I placed an order with them for some high capacity mags, to be shipped to a friend in Washington. In their catalog it clearly states that these magazines cannot be shipped to California, which is where I live. SG has a "gift feature" when you order from them, so you can ship a present to a friend. I've used it before to send things to friends for Christmas, etc. The person I wanted them to shipped to lives in Washington where they are perfectly legal.
This is the second time something stupid like this has happened. I wanted to order a peep sight for my Enfield. Nothing illegal about having it shipped to California according to their catalog. They denied it because it was a "restricted item". I understand about liability, etc. but if they are not going to let me purchase the magazines the stupid catalog should say that California residents will not be allowed to purchase them.
So after this long boring story, does anyone know if Midway or Brownells will let me buy high cap mags and ship to Washington. If I have to send the money to his wife there is a good chance he is going to end up FAL mags or BAR mags as he will with some Glock mags. My last option is to wait till I go to visit him in a few months and buy them myself but generally I like to give birthday presents BEFORE the birthday.
Ok, off my soap box now.
