    I still don't know why Colts hold value better, because I've never seen any proof that they are better machined that LMT or any of the high-end stuff.

    Are Colt's still made with the non-milspec take down pins and other pieces??

      People like colts because then it makes them feel that much closer to having a true govt gun. Only thing it comes down to.

        I full well realize that, and am not wanting a colt due to superior manufacturing or specs. There are definitely better rifles out there, but when it comes time to sell, a colt will have a better resale and customer base than a custom built rifle.

        Realistically, I don't see myself selling whatever I get, but I also don't wan't to toss extra cash away.

        I've got a line on a rifle in north TX, and if that doesn't work out in terms of importation, I'll just buy one locally, and deal with the wait period. As much as chicks dig bad boys, I have no desire to have a felony on my record.

            They haven't been made with oversized pins for 40 years.

              You cannot take a pre-ban lower into the state, but the lowers that aren't allowed are very plainly listed. Any lower that is not on that list can be brought into the state in a compliant configuration.

              California Assault Weapons

              Before you move to California you must make certain that you are not planning to import any firearm which may be considered to be Assault Weapon as defined by California law.
              Importation of an Assault Weapon is a felony which, upon conviction, shall be punished by four, six or eight years in state prison.
              In the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control Act of 1989 (AWCA) the California Legislature defined Assault Weapons by listing specific makes and models. Those named firearms remain Assault Weapons and cannot be lawfully imported into California. Far more firearms were classified as Assault Weapons by certain generic characteristics effective January 1, 2000. To determine if a firearm which you are thinking of importing may be a prohibited Assault Weapon, carefully compare the characteristics of your firearm to the statutory language:
              California Penal Code section 12276.1 Assault weapon, further definition.
              1. Any semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following;
              A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,
              A thumbhole stock,
              A folding or telescoping stock,
              A grenade launcher or flare launcher,
              A flash suppressor,
              A forward pistol grip.
              2. A semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
              3. A semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
              4. A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and and one of the following;
              A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
              A second handgrip.
              A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning his or her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
              The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside the pistol grip.
              5. A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
              6. A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
              A folding or telescoping stock.
              A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
              7. A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
              8. Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
              Further, California Penal Code ยง 12278 specifies that any rife that can fire a .50 BMG cartridge is an Assault Weapon, and therefore such rifles are generally not importable.
              The California Department of Justice offers their Assault Weapons Identification Guide in the Forms and Publications list at http://ag/ca/gov/firearms/forms/ . However, if you have any concerns that some of the firearms you want to bring into California may be classified as Assault Weapons, consult a qualified California attorney before such firearms are transported to the State.

                A non-listed lower or CA compliant rifle built on one isn't an assault weapon
