hitman_usmc Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 As I mentioned before I'm still in Iraq. The only good thing abut this was being able to make a little money for my Dillon 650 (which i bought already) and for a race gun for the USPSA. I now have plenty of money for a race gun and found a great deal on an STI Trubor. Then I got an email from an FFL dealer that said they weren't CA legal. Is this true? If it is, what am I supposed to use for a race gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiledviking Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The STIs are no longer brought in to California. You should look at the Bar Sto BS40. Pretty much an STI, but built in CA and certified in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I guess I'll tell you what no one else wants to... if you live in California and are planning on getting into USPSA shooting, your options are limited by your legislature. Not sure on all the specifics, I'm sure someone else can fill them in better than I, but there are only certain guns you are allowed to have unless they've been grandfathered in. I'll try to find you some links to details. Sorry, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman_usmc Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 That's totally lame. Unless somebody else can give me any better news, i guess i'll just stick to limited 10, IDPA, and throwing rocks at targets instead of Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Texas! One of the Australian shooters called it "land of the Gun". I was at the Steel Challenge Shoot and several local shooters said "it must be nice living in a free state. What is the leagl blade size on a pocket knife?? under 2"??

uscbigdawg Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hey Marine, It's true, you can't get the Trubor. However, here are some options for you. 1) Buy a frame from someone in the state via private party transfer and have it built up. 2) Buy a used complete firearm from someone via private party transfer. 3) Buy a SVI or Bar-Sto pistol and have a second upper built for it. You'll have an Open gun and a Limited gun then. Not too shabby. 4) Have someone buy a Trubor that's moving to California. They then can DROS it into CA and then transfer to via private party transfer. Being a Marine in California, I'm guessing you're based out of Camp Pendleton. If so, Bar-Sto Precision is super close to you (29 Palms) and you have can have a sweet pistol built up for you by a California company from a quality pistol builder. Hope that helps. PM if you have any questions. SPC Richard A. White, Senior Medic 249th MP Detachment (EACF) Camp Humphreys, ROK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamar Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Just to clarify for you, The BarSto pistol is essentially an STI. There are some minor differences but nothing that should stop you from buying a BarSto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moneypenny Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Y our best bet would be search here and USPSA classifieds for "california" frames many times listed in the title of the post, you will pay a little more but still be able to have in CA...

If it is, what am I supposed to use for a race gun? There is more bad news. Basically, magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds are illegal in CA (if you had them before the ban, you can keep them -- but no transfers, importation, sale or building). In so many words, even with an open gun, you will be in Open 10 division (ha ha) unless you commit a felony. Which leaves Limited 10, Production, Revolver, and IDPA. Basically, Open and Limited divisions are slowly dying in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely and unequivocally illegal to in any way transfer posession of a hi-cap magazine from one person to another here in kali. period. If you obtain high-cap tubes and build up magazines, that is also a felony, no exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiledviking Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 This is of course because it it is quite popular to hold up 7-11s with a 29-round .38Super STI here in California!!!

If a Californinan finds one in the trash and keep it they have broken the 'State'law. I didn't know that. A guy on the Calguns forum told me that he actually went to his local Sheriff and asked about selling his Beretta 92 and the "standard cap" (15 round) mags he had. The Sheriff told him he could only sell the gun, not the mags but he could put them in the trash. I did not know "finding" mags was illegal as well. Maybe so. What's even more absurd is who would ever write a law that addressed the issue of whether finding something was illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipscbob Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Basically, Open and Limited divisions are slowly dying in CA. Not accurate at all based on our local matches! Keep in mind that if you had stockpiled a box of hicaps before the ban went into effect, then you can buy parts to maintain them such as tubes, followers, springs, and base pads. You just cant manufacture new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
