Since it's my company's product up for discussion, I wonder if a mod can let me in provisionally despite my insufficient post count. Usually what we see in these forums where the subject of CA-legal rifles is brought up and a photo posted are:

1) people who haven't tried it badmouthing how uncomfortable it is (they haven't tried it so they don't really know and I can point them to people who have tried it, everyone who's shot it said it was very comfortable).

2) people saying how ugly it is (not realizing that it's CA's socialist gun-ban laws that restrict cosmetic features that are the true ugliness, and any attempt to get more AR-15 receivers into CA is a good thing and to be applauded, no matter how much we may dislike the appearance of certain products, they make the AR-15 more common and thus harder to completely ban in the future. Besides, every AR-15 built in CA causes another gun-grabbing legislator to wet their pants.)

3) a few CA-residents post pictures of their normal-looking AR-15 saying "see, look you can have a real rifle in CA, you don't need to replace the pistol grip" but they almost always forget to mention that their rifle can only hold 10 rounds and they have to poke it with a pointy tool to drop the mag; they can't use their finger. Some even build special poser mags that look like 30 rounders but really only hold 10 rounds.

4) CA-bashers who will shout MOVE! This may even degenerate into insults, not realizing that conservative gun owners in CA are hopelessly outnumbered by anti-gun liberals, and the only way to rectify the problem will come through the courts, and not realizing that through the calguns foundation, CA is leading the way toward striking these laws and helping prevent their spread to the other states.

I'll PM a mod to see if I can get in.
