This may look really funny, but this thing gets around the California Assault Weapons laws. No bullet button. No Flash hider. No vertical grip. No folding/collapsing stock.
SACRAMENTO (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law set to take effect Saturday that would have barred gun owners from possessing high-capacity ammunition magazines.
3 AK builds from kits. All were with barrels so easy builds. The best kind!
Trio of AKs I built in 2016. Romy G, Hungarian AMD65, and a Yugo m70 AB2
Up close electro-etching results
Showing Off some of my handiwork. AK Builder Flats, Tapco triggers, Black oxide finish. And electro etched markings. I took the Romy G and the AMD out for some shooting and they worked flawlessly. I love AKs.
Very interesting. President Trump is carvings out AR-15s and 30 round mags as legal in all states.
“(a) The AR-15 and similar semi-automatic rifles, to include flash suppressors and bayonet lugs, magazines of up to thirty round capacities, M-7 bayonets, and ammunition in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington, in all quantities.”
Also M1A and Garanad rifles and bolt actions in US military calibers. I think the m1a is an error since it is a single companies trademark and it should list m14 type semiautomatic weapons.
Weird little details that I don’t know why they are in there, Listing m-7 bayonet but not m9 or an okc3s? Only .223 AR-15s? So my Grendels or .300 BLK wont be protected. Does this include AR-15 Pistols? There is a clause about “made in america” which I find funny since FN Herstal in Belgium is one of our largest military suppliers of M4A1 rifles (the current ar15 equivalent in our military).
He should go a step further and list a few handguns like the Beretta 92/m9, Sig 230, and the venerable 1911.
Still this is massively awesome. States will fight it. There will be law suits. Props to President Trump if he goes forward with it.
Deputy Director Ronald Turk sets forth “points for discussion” that include his opinion that the continued inclusion of suppressors under National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations is “archaic” and “should be reevaluated.”
The white paper is called, “Options to Reduce or Modify Firearms Regulations.” And may go into effect in march. It reduces restrictions on suppressors and importation of military style firearms. win win
The intent was to stem the mass sale of AR-15 type weapons to CA citizens. And they failed. The law was signed a day ago and the solution to make an AR-15 compliant is already here. Good job you stupid law makers.
What I have here is another gunbroker find. This one is a very rare 1871 Colt Richards Mason Conversion .44 Colt. One of the first Colt Metallic cartridge pistols.
It has a few flaws… This is after many hours of cleaning.
I grabbed a Winchester 1873 Rifle project a little bit ago in 38-40. this one was made in 1888.
Winchester 1873 missing lots of parts
Rusty, side plates didn’t fit, no links trigger or lever. It has a an octagon barrel that has been shortened and a buttstock that is shorter too. Not much original. I decided to make it a shooter and give it a simple refinish. So I started searching for parts.
Here it is apart after I found some toggle links.
1973 Winchester in pieces
This Saturday I spent my time filing and sanding on my back patio sipping ice tea. This was an extremely rewarding build so far. I just have a smile ear to ear when I take two rough, crusty and rusted parts that are ~130 years old and make them fit together just right. More pics to come. Should have it done in a couple weeks.
