I have been looking for a ca legal semi auto for a while and I am getting close to going out and actually buying one. This is what I have come up with so far:
I toted an m16a1 around for a few years, so I feel comfy and somewhat drawn to that design, unfortunatly what passes for an AR in CA is anything but impressive.
Best deal on an AR I have come accross is a Del-ton @ 889 with a flat top & fixed 10 rnd mag
There are detachable mag ARs available you can buy or build, and man does that ever make for some extra strange looking AR stocks!
Ruger mini 14s go for around 750 here, I dont particulary care for the feel of those so thats out
Kel-tec SU-16CA 650. Lifetime warranty, Folds up for easy storage or packing, takes detachable AR Magazines.
That one looks promising
next on my list for serious consideration are the Saiga AK sporters
350 gets one in 223 16 barrel
400 gets one 7.62x39 20'
490 gets you the .308 win model with a 16.
a freind has a 308 and he loves it. More stopping power per shot, but heavier more expensive ammo ( I have a basic reloading setup for 38/357 so maybe i could save by handloading by investing in a set of dies & components. ?? )
Wich is the best choice from these or is there something I'm overlooking?
Yeah the m1a would be great, but thats way over my budget ( 1k or less & the lesser the better )
Thanks in advance for the input
