Arthur,
This is right off of the CALNRA site at
http://calnra.org I tend to think that they know what they are talking about.
Here's our list of SB-23 busters.
We said early on that we'll begin to see suppliers that produce stocks that replace thumbhole and pistol grip stocks found on AR, AK, FAL, HK and other series of rifles that fall under SB-23. SB-23 basically bans the sale and requires registration of firearms that have certain characteristics. We said it wouldn't take long for manufacturers or some smart entrepreneurs to come up with alternatives to make firearms comply with SB-23.
In essence, if you modify the rifle by eliminating the offending characteristics IT WILL NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION! Your objective is to modify your firearm by either removing the offending piece and storing it separately from your receiver or replace the components so they comply with the law. Our job as gun owners is to tweak the nose of our legislature. It is our job to tell them to take the next step. It is our job to register as few firearms as possible...LEGALLY!
The following list are suppliers who manufacture components that legally get around SB-23. However, it is your job to make sure these components comply with the letter of the law. Not ours! If in doubt, find another supplier or contact an attorney.
If you know of suppliers who claim to support the new California Assault Weapon ban, let us know who they are and we will post a link to their site.
Here's what we have so far.
GunCompliantStocks TM We've seen these folk's product on an AK and AR series rifle. It eliminates the pistol grip on the AR series and the thumb hole stock on the AK series with a thumb rest design. It makes the product a non-assault weapon and therefore no registration is required. Additionally, dealers who are stuck with inventory effective 1 January, 2000 can modify their stock to comply with the new law. They offer components for the FAL series with HK, VEPR, M-96 Expeditionary and Barret .50BMG coming soon.
