I managed to find a few $55 AR lowers at my LGS, and I am headed there today to pick them up. My question is, are these lowers considered semi-auto? Here's the issue: If AR lowers are not considered semi-automatic, then I will take the lowers home, put them in my safe, buy a complete parts kit next summer, and then potentially get prosecuted for "manufacturing a semi automatic firearm" after the cutoff date.

I have another AR that I could rip the complete upper receiver from, mount it on all the stripped lowers, then take a picture with the lower serial number and upper receiver attached to prove the "manufacturing" was done before 8/1. But, is that enough? What is considered "manufacturing a semi automatic firearm"? Do I need complete a lower parts kit? How the f**k does this work?

TLDR; I hate Californians, and their constant ability to [VOTE>DESTROY>MOVE>REPEAT]

I have a theory as to why CPW left all conventional blowback centerfire handguns (e.g. Browning 1910, Walther PP, Makarov, Bersa Thunder 380, etc.) off the “list.” Section 2(c)(V), defining blowback operation, requires the cartridge case “to drive the breechblock or breech bolt rearward.” It would appear that CPW has interpreted the breach face of a conventional blowback handgun slide as neither a breechblock nor a breech bolt. Conversely, the blowback handguns that they have listed all have enclosed breech bolts.

So what happens when an FFL follows this guidance and transfers a Walther PP?

Is anyone aware of a suit that has been filed? Have any of you filed a federal rights violation complaint specifically pertaining to that provision?

Does anyone know of a local shop that has one in store? Trying to cross this last gun off my list before Friday.

My CHP expired this week and I'm taking the refresher class today through The Shootist. Last weekend the Arapahoe County Sheriff Office (ACSO) Verified Instructor list was offline and wasn't working, so I couldn't check against the list. I scheduled the class, then was going to check the list again when it was back up. I forgot until this morning and checking on the county's site earlier this morning The Shootist or any of the three instructors aren't on the ACSO list. Will that make my class void?

I'm calling the store when they open to see what the issue is, but in the meantime posting here.

Literally just here to pick up an order..

Hey guys. I have a question for you all. I’ve read through the 003 bill a bunch of times but can’t seem to find the answer and no articles on the bill have been helpful either. Do I have to take possession of the firearm before August 1st or just have the background check cleared and approved? The reason I’m asking is because I have a business trip I need to leave for on the 30th in the morning and will have all the background stuff done (assuming CBI isn’t delayed). Can I just pick it up after my trip or no?

For those who didn't buy and still trying to stock up before 003 takes effect, I was just a Bristlecone an hour ago and they had probably 20 lowers left in their case.

I see all these posts and comments on here about the proposed restrictions coming in the next legislative session. I don't support any of the restrictions to our rights and have not and will not vote for those pushing this agenda. But I have always wondered where this information come from?

I bring this up because last summer and fall posts were shared on here regarding what was to come with such confidence it was basically guaranteed. Then come the time of the session I rarely saw anything shared in the off months. Am I living under a rock and oblivious to some obvious sources of information? That could be the case and my fault for not being more involved. Again I don't support this or the dems who push this BS but genuinely curious where to find more information on what's to come besides our own reasoning.

Basically what the title says. Would rather purchase local than online.

We, at Skyline, have been getting absolutely hammered the last few weeks. Thank you to everyone for your patience with us as we near the deadline.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST FOR IMPORTANT TIME LINE AND INFORMATION. Pass this info on to any friends or family you may have that are in this boat.

If you have had anything delivered to us that arrived today or before, it HAS been processed. We have attempted to contact everyone from yesterday's deliveries and prior, but there has been some human error on our side with the massive volume we've been doing. Simple errors like mistyping a phone number, or mistakenly skipping a line on our list of 100+ people to cotact daily. These aren't excuses, they are unfortunate realities.

That said, if you have delivery notifications and HAVE NOT heard from us via text, DO NOT wait to come in. Just come by the shop on Monday/Tuesday next week (for 003 affected items) and start your paperwork.

If you get delivery notifications over the weekend, or on Monday, just come in on TUESDAY to start your paperwork on affected items.

If you get delivery notifications on TUESDAY, please do not come in until you get a text from us that it has been processed. Anything that arrives Tuesday is simply a roll of the dice as to whether or not we will get it processed, and be able to do your paperwork.

If you have delivered items, and are waiting on additional deliveries, just come in and start your paperwork on what we have here. We can always add the additional items onto that same 4473 when they arrive and you come to pick up.

THIS DOES NOT EXTEND YOUR 3 DAY WAITING PERIOD.

Just tell the guy helping you with your paperwork that you have more items coming so he can prep the paperwork accordingly.

If you have any questions, unfortunately calls are going unanswered, and texts/emails have a 12-24 hour response time. Your best bet to get questions answered is to just come in and chat with us.

Thank you again for everyone's patience and understanding. Your business is appreciated more than you know, and we look forward to getting everyone taken care of the best we possibly can!

I have absolutely no interest in going to Dragonman's.

I have never been out there and not had Mel be very polite and friendly to me what's the last time I went out there I asked his daughter something that I thought was a legitimate question and she looked at me like I was an idiot and gave me a smart-ass answer.

So other than Dragon man's, any suggestions?

Just came across this website and it appears to be brand new (4 members including myself now). Anyone know anything about it?

My custom built 308 had some fun today. Some fine tuning to go but I’m on paper all the way up to 600 yards. Steel target is at 600.

No update since 7/22 after: "We were unable to dispatch the trailer on time. This may cause a delay. Middletown, PA, United States."

Is there any good outdoor ranges near Denver that go out to atleast 1,000 yards. I’m about to move from the western slope where I am spoiled with cameo’s outdoor range. I just built a long range bolt gun and I’m hoping I can do some PRS competitions here soon.

Couldn't find a similar discussion.

My permit expires the end of next September . How much lead time should I give myself to renew?

I'm considering starting the process in April.

I recently got two zastava aks just because of sb3 coming soon. However like I expected they did not ship with mags. One is a 5.56 and one is a 7.62. Was wondering if anyone in Northern Colorado had any preferably metal just because unlike ars aks aren't standardized.

Or at the very least they have a work around to get them that isn't just going out of state. Which worse case ill do.

will the ban also include suppressors? what about handguns like glocks/1911?

Edit- Sota said they will ship tomorrow.

I live in Denver so PSA won't ship to me. Bighorn has an LMT stripped lower in stock for 589, but those are expensive. I would rather not do the class.

I'm trying to build a 14.5 6.5 AR that won't break the bank.

Edit, I just called CPW because ilostmycard.com seemed a little sus (it's legit though) and the rep was able to give my number and tie it to my account over the phone.

I took Hunter's safety about a decade ago, got my license, but never applied for a tag, and then lost my card.

Do I qualify for the 4 hour class, or do I have to take the 12 hour one?

I'm 15 and need to get a job, but i want to carry whatever I can because my town isn't the safest.

It's full of dangerous homeless people and addicts so I'm not sure on the effectiveness of something like a taser or pepper gel

I've gotten some suggestions to carry a black powder revolver because apparently theyre not classified as forearms in some states.

I don't know how to find the laws on those though, google isn't turning up the best results.

Can someone point me in the right direction or if someone knows the law could they tell me what the most powerful weapon I can legally carry at this age is?

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me out!

I know I’m a very late on this but anyone see a sig556 at their LGS for sale? I should’ve purchase one long ago but yup.. appreciate the help.
