Does anyone know where I might be able to find a Kalifornia-legal Fab10 receiver?  I've seen them at CMMG, but does anyone know of any other online retailers that sell them?  There's nothing wrong with CMMG, but I like to do lots of shopping before I buy.  I'd like to make an addition to my AR family, but my choices are rather...limited.  I don't understand how a crippled, stripped-down version of an AR lower receiver can cost twice as much as the real thing.  It sucks to live in CA sometimes, doesn't it?

Your best bet is to find someone locally who sells them.  Most people in California charge a rather hefty FFL fee which negates any savings you might find from a retailer out of state.  Where do you live in California?

As for the price.. when you're the only outfit making something you can charge whatever you want for it. :(

You make a good point.  I live down in Orange County, between LA and San Diego.  I was looking at one shop's website last night, and their FFL fee was $100!  After reading about other shop's $25 FFL fees, I thought $100 was ridiculous.  I guess I'll have to do some legwork to find one.  Thanks for your reply.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Contact ShoeLess Ventures, they can give you a list of people selling them in your area.  You can then call them and see what they are charging.  Most dealers in Kalifornistan are charging between $250-$310 from what I understand.

Thanks wyv3rn.  Not only is this a great resrouce, but it's just one more reason for me to waste time while I'm at work.  Thanks again for your help!
