [b]pocketknives[/b], much less guns. Few Mexican citizens could get permission to buy an AR15, and no way any "foreigner" could. And you are inspected when you cross back into the US. Suffice it to say that the Border Patrol has no sense of humor for those bringing weapons into the country illegally.
As mentioned before, it's illegal to have someone buy a gun for you (called a "straw purchase"), and it's illegal to transfer a gun across a state border unless you have a Federal Firearms License (FFL). It's also illegal to import AR15s into Kalifornia regardless of their configuration. If you want an AR15 legally, you'd need to move out of the state. -Troy |
