392heminut Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a gunsmith friend that can cut the threaded portion off the barrel and recrown it for free, Micro would just have to stick the barrel in a Priority Mail box to me and I would do the same back to him. Probably a little over a week start to finish. How long before you ship out USMCbassman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCbassman Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Not until the beginning of next year. EDIT: Sorry such a vague answer, hope you understand. Edited October 19, 2013 by USMCbassman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Let's make sure he can buy it first. I didn't realize he was a Cali resident. We have funny laws about pistols. @USMCbassman I'll call you this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 So, I've been checking up on pistol laws here. It looks like there is a "Sig P220 Combat fde/stainless" allowed for sale here. The issue is the threaded barrel. Fuckstein and her cronies think Snoop Dogg and the rest of his gang are going to buy $1k suppressors and do silent drive by's in South Central L.A. Let's not get ahead of ourselves on this. USMCbassman needs to find out if his FFL can transfer this pistol even without the threaded barrel. If it's possible, the entire pistol must be paid for before we can ask MicroGunner to do any modifications to a perfectly good barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) One sec... what if I get a hold of a non-threaded barrel 220 and we swap barrels....? No point wasting a nice threaded barrel by cutting it down and re-crowning it. ....already know where to pick up the P220 from... :D Edited October 19, 2013 by shibiwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Alright. Maryland sucks. I ain't gonna argue that as far as gun laws go. But California still has us beat hands down. WHAT do we have to do to get this brother a pistol? At this point.....I'm in for well more than the standard donation. Whatever it takes. I'm there! OOH-RAH!! SEMPER FI....................to all my brothers Edited October 19, 2013 by Rsquared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Unless he has another non-threaded barrel he can swap it out withYes I do and that would be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Photos of the two barrels.The non-threaded barrel shows more wear and bears the serial number of it's donor pistol. This serial number does not show when the barrel is installed.I swapped the barrels and they both fit smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 That issue is solved. I'll call USMCbassman today and see if we can get this ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Dumb question, will the serial on the frame red flag that gun as a non CA compliant? Remember, we are stupid here. Even with the "evil" threaded barrel removed....does that serial still cause issue? You guys are awesome. This is very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, if they banned things based on model numbers' default configurations we wouldn't be able to buy AR-15s or SCARs since standard out of the box they come with banned features. If they're modified to be CA-compliant before entering CA though, then they're fine. Edited October 19, 2013 by FaRKle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCbassman Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Where to start...First by saying thank you to each and every one of who was willing to pony up money to help make this happen. The depth of gratitude I have is not explainable and just the mere the thought that each and every one of you were willing to do this is absolutely mind blowing. And not just the money, the way you all were looking out for me, motivation to see this deal happen, etc is even more important than the money. Taking care of a brother is more important than any tangible item. Secondly to Micro for pulling this gun and potentially costing him money - Thank you for going on an unknown, thank you for pulling gun this down and setting aside and thank you for being willing to swap out the barrels to make this happen. I've explored every option I have available to me, not having the cash on hand and without incurring another bill I am not going to be able to make this happen and that's okay. In due time I will get my P220. What really threw a wrench in this was the changing of a tax law last year and being hit with a $1,200 tax bill from the state of Kansas. It's a long story, but the gov't decided my wife was not a resident of CA but KS, taxed her income from last year (which we didn't file a KS return for her income, just mine) and boom! I'd imagine there are a lot of us in the Military who are in that position. imschur - go for it man.... Thanks agains everyone, I hope you all truly understand and will not see me as a flake. I genuinely tried to find a way to make this work. I just can't conciously take on a debt that is not needed (e.g. taking a loan out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Don't worry about it brother. It's totally understandable. The tax man takes precedence over anything else.....mainly because they'll never go away. There's always another pistol out there for you somewhere my man. And I'm sure, if needed, the whole crowd around here will still be willing to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
