Good Bolt Rifle and Caliber? Need Schooling.

I went into the shop to do the paperwork since the rifle arrived. Turns out, I do need a birth certificate because I don't have a Real ID. I didn't get a Real ID because I couldn't find my birth certificate when my driver license renewal time came around. They can't accept a certified abstract of birth, so I had to start digging. I spent a couple of hours looking for it, found the original in the stuff my Mother set aside for me before she died. Hope they take one from 1963, sure doesn't look like an official document. If they don't accept the original, I am going to unwind the deal and wait until I move out of state. I'll find out when I go back over there in a few days. This state sure goes out of the way to make things difficult, can't wait to relocate. This will be my last firearm purchase in California.

It was cool looking through all that family history. She saved the receipt for my original driver license application and proof of driver education completion in 1978. Mom was a little bit of a hoarder when it came to paperwork. I have my Grandfather's Ellis Island immigration paperwork, his application to immigrate to the US from Germany, my parent's high school diplomas, all kinds of stuff.

I forget what I needed a birth certificate for, passport perhaps. Yes, the "birth certificate" with the little footprints from the "birth" hospital is, for the most part, a novelty parting gift given to the birth provider. I had to go to the Denver County records and bring, I think, two forms of proof. One of the issues I encountered was the need to also know my mother's maiden name. She had already passed and I didn't suffer her company well when she was with us, so figuring that out was a real puzzle. No online stuff, had to go in person. The real bitch is that I can't find that birth certificate now (which, for the most part, looked like a grocery store receipt) :)).

When my brother and were looking as what little remained after our mother's passing, we stumbled on an old drivers license of hers. As soon as we both saw it, in unison, I said, " Lynne Squeaky Fromme". and my brother said, "Patricia Krenwinkel"...

You can order them on line for San Diego from a 3rd party. Also still need to mail in a notarized affidavit to records. Takes weeks to actually get them.

I mean its not a quick process. But its also one of those that you do before you need it.

Had an issue when when I got a spare - they reprinted it and put the year of the request for my birth year instead of when I was born. All of a sudden I wasn't old enough to drink until it got fixed.
 
The original birth certificate I have is from the county, even has the county embossed seal. It's just very old looking. The receipt for it was in the envelope, $2.00, plus $2.00 for an extra certified copy.
 
Complete, total successful stealth purchase. Then, Ruger sends me a 20% off, THANKS FOR YOUR FIREARM PURCHASE coupon in the mail. It was sitting on my computer keyboard this morning.

It is a nice little well-balanced rifle. I mounted the scope and bore sighted it yesterday. Loaded and with the scope mounted it is still light and easy to quickly shoulder. I bought a Vortex Diamondback Tactical scope for it. It's a first focal plane scope, appears to have very good glass and should be fine for a beginner like me. I was looking at angled foregrips for another rifle and ended up buying this rifle a short, inexpensive muzzle break. I won't shoot it until next month when I'm in Arizona.

Depending on what state might be why.


In/on California you can use 10 round detachable mags if a brake is used in place of a flash hider if certian other features are present or not present.

Didnt notice, bolt action.

My Bad!

If I don't like it, I'll take it off. It was $12.

I have a whole bunch of .224 brakes, you're welcome to try them, and they don't all make them sound louder, the linear type work well. I'm using the APA Gen 3 little bastard, and my AR doesn't have any muzzle jump.

Which is nice if you are trying to see your shots through the scope, the telescopic sight, not the mouth wash :laughing:.

Once you get your residency as a free man in a free state, you should get a can for that thing. It will suppress all the flash and near all the muzzle jump, plus they're fun as hell. Leemeeknow when you're ready, my FFL has good connections.
