FS:Colt AR-15 Pre-Ban R6830 7.62x39
Robert W Current
I am selling a Colt AR-15 Pre-Ban R6830 7.62x39 It wouldn't really make
a bad deer rifle, should be quite a bit more accurate than an SKS.
Well, the guy I was going to sell this too fell through, he lived in
California, and he said he was going to check the laws and get back to
me, and he never did. I can only guess that I can't sell a Pre-Ban
rifle to someone in California.
But then I managed to pay my tuition myself, and selling it seemed less than
urgent, but then the old Blazer blew the tranny when me and my buddy went
out to try out some of my handloads in his new Anaconda, so now I need
cash again.
For Sale:
Colt Sporter Rifle
Model R6830 (that is the 7.62x39 model)
Pre Ban (flash hider).
16" Heavy Barrel.
2 factory 5 round magizines.
Colt black nylon sling.
Original box, and manuals.
Note:
Came from factory with Full Stock, but it is legal to put the collapsable
stock on it because it is a "complete rifle" before the ban.
Plus, I will give:
Collapsable stock (with buffer and spring) and changing wrench.
4 20 round magizines (about the size of 30 round .223 mags).
Excellent condition (finish looks 99%+ to me, and only about 60 rounds ever
fired). I am the original owner, serial number LH007XXX
Asking $895.
Also will consider trades + some cash. For example I wouldn't mind a
used Glock 17 in good shape with 2 17 round mags (worth about $300 from
what I've seen) plus about $600. Or maybe one of those $400 Centrury
Arms FAL's and $500 cash? I guess as long as there is something
interesting involved and enough cash for a rebuilt Chevy transmission...
Or if you live in the area and are a mechanic, do I have a project for you!
I am a private party selling this rifle, so all BATF regulations apply
and a dealer must be involved in the sale to make it all legal. (that
means unless you have a FFL, you need to find someone who does if you
want to buy it).

Kalifornia does not allow a rifle named 'AR-15'.
If it was a Colt Sporter in 7.62, things would have been cool.

It is only illegal to buy in California if it says "Colt" and "AR-15" on it.

The R6830 is stamped "Sporter"
But I believe that found it's way to the California list also, because
they require it be "registered as an Assult Weapon" (which I hear has
about 90% non-complyance, no one is doing it).
But reguardless, I am not going to run the risk. I would rather keep it
and walk to school than sell it and end up in jail. So, I would need to
see it clearly written that it was a legal transaction to sell to someone
in California, because as far as I know that is why I didn't sell it the
first time it was posted.

ok, look, it's pretty darn simple to me. I lived in Arizona, I bought
the rifle. I moved to California in college and the Sheriff of San
Bernardino County said that I needed to register it, made me fill out a
form and took my fingerprints. A few weeks later I got a letter from the
state of California saying it was now a "legal" assult weapon and I was
allowed to keep it on my property and transport it to and from a range.
The letter also stated I could not "transfer" it to another California
resident. I moved to North Dakota for graduate school (only wanted to go
to states as unlike California as possable at the time) and was then told
it was legal to sell to anyone I wish as long as the paperwork complys
with what the BATF requires. Well, I took ONE (1) the state of
California made me register the rifle when I lived there, and one (1) the
best offer I got to buy the rifle came from a guy in California and he
dissapeared after he stated that he was going to "check out the legalitys
completely" before starting the transaction, and to me....
1 + 1 = 2
Where 2 says I can't sell the Rifle to a resident of the state of
California. So, say whatever you want about what you think the law is,
but I will be darned if I sell the rifle to someone in California unless
it is PROVEN to me that the transaction is legal. I just plain don't
believe it can be done, and I am not willing to risk spending 20 years in
jail to find out.
At this point I realize the rifle is legal in SOME states, but I don't
believe I can sell it to just anybody. Good news is that in most cases
the FFL holder must account for the legality of the transaction, not me.
But that doesn't mean I am going to put some guy who is simply trying to
make his 10% or $20 transaction charge in a position that he could end up
in jail over.
I am willing to sell it, and I realize that it is all these stupid laws
that make a $400 rifle into a rare $1200 rifle. But to me, keeping an
honest collecter and myself out of jail comes before trying to pay my
bills.
