min age to buy and drink is 21 and 18 for tobacco products. i dont know of any local stores that will sell those small parts and there is no gunshows in march. best bet would be to order that stuff online...

There are no laws or restrictions on buying those parts. Magazines are restricted and you'll not find anything larger than 10 round ones for sale. Gun stores aren't likely to carry those parts as most of that business is mail order.

If your schedule permits, drive east on I80 to the Big Reno Show (March 10-12). Gun shows in NV beat anything Cali has to offer.

Frens - I'm pretty sure you will not find any of those parts in a gun store in California. They are perfectly legal to buy and sell but the stores just do not carry them.
Maybe you can contact Stag or Bushmaster or something and see if they will ship parts to the hotel you are going to stay in here. Good luck and enjoy your visit to SF. |

In Italian, how do you say "store full of overpriced garbage for sale by retard" ? Don't waste your limited time on surplus stores around here. They don't have gun parts and most of the merchandise is worthless. |

They're not exactly close to SF. Santa Clara's near 50 miles from SF, and can take upwards of an hour to drive there. However, your best bet for AR-15 parts may just be in Santa Clara: Reed's Indoor Range is, as far as I know, the only store in the bay area that caters to our type of shooting (as opposed to the Elmer Fudd hunters). They've got a good selection of "tactical" gear and accessories. You don't need any sort of paper for buying the parts. You may need to be 18 to buy magazines, but you can only buy 10 round magazines in CA, so there's no point. |

Having to be 21 to drink didn't stop me 13 years ago when I wanted a cold beer. Don't let it stop you either.

Also, you can't publicly smoke indoors, you must smoke outside. If you're going to smoke in your hotel room, ask them for a smoking room. Because we have a 100% tax on tobacco products in Calif, it is really expensive. A pack of cigarettes will cost $5US. Welcome to the USA & California. Do visit the Golden Gate Bridge and SF Chinatown. We don't have as much history as Italy. SF is only about 150 or so years old. |

be careful you need export permit for certain parts. US customs might ask you for that export permit.

I know. I would also need an import permit for certain parts (bolt, bolt carrier, barrel,etc.). but the only rifle part I'm looking for is the gas tube and AFAIK I don't need any permit for that...all other stuff are small accessories like killflash and blank firing adapter... |

Why are you trying to buy these AR15 parts in the USA? Are they not available in Itilia? All of these parts would probably amount to about $30US. |

shop doesn't carry replacement parts here. only the italian importer can find those parts...and if he could find them, they would cost me twice (even more) the american price. AR here in Italy are rare and expensive toys. |

Have you got your export notice? King's Gun Works will do an export notice for you and probably charge you a small fee, they would probably not charge the fee if you order something from them, but they don't deal in any with AR15s. The company is located about 10 miles(15km) north of Los Angeles. My freind exported a Colt 1911 to France using this company. Good luck, it can be done. You know, if you are going through the trouble to get a 1 of everything, why not get like 2. I wouldn't try to get too many the USA government may get upset. Take that home and sell to some friends to make some extra money or score some extra points.

Finding AR parts in CA is like looking for a Dairy Queen in Somalia.
I have to go to Reno if I want a bore brush without ordering it. |

NorCal_LEO: I doubt if our Italian friend Frens knows what a Dairy Queen is, so better explain it.
Miscellaneous firearms supplies are on my list that I buy at the gun shows. |
