    Bullet button question

    Do you have to have a bullet button installed on a A2 fixed stocked complete lower if there is no upper on it ? Is there a constructive possession clause in the law for this .

    If it has a pistol grip yes. Unless raw.

      Okay well up until recently everyone agreed that no you didn't. Some recent case law regarding AW's has clouded the water though. I don't know what to tell you until someone with better legal expertise chimes in.

        A lower receiver is neither centerfire nor semiautomatic so no it cannot be an assault weapon. That being said, I ve been saying for years if you play the "the upper and lower are separate" game you may just have a disassembled assault weapon.

          No, you don't need a bullet button on a complete lower.

          But don't ever put a semi-auto centerfire upper on it without first installing a mag lock.

            The reason Im asking is . I will be going to AZ a few times a year to shoot and hunt . I'd rather just have a lower I don't have to put on and take off the button if it's legal to do so .

            Another part of this I'm not clear on is, does the bullet button have to be permanent . do I have to use red locktite or stronger if I install it my self ?

              No you don't need one if it is not a funcational firearm that would otherwise require a mag lock

              No need to make it permanent.

              It takes all of 60 seconds to swap mag releases

              If you are that lazy ( I am, and I hate having to remember to bring extra parts) get a raddlock, which you can easily convert from maglock to standard release

                Get a Raddlock. Best option for what you want to do with your rifle

                  I would get a dedicated rim fire upper to keep on it. Cheaper practice while in state and easy to swap to the center fire upper when you cross the border. If it always has the rim fire upper on it in Cali then they really can't say anything about it.

                    I shoot mostly in AZ. I use one of the magnetic bullet button tools when I do. I do not use the magnetic button in CA.
