[rtr]

Definitely includes firearms and ammo, it also says ?firearms precursor part?, so what does it actually cover?
Magazines?
Optics?
Stocks?
Grips?
Suppressors?

Had to go to the California law to get a definition with authority.

(a) "Firearm precursor part" means any forging, casting, printing, extrusion, machined body or similar article that has reached a stage in manufacture where it may readily be completed, assembled or converted to be used as the frame or receiver of a functional firearm, or that is marketed or sold to the public to become or be used as the frame or receiver of a functional firearm once completed, assembled or converted.
(b) The Department of Justice, consistent with this section, shall provide written guidance and pictorial diagrams demonstrating examples of firearm precursor parts.
(c) Firearm parts that can only be used on antique firearms, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 16170, are not firearm precursor parts.

MAKE A RETURN OR TO REMIT TAX PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE 37, SHALL BE

Magazines?- Yes (I)
Optics?- Maybe (I)- Increase Destructive Capacity
Stocks?- Yes (II)
Grips?- Yes (II)
Suppressors?- Yes (I)- concealability

If a dealer does not charge the tax, it is up to them to take on the government to argue why not.

(I) REASONABLY DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE USED TO INCREASE A FIREARM'S RATE OF FIRE, CONCEALABILITY, MAGAZINE CAPACITY, OR DESTRUCTIVE CAPACITY;

Wish we could use the CA definition.

From the Department of Revenue Website:

https://tax.colorado.gov/firearms-ammunition-faqs

If it is a firearm, connects to a firearm, or used to work on a firearm, it will be taxed.

Looks like Aim Surplus is charging KK tax on gun parts.

[whitewalrus]

This also applies to ammo and reloading components.

MidwayUSA has the tax on their website in checkout broken out into its own category. Didn?t apply when I added a scope and mount to the cart.
