It's part of a gun. The only part that is not normally legally obtainable in California. In about 15 minutes with other parts which you can legally buy in California it can turn into this:
In June 2001, the California Supreme Court handed down its decision in Harrott v. County of Kings (25 P.3d 649 (Cal. 2001) - and commonly called Harrott v. Kings County). This decision clarified and superceded key elements of both the prior Kasler decision and the Roberti-Roos AWCA law, as they pertain to AR15 and AK “series” weapons.
Specifically, Harrott determined that:
Determination of “series” membership is difficult enough that owners and law enforcement should merely have to consult a list of specific makes and models (in California Code of Regulation) to know if their gun is a banned assault weapon: --
Unfortunately, these weapons could still no longer be imported due to meeting restrictions put forth by the feature based ban in 1999 that would still qualify them as an assault weapon.
The stripped reciever pictured above containes none of these "features". It has no features at all. So now, the department of justice is scrambling to add these manufacturers to the list, to stop people from buying stripped recievers like I have. Because they can easily be built into an assault weapon.
This loophole was discovered about 3 weeks ago. The DoJ claims they will close it by March 1st. Once they add these manufacturers to the list, they legally become an assault weapon. Under California law, once they are identified as an assualt weapon, those in posession have 90 days to register it as such. Once registered, they cannot be sold, lent, or transfered. They're yours until you die. Oh, and since it's a legally registered assault weapon, you can build it out any way you like.
Also, there are still some ranges in the bay area where you can fire it off on full auto aren't there? (I remember that there were a few- specifically so that the few people who had legal ones could still have some fun)
