You cannot bring new high-caps into the state, or buy or borrow them from someone in the state who already owns them.



Is the operator any harder to strip than your other 1911's? The only thing that really bugs me about my Springfield is the two-piece guide rod that requires an allen head wrench to remove :mad
 
Of course if you dig up the 30 rd mags you left in your garage pre-2000, its perfectly legal to own those. However they wouldn't be much good for your fixed mag non-assault rifle, as its capacity must be 10 rd or less.

OK, I'm starting to get a little (OK, a lot) curious about rifle/shotgun matches.

I have the shotgun out of the way, but have no idea where to look with regards to rifles.

It seems the M4/AR is the platform of choice. What caliber? .22, .223, .308? If some good advice comes of this, I'd like to spend ~$1000 for the rifle (not including optics).

I understand I wouldn't be jumping into these matches (or 3 gun) with instant success, but would like to know what I should be looking for.
 
3 gun match rifles can cover a wide variety. Generally any rifle above .223 caliber (although lighter is possible, depends on the organizing body), no limit on actions, although single shot actions might be a disadvantage. Ranges out to 300 yrds or more is possible.
The M4/AR option in California is a no-go unless you already own one, as the AR platform is banned in California. You can get a M1A for ~1000 but it might be tough.
There are some web sites with info, http://www.uspsa.org/ for one.
Dont know that there is a specific organizing body for 3 gun yet, seems to be spin offs of IPSC, IDPA, USPSA, etc

I hope to get involved some this year too, and am fortunate that I have all the rifle bases covered already.
 
Yeah, I guess I meant M4orgerys and the like.

Thanks for the link, Bill, I'll check it out. Oh yeah, lucky you for having everything in place!
 
I think you can still get new M1 Garands from Springfield for about $700. I don't know how accurate they are, but shit, I'd love to have a Garand. It's like the most gangster battle rifle of WWII.
 
Hmmm, I think I was looking at those a while back and they were over $1K
 
get a m1a, thats what i want, cool, strong, clip fed.

the operator is a bitch because you have to get a tool to stick in the guidrod to keep pressure on the spring to remove it. that sucks so much.compared to barrel bushing.. also the slide stop is soooooooooo hard to put back in. but maybe because its new and needs to be broken in.
ALSO, that gun REALLY REALLY needs a dehorning big time. that gun is ALL sharp edges hahaha, its cool i guess and ill get used to it, i dontlike the target sights because its like trying to rack the slide with a bunch of razor blades in your hand. its just different. ill just get new fixed sights when i figure out what kind of cut it is , i think its "novak" or something like that. the checkered front strap is hard, its feels liek 20lpi. cool for gloves, not cool for girly hands like mine hahaha,. but ill adjust to it

comparing the kimber to the SA, the SA has MUCH tighter tolerances. the slide to frame fit is so freaking tight that it pushes out all the oil when you put it together. the kimber is looser by far. but then again im comparing the base model kimber to one of the top model SA's but i figure the machining tolerances for both companies to be the same in all their models.

Clip and magazine fed :thumbup

Although, you have to replace the clip-feeder block if you want to install the standard Springfield scope mount.

Anti-gun activist arrested after firearm found at home


By JASON PISCIA
STAFF WRITER

A Springfield woman who began lobbying against gun violence after her son was shot to death in 2002 was arrested last week when police allegedly found an illegal gun and drugs in her home.

Annette "Flirty" Stevens, however, said Monday she's innocent, and the arrest is an attempt by police to get her to give up information about unsolved crime in the city.

The handgun, which had a scratched-off serial number, and drugs allegedly were discovered Friday morning inside Stevens' home in the 2500 block of South 15th Street. Authorities said they obtained a search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation of a recent series of drive-by shootings. No one has been hurt in the gunplay.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives assisted in the search.

Although police declined to get into specifics, Stevens has a "close connection" with one of two feuding groups involved in the shootings, Lt. Rickey Davis said Monday.

Stevens, 47, who is free on bond, admitted she does know some of the people allegedly involved in the drive-by shootings. But she said she only knows them because her interest in stopping gun violence - sparked by the shooting death of her son Jericko Clark, 20, on July 13, 2002 - has her in the neighborhoods talking to the youths.

She said the police wrongly believe she is the ringleader of the shootings, and they think she has information to solve those cases, as well as others, including the December murder of Andre Ayers, 22, who was shot as a procession of cars wound through the city's east side.

"This is a blatant attempt to try and undermine me," she said Monday night. "... They can't solve these crimes, and I'm familiar with these individuals, so they're going after me because I socialize with all of them."

Davis said detectives working on the drive-by cases - which already have resulted in four arrests - began taking a closer look at Stevens after her name came up in interviews with witnesses and informants.

"Basically, she has a close connection with individuals that have been involved in one side of these two groups that are feuding," Davis said, declining to elaborate.

After finding the handgun and drugs, police arrested Stevens at her job.

Stevens said she believes the search warrant was obtained illegally. She said no drugs were found in her home. And as for the gun, she admits to having it in the house. But she said it belonged to her son. She didn't find it until six or seven months after he died. Not knowing what to do with it, she wrapped it up, put it in a drawer and forgot about it.

Contacted later, Davis said he had no comment on Stevens' statements.

Since her son's death, Stevens has become involved in the anti-gun-violence movement. She helped establish and is president of a Springfield chapter of the Million Mom March, an organization that aims to prevent gun violence.

Last fall, she appeared with other anti-gun advocates at a Statehouse news conference to urge federal officials to renew a ban against semiautomatic assault weapons.

Jonathan Lackland, Midwest regional director of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the march's partner organization, said he was shocked to hear about Stevens' arrest.

He wished to withhold comment on the case until he learned more about it, but he did say he knew Stevens was dedicated to the cause.

"I know Miss Stevens, and I know her character," Lackland said. "I know after the death of her son, it really prompted her to jump full force into activism in terms of gun-violence prevention.

"She has been a staunch supporter of gun-violence-prevention measures," Lackland added. "She has lived by (the theme of) 'I don't want anyone to go through the pain and misery I have gone through. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.'"

Stevens has not been formally connected to any crime directly related to the drive-by shootings. But Friday's discoveries could lead to her being charged with defacing the identification marks on a handgun, manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance and having no valid firearm owner's ID card, police said.
