Has there been any recent rulings regarding grandfathered high caps and featureless rifles I may not be aware of? DOJ's website doesn't reflect any changes I can find...
During a recent trip to the range I had a range officer tell me that using a 20 round mag in my featureless M1A made it an assault weapon and that it needed to be registered.
I informed the R/O that the mags have been owned since 93/94 (8 of them, 3 have been rebuilt/replaced, with old bodies chopped and tossed). His response was that I needed to have receipts to prove that. I called BS as when these were purchased, they were cash and carry. I also stated that burden of proof would fall on prosecution to prove that I did not purchase them back then.
The R/O then stated that due to a rash of recent arrests at the range, the range's policy was not to allow high caps unless it was rimfire. At this point I got tired of arguing and figured I would never return to this range again because of BS rules.
On a side note, a few years back at the same range I had a different R/O tell me that my bullet buttoned AR was an assault weapon (only using 10 rounders) and that I could be arrested. I swore I wouldn't return to the range after that crap, but here I am regretting my return. The range now sells bullet buttons.
I'm thinking this is just a case of misinformation on the R/O's part and he doesn't want to lose his job breaking the owner's rules. He was a nice guy about it at least.
The range is Lytle Creek before it's asked.

Take your money and rifles elsewhere....apparently this range doesn't want your business
