[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Flash Hiders

Posted: 3/26/2008 5:17:54 AM EDT

Hello, thanks in advance for your help.

I read in the pinned CA firearms law thread that complete AR 15 uppers are considered as "parts" and thus can be shipped to a resident.

However, If the upper is threaded for, and has attached, an A2 Flash Hider, doesn't such make it illegal to possess under CA law despite being "parts"??

No, an upper is still a part even if it has a flash hider.

Problems may arise if you build a complete weapon that doesn't follow the rules, but individual components other than the lower receiver aren't really restricted if they are loose parts.

The answer however may change when you add a lower receiver to your upper.

There are plenty of registered lowers that can accept any configuration of upper. Once its registered as an assault weapon, it can have all the evil features.

BTW, a threaded barrel is not an evil feature, just a flash hider attached to those threads. If the buyer were to install a muzzle brake, it would be fine to install on an off-list lower.

It would also be fine to install it, with a flash hider, on an off list lower w/ a fixed magazine
