    Default Someone Help Me Out Here

    So today I went into Gander Mountain (because Cabelas is just way too packed still) and I noticed they had about 10 AR's on the shelf. They were all different brands. Ruger, Sig, Smith and Wesson, Bushmaster, and a couple others. Only one had a flash hider. All of the other ones had no flash hider, such as the rifles that were sold during the 1994 ban. I asked about the flash hider situation to the guy behind the counter and he literally had no answer. Why am I seeing more of these rifles with no flash hider? My theory was that they are the "California Safe" ones and Gander was just ordering those for Colorado stores. Anyone know about this?

    CA compliant with out bullet button. They ship in like that for the 10 rd mag. Unfortunately CO is on a lot of vendor's no longer sell , list. The ban comp guns come with 10 rd mags, easier than pulling the 30 and swap for 10.

    No, Cabelas is not too packed. Went there today.

    Way too many stupid questions being asked. People, do your homework!

    My guess is that the safer they look the better they sell. At least in the corporate eyes.

    Sorry to offend you with my stupid question. Why even have a forum? Someone is bound to ask a question that someone else finds stupid!

    Wouldn't asking questions be apart of homework and the gaining of knowledge?

    There's a gent in the springs with some distributors that orders ARs without the standard capacity mag. Lemme know if you want details. He also does private party for pretty cheap.

    I think he meant that while the Cabelas he went to was not that packed, many of the people there were asking stupid questions about guns.

    Thanks for the info. I was personally looking for information on why Gander had numerous ARs without flash hiders and if this was going to be common practice for them

    That's how I took it. But it could go both ways.

    Well if that's the case then I feel like a dick. However, I thought he was saying my question was stupid
