Making AR15 legal

[fwyflyr]

Some of my shooting friends were talking about installing something in the AR lower, that requires a tool. Which would block the magazine opening, and turn it into a 10 round only firearm. Thereby making it California legal. Does anyone know something about this or where they just blowing smoke.

Read the Assault Weapon FAQ (in red at the top of the page). It will answer all of your questions.

In short, your friends are basically right.

Hope this helps.

Depends, if you are talking Colt, Bushmaster AR-15 etc.. that were to be registered in years back, then no this will not make them legal if you did not register them. If you are talking non-listed receivers of current topic (Mega, Stagg, etc..), then yes pinning 10 round mag. in place is good to go..

Ted why do you post that AR15plus.com kit??? If anyone buys one of those based on your "recommendation" your reputation will be improved!

It Depends

It depends which receiver you are working on.

Only the "off-list" receivers can be done this way at this moment.

I strongly suggest you to check our

The ar15plus.com kit magazine sucks ***. I got a better magazine and just used that.

I don't think they make 100% lowers only 80% built ups.

From what I undertstood, you will turn your legal offlist AR (with all the "evil" features with fixed magazine into an illegal AW upon you take off your magazine for reload at the range. To avoid having any trouble, uou might want to open up your upper for reload just like having a FAB10.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
