Sharp as a Marble - Where there’s a will, there’s a way

The Firearm Blog has a link to an innovative AR accessory to ‘get around’ California’s asinine laws

The FRS-15 is a nifty looking AR-15 stock designed for the California market. In California you can use pre-ban full capacity magazines, with a standard magazine release, in semi-automatic rifles which do not have a pistol grip, adjustable stock or flash suppressor. The FRS-15 does not have a pistol grip (as defined by the State of California) and is not adjustable.

Ugly as sin, but I'm a KRISS fan, so I don’t have a lot of room to talk.

However, the point I want to make is that items like pistol grips and adjustable stocks have nothing to do with how a gun is used. Ray Ray isn't going to give a rats ass about adjustable stocks, nor will he decide to not kill George Washington Mercury Lincoln Continental Jr. the Third simply because there is a lack of a pistol grip.

Even then, there's a way around it all. The bullet still comes out of the barrel at the same speed, carrying the same amount of energy, at the same rate of fire regardless of the furniture available. But as we all know, it has nothing to do with lowering crime, it has everything to do with making gun ownership so fraught with peril that people simply give up. Lord knows, this is why I do not own a suppressor.

Interesting...with that grip angle, it looks like you could shoot it from the hip pretty comfortably.

You know, if you don't care about hitting anything and just want a bullet-hose that will endanger anything in the direction you're "aiming" it...

I'm sure it will fly under the Kalifornia legal radar right up to the point a rifle with this configuration gets featured as a murder weapon on one of the forensic shows on TV.

You know, I actually like how that configuration looks. I wonder when it's going to show up in some sci-fi production?

Woah. That things way scarier-looking than my fully-CA-illegal AR. I dig it.

For what someone has to put up with to shoot a Semi in Kali, I still think those who choose to live there would have their money better spent on buying some Lever Guns and practice.

Form 4 transfers are really not that hard. You can probably talk David Goldman into cutting you a deal on a trust too to cut out all the fingerprints and CLEO signoff stuff too.

It's more than that. It's the fact that if I don't set the trust up *just* right, or I don't realize the door to door salesman who ignored the "No Soliciting" sign happens to be a felon and just being in my yard somehow can be construed at constructive possession, or my combination for my safe doesn't contain both upper case and lower case numbers that it's considered 'easy access for children' etc. etc. etc.

All it takes is forgetting to cross an i and dot a t and somehow I'm now a felon over a clerical error, and that's not worth it.

Toss in hundreds of $ for what should be a $25 part and I have no desire to put on the dog and pony show.

That's so fugly, it's actually appealing.

And yes, it is a better ergonomic layout for Ice-Dog to spray from the hip than an EEEEEEEVULLLLL pistol grip. . .

Bet it bump-fires nicely, too. {chuckle}

Actually it's not to "get around" the gun laws in my beloved Clownifornia. It's to "fully comply with the letter of the law, and to flip the bird at the fascist 'tards in the CA Legislature".

Regardless of the laws and how we comply with them, it's always healthy to show some disrespect to our legislative representatives, if only to remind them that they aren't divine.

Correction - it isn't to skirt the law, it is to comply, and in doing so proving the folly of said laws.

That is actually attractive in a sci-fi combat sort of way. If I lived in Cali, I'd go for it.

That's pretty freaking neat, actually. Only thing I'd change is to add something that ties into the buffer tube, for a bit of extra support and to give it a bit of a Dragunov look..
