AR-15s legal in California? 22LR variants?
831485
Short answer? No. Not even a 22LR based on an AR15 action because it would fall into the first group they banned, which was all AR like rifles. But wait for the long answer. And I disagree with Bound's hubby although I own four or five myself. I just don't think the AR-15 action is good, never mind the best. All that venting gasses into the action really sucks. But the accuracy lives in the connection of the upper receiver to the barrel and the quality of the barrel, so it's as good as anything. \n\nAnyway, the long answer. Yes, if you already have them (you don't) or you are willing to build a 10 shot fixed magazine version from an 'off list' lower.\n\nRead the link below then search for "off list lowers" and off you go. AR15.com is a good source of information and advice, you can also ask where to find a FFL who will accept shipment of your off list lower if you decide to do this.\n\nSo basically, you buy an AR-15 lower which is not on the banned list. You obtain a lower parts kit, a stock, buffer tube, recoil buffer and spring and a fixed 10 round magazine kit. Bear in mind that some of the fixed mag kits are an expensive way to buy a nut and a washer, the one I use has a grub screw through the side of the magazine release which allows it to be locked in place with the possibility of being removed if I ever leave Kalifornia.\n\nSo you follow the self build steps at ar15.com and an hour or two later you have your AR lower in one piece. So long as you fix the magazine before you attack the pistol grip you are OK. You then add your fixed length stock (collapsable stocks are also evil cop killer features) and then add your choice of upper in anything from 22LR to 7.62x39 (though it has to match the magazine). You can't have a short barrel, a flash supressor or a bayonet lug on your upper, but that shouldn't be an issue. I have nothing on one of my two complete rifles and a muzzle brake on the other.\n\nAll perfectly legal because California only banned complete AR type rifles and a specific list of lower receivers. I have four Stag lowers and am entirely happy with them. I used Stag lower parts kits and A2 stocks. I ordered from EagleFirearms.net where the lower will currently cost you $95 and the parts kit $65.\n\nErm... is that enough? \n\nThey recon there's more than 10,000 of these been imported into CA in the last year or so, it's a big issue for CA DoJ and the longer they leave it the more of an issue closing the barn door becomes. If the worst come to the worst and they ban them all I'll be transferring them to a friend in NH where I can visit them a couple of times a year.\n\nBy the way, the improved RRA two stage NM trigger is the best mod you can make to an AR for $100. The standard AR trigger really sucks and the RRA is as good as many much more expensive examples and a vast upgrade.\n\nThe last link below is the build method, the only part you really need to be cautious with is pushing in the pins on the trigger guard and bolt release, the method show works well.

They are illegal in NY, HI and CA. Because they view them the same as switchblades. Stupid states. Really they would be illegal in any state if the police wanted to arrest you for it.

well you must mean bb gun. first off if you consider it playing you shouldnt even have one. and as far as the state law in illinois when i worked at a gun shop if it had a velocity of 700fps or more it had to be sold as a firearm with the same paperwork and background check as any firearm. state laws will vary though. dont consider it playing though. even a low powered air gun is capable of putting some ones eye out.

While I would like to own a class three weapon, I wouldn't ask such a question in an open forum.  Currently, the convenience store (BATF) is pursuing several legal gunsmiths for various reasons.  If they found out you did this they would be at your door.

As a prior resident of Oneonta, New York, it was forbidden to have air guns, cap guns, or any guns excluding the use of police weaponry.\nMy brother was ticketed while shooting an annoying squirrl (which he missed), but he happened to do it as a police officer drove by.\nSo to answer your questiomn, it is illegal by the State of New York to hold any harmful weapon of any kind in ones pocession.\nSo if you have one, don't tell anybody. Or throw it away. \nYou can et a big ticket like my brother Jeffery the 2nd.\n\nGood Night!

Depends on the model.  The normal range is between 300 fps and 1000 fps.  I have seen specailty rifles that can be adjusted to fire at 1500, which by the way is faster than a .22 LR.

I believe in CA they ARE considered Illegal. I tried to play at a field years ago with an F2 Illustartor with a silencer and was told that I could not because it's illegal.

It all depends on the state and game. In my state which is like a lot of others:\n\nhunt with a fully automatic firearm. It is also illegal to hunt with a semi-automatic rifle with a clip or magazine holding more than five cartridges (except .22 cal rimfire rifles and pistols), or use full-jacketed metal case bullets;

easy, move to a state where it is legal to own one, and buy one that is legally registered as a full auto weapon, that would be a class 3 weapon and its going to cost you

It is usually the sme state to state. In California if you have a DUI the sr22 is one of the requirements as well as going to the maac project classes and a reinstatement fee. You can get a general idea of California sr22 pricing at this site

It may help if you tell the state too.     May want to try a Google search for rifle clubs in your state.    Also may want too check with your local gun shops or state department of parks, many states have public ranges to shoot at.

Yes. You can get a license to own an automatic weapon, but the AR15 looks exactly the same. You fill out an application with a Class III dealer (only a few around)  & lay down a deposit. The feds do a hardcore background check plus the $250 fee per weapon. IF & when they clear you, complete the purchase, but they have the right to no-warrant search your house at any time to inspect the storage conditions. Call your local ATF office, explain you're a collector & want to figure out the process. Also be aware that some states (Ca, NY) have additional regulations that the feds will not care about, so they may license you in Ca, but that doesn't prevent your local/state cops from busting down your door. There's also regulations about transport & such. Do lots of research.
