    Good news! M1 Carbines dodged the bullet.

    Information only for M1icon Carbine owners in California. I don't want this to turn into a political firestorm so Mods plese lock thread, but leave up for information.

    Gov Brown sign a bill making almost all centerfire semi-autos as registerable Assault Weapons effective 1-1-2017. The M1 Carbine (and Mini-14) ARE NOT included because they have no "evil" features.


    All magazine of any type greater than 10 rounds, however, have to be turned in, except for active and retired LEOs. If you have a carbine in California, pick up some 10 rounders.

    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 ...

    Where they'll likely be destroyed, right? Dumb question probably but will you be compensated for them in any way when you turn them in? I'd rather sell mine to someone in a friendly state or is this not an option? If not I'd put the hammer to them myself before I turned them in, at least this route would deny the anti-gun bunch the pleasure of doing it themselves.
