Making My AR California Legal

[goldrush]

This is very confusing.

I have an AR with a RRA two-stage NM lower, full A2 configuration. As I look through the gallery, I see similar rifles with what appears to be the same lower. What do I have to do to my AR to make it Cali-legal?

Is it as simple as slapping a bullet button on it?

State Supreme court ruled in favor of gun owners over this. Around 2004/5 period. It stated that the DOJ could not just blanket ban weapons based on a simple term AK or AR15. The DOJ had to specifically name the manufacturer and model. EX: COLT AR-15, BUSHMASTER XM-15...

This was to take out the question of if it is a banned firearm or not. And had to be registered. This is where you get the term listed.

Now, comes the Off List Lower issue. Same function, same everything. However, the name SPIKES, STAG etc all came after the official list came out.

So, combine an OLL with a bullet button BEFORE you complete assembly of the lower, or the weapon comes into the state through an FFL who has installed the BB on the gun prior to sending it to CA you can purchase it.

At no point can the bullet button be disabled, and at no point can a Hi-Cap magazine be added to the rifle. Even if you already owned the Hi-Cap mag before the Large Cap mag law went into affect. Inserting a Large capacity mag into the weapon WHILE IN CALIFORNIA triggers assualt weapon. Along with disabling the Bullet Button. So dont buy one of those slick BB magnet "tools"

As the other posters have commented if you want more gouge on this you are really going to have to read alot of the laws. The 2nd Amend forum has alot of good gouge on this, and does have docs that you can print out. You can make whatever folder you want to carry with you. The DOJ site is very misleading, and you could call them 5 times and get 5 different answers and none of the answers are the same or correct.

In reality if you are stopped by an officer he/she is not going to pay 1 bit of attention to your "folder of legal writs". I f you push a hot head officer he/she is going to push back. So you basically just shut the hell up, let them rage on, walk out of Jail and call Calguns foundation for legal assistance.

The foundation is still working very hard at trying to educate the state law enforcement community on the finite subject to prevent illegal arrests/detention. And they will help you so long as you followed the rules.

Off List Lower
Bullet Button installed and functional
No, folding/collapseble stocks
No , Hi capacity magazines in the rifle
Rifle barrel at least 16" or longer
Proper storage during transportation to and from ranges
Shooting in legal areas

Found this post in another thread. It's helping.

What is the exact make & model of your AR?

Rock River Arms ARs are on the ban list.
If the side of the reciever says any of the below, then they are make/model banned and can not be imported/possessed in CA. (bullet button maglock will not make it legal)

Standard A-2
Car A2
Standard A-4 Flattop
Car A4 Flattop
NM A2 - DCM Legal
LE Tactical Carbine

If it's listed, it's a no-go for CA.
You can strip all the parts off it and build them on an "off list lower" (AR lower that is not make/model banned) and make that CA legal.

Just get a bullet button and no 30 round mags.... Has to be longer than 36" or around something
like that with the stock fully collapsed... Barrel has to be at least 16" with out with out the flash hider..
and no full auto.

Simple as that.



To the army of thread police.... This is a basic explanation... to make it one way CA legal.. Don't jump on my as* because i didn't explain every single detail or every different possible way to make a CA legal AR.

Oh yea and make sure your lowers not on the ban list.

^ Yup. Make sure it isn't on the list, and from there just make sure you have a bullet-button installed if you have any "evil features".

Thanks. This is starting to make sense. It's a LAR15 lower with a White Oak Precision upper.

Check the ban list and make sure LAR15 isn't on the list. If it's not on the list, all you need is a bullet button and 10 round mag, and it's legal.

you can run 30 round mags BUT the rifle must be "featureless"

And no radio installed. And no sequential red/blue lights operating. And no ability to make smoke signals. No trailer hitch either, that's a real big felony in Zimbabweburg.



Just follow the flow chart, it cannot be easier (top of page, click on "AW & OLL Guides")

The 2nd page of the CA AW ID Flowchart on the "AW & OLL Guides" link in the middle of the page has the listings

Is your lower made by RRA or LAR15? It isn't clear from your two posts.

One RRA model = "Rock River Arms, Inc.: NM A2" is on the appendix B banned list. As such it can't be brought into California.
