What will you buy before 11% comes?

Eric from Cordelia says he is basing it on the date of transaction. If the state does charge him and he comes back changing his answer, that might be an issue, but I can't imagine he will go back on his word. The industry is based on relationships. It makes me wonder though, I ordered a custom over under shotgun from a Texas shop, which I paid for already, but new guns transferred into CA are not being purchased by California gun shops so I wonder how that would pan out?

I'm tired of all this legislation without clarity or transparency. It should be law of all lands that it must show us where these tax dollars go and how it's making a difference. They got this passsd being it's a "gun violence prevention tax." Hot words. Real solution is tackle mental health. Why isn't there a clause to say something like in 5 years, if the data doesn't show gun violence went down, then the tax goes away? Nope. That would make too much sense and be too logically fair. Parties would have to raise millions to go back to the courts to reverse something that doesn't work. Legislation is a business and just another money grab to fund the govt fight against it's own people. Off my soapbox now, hah

Yeah the scar is a tried and true platform. It's a pound lighter because it has more plastic parts but that doesn't mean less reliability. Plastics have come a very long way. The spear It's sort of a novel mechanism so it would be smart to wait to see how it plays out in the field. I personally wouldn't want one unless it's in that new fury round but just as aforementioned, would be responsible to wait and see real world results.

My rule of thumb when buying any regulated firearms in CA is that it must be easily reversible if I move out of state. The scar falls into that category and if the barrel extension is a nuisance, betting by that time, a couple thousand rounds would be through that barrel and it has to replaced anyways

Thanks for the detailed reply, agree with everything lol and the sentiment is shared with many from what I've been recently reading.

Yes the scar just stands out to me as a gun that looks amazing with a few modifications and it's one of very few rifles I'd own in FDE. My next 556 will be in black/gray but I have a desire to own a rifle/pistol combo in FDE and the 17 is the way to go for it. Good news is that the CA compliant version will come with the stock grip as well and as long as you keep it featureless it's a great gun to take out of CA.

Anyways I'm responding to give an update, Cordelia posted on instagram that the scars that were 4-6 weeks out is already at the store and it was the perfect time for me to ask about the tax, I asked if they had clarity on the taxes after the webinar and should I expect anything to change since I'm already paid off, they responded with "you're good".
