Bit of a background my friend owned this rifle for at least 20years and I was the one who sighted it in when he bought it new very happy that he agreed to sell it to me. now my question will I have a problem with california compliant laws rifle is l96a1 non folder called Riflegear and they said they can accept it any thoughts before I start rhe process of getting an ffl in his state to send it to an ffl here
 
First: confirm it is not listed by name in the original AWB. If not listed, then you have 2 options and all must be done before he ships it to your FFL:

1. Install a maglock or other fixed magazine solution (compmag).
2. Convert to featureless by installing a fin grip, replace the birdcage with a comp or thread protector.
 
As long as its not a listed by name sb23 rifle and its been neutered before being shipped to ffl in ca.

I moved out of ca but had an armalite that was listed in sb23 so i had to register it then,But whats stupid is i could put that armalite upper on one of my aero lowers then i can sell to someone in ca by just taking the flash hider off and add a fin grip or just mag lock it.Somehow the armalite lower is more dangerous LOL wonder what they would think of my colt sporter 2.
 
it's a bolt action accuracy international artic warfare in .308
 
If it's a real L96A1 that is a rare rifle he is selling you! You guys should have a discussion on what the "agreed price" is since you'll be paying the 11% tax on it when you transfer.. just a heads up.

I think what he said was that his friend was selling him the rifle for $100.
There will be $11 tax due on that transfer.
