Poor Man's Machine gun?

Then why would it be difficult to get an M9 in CA and easy to get an FS92?

Maybe because when a California Law Maker googles M9A1 he got this...

and not this

Maybe.....

an M-16 and an AR-15 are night and day differnt. Most of the time though its just a differnce in paperwork.

The first M-16's to be delivered to DOD went to the Air Force and were actually marked AR-15, but thats neither here nore there.

If it really is harder to get one marked M9 in Cali than 92FS just get the 92. When I bought mine the M9 was actually cheaper. I just thought getting one with M9 on it was cheasy. Like buying a NSW Sig 226.

That's because the AR-15 of 1950-whatever was a COMPLETELY different animal than the AR-15 of today.

I still don't understand CA's hangup on having a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.

Theres a couple hundred AR-15 marked M-16s registered to civilians. I'm lucky enough to know one. The insides of the 1970s-80s M-16A1 and the insides of the earlier model AR marked M-16s are identical other than the slab side. I've handled both. I'm interested to know what you think makes them a completely different animal? Other than the slab side of course.

Look at the no-sh!t original AR-15 when they were designing the M-16 program. It's actually pretty cool to see the differences over the years. It was based on an AR-10 design and had a bit different look to it.

Gotcha. Its funny too that they were originally Armalite and the design was sold to Colt. I bet theres some guys over at Armalite that have been kicking themselves for the last 40 years. What I'd give to have a Stoner...

You can easily get the M9 in California. It is the M9A1 that presents a challenge. The only difference I know of between the two is the light rail. As far as AR15's go, the only way to get a real one in California over a counter top and not out of some thug's trunk that I know of is to purchase the lower reciever, bolt carrier, and upper reciever groups seprately from a supplier that also has a location in another state where AR15's are legal.
