  Sir, You seem to be the resident expert on the m1 garand. I got a Winchester M1 at an estate sale ser # 1499xx, bolt isD 28287-1WRA, OPRod is D 35382WRA, Hammer is D 45008-1WRA, Trigger housing is
  D 28290WRA, rear sight is lockbar type, receiver group is marked D28291-2, the wood is in perfect shape (dark) with a VERY light SA mark on the left side and a P on the bottom. The bbl is SA 6535448
  9 66 BU 34, The trigger guard is unmarked. The receiver group, stock group and trigger group fit together very well. Other than the stock and bbl, can you tell how close to original this is? What else do I need to look for? Could be somone started a restoration and lost interest? Thank you for any information you can provide.

  Thank you for the compliment. I can assure you that EODguy shadows all of my California firearms law posts and is gleeful to point out any mistakes or misquotes that I make on this subject. Other than certian assault type pistols (which are prohibited from import) there are really no banned handguns in this state- although people have been lead to believe this is the case. The handgun safety test mandated by recent legistlation only applies to handguns which are intended for retail sales between dealers and unlicensed individuals. Private party transfers of non compliant handguns are not affected by this regulation at all. Any hangun which is legally posessed may be transfered between individuals whether or not it is on the roster- this would include your Scout. No dealer could sell that pistol to you, but your neighbor could sell it to you through a private party transfer.
  
  As a new resident of our state you have become what is known as a personal handgun importer- sounds pretty impressive! All this means is that you have an unregistered handgun which you wish to own here legally. You are not purchasing this pistol from a California firearms dealer so the handgun safety roster does not apply to any handgun you wish to bring into the state. By law you have 60 days to forward by mail (or in person) to the Department of Justice the form which will register your handgun according to state laws. Forms for this purpose are available from the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, police departments, sheriffs offices, fierarms dealers, or from the DOJ. The fee is (I may be wrong on this) $25 for the first and handgun and $20 for each additional. You have to be at least 18 years old and not be in a prohibited catagory which would prevent you from owning a firearm. There is really not much to this. I hope this answers your question. You can contact the DOJ at 916-227-3703 and ask to have the form sent to you.

  Thanks Mark. you answered the question in much greater detail then I had hoped for. I'll bring the old Scout home and send the form in. Thanks again for the information......I'm going to print it out for future reference. [:)][^]
