Would I buy a kali key?

Due to a malfunction, I experienced using an AR as a "straight pull" rifle. Frankly, I didn't like it. That said, I would still like a bolt action AR that uses a traditional style "lift pull" bolt.

I know about the Unitah Precision rifle, it is just more than I want to spend for an oddity.
 
I don't see how it would help in California since swapping out a bcg/charging handle for this thing is as simple as dropping in your bcg/charging handle. :scrutiny:

If this is used in California I don't know how this gets anyone around the restrictions.

 
I can see getting this just so you can have it in your possession without California's registration BS and then just hide the real BCG away somewhere, but as for a rifle I was actually going to use? That's gonna be a hard no for me.
 
I live in Kaleepornia and when I moved here from Oregon I followed the law and registered my guns. I also registered the AR-15 lower receiver that I brought with me. I actually did not intend to build an AR with it. I bought it just to have it. I had sold off my other AR-15s.

Anyway, the Bureau of Firearms at the Office of the Attorney General required I send them “a photo of the AR-15 in it’s final configuration”.
I called and spoke with a nice lady that told me that I “must build the rifle then send photos of the configuration for approval and acceptance of the rifle.”
It’s almost hilarious. I was not planning to build one, so, at the insistence of the OAG’s BOF I built a “Featureless AR-15”. No funky “Kali-Key” or any other mechanisms. It just doesn’t have evil parts, like; a pistol grip, a bayonet lug, flash suppressor (though muzzle brakes are allowed), a forend grip or an evil “bullet button”.
It operates just like any other AR-15. I have a normal mag release that allows me to swap mags just like the AR-15 was designed to do. It just looks really odd so I Cerakoted it to make it look like a “ray gun” and now it’s not black so I removed the “scariness”. :D

Believe it or not, that Thordson stock is very nice when shooting the carbine. I did add some Magpul sights to it and I may add an Odin Works “Atlas” compensator to it.

Now, I said all that to say the Kali Key is just another invention that tries to get around the wording of the law in California so folks can have all those “evil” features on their AR based long guns. I opted to go the route I did because it made sense for me.
 
No - if for some reason a really strict AWB passed and I couldn't own any semi-autos I'd rather have something designed from the ground up to be a quick-handling manually operated gun than a hack to make something look like an AR-15.

And that would almost certainly be a pump or lever action.
 
Those California guns are just sickening. I actually saw a single shot bolt action Glock. Makes more sense to just pack up and move to America.
 
Anyone who showed up on my range with that monstrosity of a firearm would be banned for life.
