What were yo-hos like these doing in possession of a military-style assault weapon? Beats the hell out of me. Marijuana, okay, large quantities of it. But the artillery? Real smarty-pants, too, from the narrative: just sitting there in a parked car, like doop-dee-doo…

That’s not a military style assault rifle. That’s a pieced together tweeker AR. Why they have shotgun shells is a mystery….nice face pick marks. At least they can get a thanksgiving dinner at the humboldt Hilton. Nice job LE

Its not military type, look closer, its a 12 gauge shotgun, in the style of an ar-15. Completely civilian firearm..

Dude, really. Look at the upper and the magazine. That’s an. AR with a bull barrel. 556×45. I mean maybe u could be right but why the possession of a high cap magazine. Those style ar mags for shotguns hold less than 10 rounds?

If it was a twelve gauge AR how do you explain a fluted barrel of smaller diameter as the shell itself? Einsteinia! You as the other guy no clue!

When people have no fear of consequences because those consequences are meaningless, this behavior will never end. Laws have to be specific, strict and followed through by courts and judges. Other than a 6 month sentence suspended and 5 years probation, people need to put in jail/prison for years; and know that will happen. Won’t stop everyone, but definitely would have an impact.

Did some looking around.

Gun looks like a variant of the ‘AR-12’. Auto shotgun.
If so… that is a nasty weapon to be on the ‘wrong end’ of.

The shotgun shells are not compatible with this rifle. Looks like a nice Target Model, AR-15 in .223. Bet it was stolen, and a grip added. California just eliminated the gun crime enhancement of 10 years, so he will probably walk. Otherwise, he was looking at 10 years. Good find by the deputies!

Dunno. That’s what I thought at first… but… I did a lot of searching on the web… was surprised at the auto shotguns out there.

But it might be a modified paintball gun too.
The appendage at the bottom of the grip.
Thing underneath the barrel… That maybe an attachment for the cylinder.

Google ‘paintball guns assault rifles’.
See what happens in court.

Google ‘AR-12 Shotguns’ and ‘Paintball guns Assault’ and look at the images.

12 gauge ar requires a ar10 lower which that is not. Simple explanation, hole too small… bullets too big…

The lower receiver is too small to be a shotgun and the protrusion on the forend is just a sling swivel. It’s just a standard tweaked out AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle, no more dangerous than any other rifle that shoots a 223/5.56 round. Which by the way is a very small caliber compared to most other rifles.

I moved here in ’86 part of the second generation, one rule we abided by was no guns. Mixing guns in with pot could get you sent to prison. That rule seems to be completely gone these days. We also left out pills and powders.

2nd gen? Um folks been living here since before white people and Spanish people and growers. I’m tired of hearing growers and grower families or anyone claim clought because of how long they or they family have been somewhere. This is def one of the strangest local pride cultures in the country. So feel good about being a “2nd” ,gen what? Rapist? Spaniard? Grower? Either was we are all children if immigrants to this part of the world from another part. Even most native Americans are diluted with euro blood.

They call the ar15 an assault rifle because it’s used by good people to stop the bad people. Even Joe Biden admitted this in so many words.
While I agree that they, of all people, probably shouldn’t have a weapon, I don’t agree that MY reasons outweigh their own. They have just as much of a right to defend themselves from psycho’s as the person who is not yet thrown in the slammer for not paying the fine for jay walking.

No victim means there was no crime.

The biggest crime here, is the voters who value their own life, but who do not value the lives of others.

Nope, its because over the years Voters have voted to reduce punishment and sentences for crimes to the point where criminals have almost more rights than law-abiding citizens. Just this year they have passed new laws to punish law-abiding citizens that have owned rifles for years but on the same hand have reduced sentences for gun related crimes…

[edit] The gun is a ar-15, conversion upper for a 12 guage, they are using the wrong ammo, you need ras12 shells. Any of you [edit] can walk into darrens, or “browns” in garberville and have you order all of these peices and attatchments for your rifles.felons can legally buy the .357 bulldog air rifle, that’s strong enough to take out a deer.

Found the best answer on another board…

“————-
It’s an AR-15/Modern Sporting Rifle variant using largely DPMS upper parts, probably a complete DPMS Panther model of some sort. Stainless fluted bull barrel (probably from a Wilson blank), no muzzle device. DPMS bull bbl gas block. DPMS Hot Rod free floating handguard, with handstop. DPMS Lo Pro receiver (no forward assist, deflector, or door). That heinous grip is missing the bottom PSG style base. I think the adjustable competition stock is known as an Ironstone, offered by DPMS in the mid 1990s to early 2000s, which is when I date this gun. This was before Randy Luth sold DPMS to Freedom Group.
————– ”

Other site… posted photos of the components… which were the same as the sheriff’s post.
Very interesting gun.
