Berretta leaving maryland

[spareparts]

Looks like Berretta is leaving Maryland over new gun restcitions, taking 300 jobs and a bunch of taxs with them. Good to see more companies standing up, add them to Magpul and many others

I just hope they don't leave the country

Berretta is not the only people leaving ,,,, I will be leaving this state in about 3 years when i retire leaving this corrupt state and heading to either Chincoteaque VA.,,,, Selbyville Del. ,,,,or Panama City Fl,,,If any one is thing about relocateing to MD..all I can say is DON'T,, I will miss the upper Chesapeake Bay and the Ravens but that about it

Wow... I didn't realize Berretta was leaving the state. Makes sense given how crazy things are getting here.

I've been bulking up on ammo lately and buying another gun or two with the goal of landing an AR at a reasonable price before they get banned here.

BGA, check out http://palmettostatearmory.com/, you can order the stripped lower and have it sent thru the FFL, then everything else you need to build one is considered "parts"and can be shipped right to your front door. I had $739 in my last build, but that was right before Sandy Hook, you're looking at around $1000 for a bottom $ build now

Spare, thanks for the note. I've been waiting for one of our local dealers to get some in so as to forego the darn transfer fee, but I may just have to bite the bullet, as they say :-(

Every once in a while (recently even) Bass Pro gets them in and they still sell them at the pre Sandy prices, which is awesome.

That said, getting the stripped lower now will at least give me time to save to complete the build, which is a bonus as far as cash flow is concerned at the moment (especially with the boating season at the doorstep...).

I hope all is well with you, buddy. Thanks again.

I have $800 in my post Sandy Hook build. Prices are on the decrease again to. I just got another parts kit for $60. Deals are out there but you have to be quick.

Sorry to hijack this thread guys... So, to stay in line with the OP, yeah MD stinks WRT gun laws. :-)

Just one more question... Curapa, did you find your lower unit at a local gun shop or did you have it shipped and pay an outrageous transfer fee?

I'm stoked that you were able to build yours for $800. That's what my buddy was able to do pre Sandy, but not since...

I ordered the lower and paid a $30 transfer fee. I have $800 in it including sights and other accessories. I could have saved more if I had not been so impatient.

BGA, go to GunsAmerica.com, there should be a flag on there to link to GA friendly dealers in your area, that should get you a FFL that won't gouge you.

Woe! That's crazy. :-) A little beyond my ability... lol

I'm waiting to see the lower made with a router

[Curapa]

You can always "print" one too.

[spareparts]

the printable ones aren't holding up, they're are getting about 20 rounds thur them before they star falling apart. Its not going to be long before they get it figured out. Supposedly, there was a machine shop in Ca that had the program set up in a CNC machine, you had to index your stock in place and press the button to start the program, that qualified as making it yourself and is leagle. They were having 80% parties on teh weekend, you forked over your money, they showed you how, you did the rest

[Curapa]

Yeah, I don't think it will be long before the printed ones are a reliable as the polymer.

I thought about building an 80% lower but it was a cost issue for me. By the time you buy a nice billet 80% lower and the drilling template along with bits you could have bought a few aluminum lowers without the risk of F'ing them up.

Other than the benefits of saying "I milled my own lower" and having a completely legit untraceable AR I just don't see it. If there was a local company offering their CNC for rent I would consider it further.
