newbie guy from central cali.

[philthy209]

hey everyone. i'm new to this forum usually on ar15.com but everyone has less limitations with there setups there so i'll give this forum a shot as we all have to deal with the same ultra restrictive California crap.

my question is what is a bullet button for the ar15? is it really legal? i think it is a magazine release button that requires a bullet to press the button thus constuting a tool thus being legal in cali. am i wrong? anyone run these.

thanks for the time and hope my first question doesn't have you guys rolling your eyes.

Welcome aboard.

The BB is a device to lock a magazine in the receiver but allows to remove the magazine with a tool (such as bullet tip). Just run some search and you will get tons of info.

[philthy209]

is anyone using this? how do you like it? any vendors you can suggest? price?

Cold War Shooters and Ten Percent Firearms carry them ~$20. I don't have one but have used them, very nice for dropping mags. Can only be used with 10 rounders though.

Welcome to the forum

If you travel to free states, you may also want to look into the Prince50 kit. You're forced to load from the top while it's attached in CA, but with a few turns of an allen key, it works just like any other mag release button (just don't do that in California or your rifle is then converted to a baby-killing mag-loaded high capacity .50BMG assault sniping carbine).

If you have any standard-cap mags laying around from before the ban, you may also be interested in the MonsterMan grip or the U-15 stock. No evil features + free to use "detachable" magazines of any capacity.

You can run a search for the bullet button or any of the products I just mentioned on this forum. We've had a few threads outlining exactly how they're legal and what setups to use them in.

I have , aHEM, REGistered AW... and old Valmet 223... with a 15 and 2 30rd mags from before the ban. I've always thought that I could use those 3 mags because of their age and the registration of the weapon. Your note on the MM made me wonder. I'm cool with what I have, right?

i live in central california (209)

my lower reciever already has a mag perminately atached so thats gonna be a pain to deal if i do this but even if you were not running a pistol grip you still can only have a ten round clip right?

No evil featuers (such as a pistol grip) = 10 rounders, 30 rounders, whatever you want.

Sorry, gotta do it...

If you want to use a "large capacity magazine", you can NOT have a pistol grip, collapsible stock or flash suppressor.
Combining the hicap mag with any of those features creates an "assault weapon"

If you want to use hicap mags, you will need to do a featureless build.
Monsterman Grip or U15 stock are the easiest ways to acomplish this.

does anyone read the FAQ anymore?

Yes, the BB is legal as you need a tool to remove the magazine.

With evil features you cannot have hi cap mags fixed in there.

Does anyone use the bullet button? Check the .223 pics section. Everyone and their mother has one.

Not just anymore.
They never do right from the start...
