    Eventually I see the LEO exemption providing an good 2nd Amendment law suit, as it sets up separate classes of citizens with differing rights.

    well on our way to feudalism.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I absolutely agree. It is BS.

    I thought our firearms laws here in the UKicon were restrictive and ridiculous, but it looks like California has gone one better, some really stupid laws there.

    Who makes these crazy rules up!

    The confiscation law is being fought in court under the grounds of confiscation of private property without compensation and some 2 amend violation. The guy who took over from that porker Kamila Harris is apparently lost in space since the proviso to register bullet button ARs requires a system that they don't have and can't make. It is 7 months late already. The confiscation of the magazine was extended for a full year so they can figure out a way to do it and still be legal. A Bush appointed judge has stayed the process until it is fully litigated. Since the original Assault Weapons registration netted about 3K dopes (like me) out of about a quarter million owners statewide, the state continues its" laws of convenience " felony laws that are used when the feel the need to ruin someone's life for nothing.

    I think that the ex enforcement situation is really stupid since it allows a large group of people to completely ignore existing laws and really do nothing in return except be a "good guy". Taken into the whole "I was afraid for my life" get out of jail free card, it is not really a fair situation for non-cops. It does fit right into the police state plan however.

    I love surprises! I was digging in some boxes of old gun junk and tactical stuff in long term storage in the garage, and found my two well worn, beat up, 40 round AR180/AR15 factory mags from when I had my first Sterling AR180 as an LEO trunk weapon in the 1980s. I had two factory 20s, two Sterling factory 30s, and the two aftermarket 40s. The 40s were "no-names", and did not work reliably. I stuffed them away with some old gear tactical gear from back in the day, figuring two 20s and two 30s were enough. I had totally forgot about them in the ensuing years, as I had pretty much written them off as junk back then.

    I was a bit dismayed, as they had gotten some surface rust pitting on the outsides from being stored for 30 years. First thing I did (after cleaning the rust off nd oiling them up) was to replace the springs with Chrome Silcon replacement springs, and the followers with Magpul Gen IIs. The followers I took out were like early plastic 20 round followers. No wonder they wouldn't feed from a full mag. Anyway, since they also fit AR15s, I'll try them and see if they work any better now. I may just ship them off to my buddy in Nevada to put with the AR180 lower half, or I may just keep them here.

    Here they are in my "Featureless" NDS18S build. They look cooler in the the Costa Mesa, though.
