I live in california, and I filled out the registeration stuff, but I am making preparation for the eventuality that I did not fill it out correctly. does anyone know of someone who makes them? there was a company a while ago, but it seems they are no longer on the web.

Please don't suggest leaving the state because I don't want to and also it isn't an option for me. It is too late to not register them, because the form is already somewhere in Sac i figure.
 
ARs and AKs have to be registered under the 1989 Roberti-Roos AW law (because they are "series" guns), not the SB23 (which had the p-grip work around as a possibility). I don't know if the RR registration window has opened, closed, or hasn't happened yet. I don't really care.
 
its an AR i sent in the reg form already, but if they don't like it then I need to take the pistol grips off. I should see soon

San Francisquito Bill is talking about some new thing, all AR and AK type weapons must be registered with or without the pistol grip. i don't know what consitutes an AR/AK type gun
 
I think the ARs and AKs have an extra month or so to register past the beginning of the year... check to be sure.



Good luck, I hope for the best. (and if your reg is not accepted at first and you reapply, keep the notification for proof that you at least attempted to register before the end of the year - just in case).
 
AR's are definitely RR-89

and the grips don't matter. Even a stripped lower must be registered because the stripped lower is the rifle and RR-89 makes no mention of accessories.
 
Here's the deal--Your gun MUST be registered to comply with the law. The registration form must be postmarked by Jan 23rd.

The reason for the extra time for AR and AK series guns is that in August, the Attorney General interpreted the original wording of RR89 to mean that AR-15 "Series" meant all AR "type" guns, including sporters, HBAR's, Bushmasters, etc. The AR's and AK's were then taken out of the "jurisdiction" of SB-23 and required to be registered under RR89 They wanted to allow, or had to allow six months to register (especially guns like the Saiga, which were legal to buy on the 16th of August) so you have 'till Jan 23rd.

(Your gun is AR series by CA standards--If it is an AR or AK-type action than it IS an AR or AK by CA's new rules as of August 17, 2000. That's when we had to pull our Saiga's off the shelf because they are considered "AK" type actions)

I think the number for DOJ forms is 1-877-reg-a-gun, but we ran out of forms and flyers months ago, so I am not sure. It might be 1-800-reg-a-gun.

I am pretty positive about this, as we have the DOJ printout right on the counter, and I've fielded more calls over the last two weeks than I care to remember.

P.S.--Removing your pistol grip won't help, as the new provisions for AR's and AK's go by action type, not teh criteria of SB-23. You even have to register a stripped lower. (And if you bought one after Aug 17th, you are illegal.

Gotta love california. I say again--I can't wait to evacuate to Arizona. And for all you Arizonians--I promise I'll be a good patriot. I'm gonna buy an AR as soon as I can!
