Arsenal Abandons California AK Owners

ARESENAL INC HALTS PRODUCTION OF POPULAR RIFLE

In a move announced on October 10th, renowned AK47 maker Arsenal Inc. announced it would stop manufacturing it’s two AK47 variants that were labeled “California Compliant”. The SAM7SF-84C and the SAM7UF-87C, were the subject of many fear based attacks by California anti gunners, that coupled with the changing California gun laws set to go into law in three months forced Arsenal to essentially abandon sales to California. Many industry experts say this isn’t the first or last gun manufacturer to stop sales or weapons to anyone in the state. The future for legal gun owners in The Golden State has never looked so murky and uncertain. As of the writing of this article Arsenal Inc. has said they will continue to support warranty claims on existing rifles that are in the hands of Californians, the problem might be if a now legally owned weapon gets sent in for warranty work or repairs will it be legally allowed to be shipped back to the owner if they still reside in California ?

Stay tuned as work to find out more from Arsenal on this topic, It’s anyone’s guess who will be the next company to stop sales of all firearms to California, Colt ? Sig Sauer , Glock ? If you are a gun owner or Federal Firearms Licensee in the State of California and have some any information that you can pass along, feel free to drop us a line in the comment section below. The more real factual information we can get out to the masses, the better off we will be as gun owners. The changing tactics of anti gunners is something that effects us all, no matter if you are a hunter or a sport shooter. United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
