A thread title of "legal?" is not very useful.

Yes. If rifle stock, not pistol grip. Also 10rd AR mag if not pre-ban.

Sorry for my ignorance just trying to figure out these cali laws, so why not a pistol grip? Isn't a AR considered a pistol grip? The rifle is outfitted for a 5 round mag, and others now I can see if it's cause of the bullet button. Thanks again for your responses

Because of the AW ban California passed in 2000 banning semi auto rifles with detachable magazines unless they were possessed before the ban and registered. I think this rifle was made after the ban so to be compliant and not considered an assault rifle it can either have a bullet button making the magazine not detachable or have no pistol grip and be a featureless rifle like a mini14 or M1a. Nobody makes a bullet button so featureless is the only choice

I have one for sale if you want. What makes it legal is the non-pistol grip comfortech stock, and no flashhider, without these features the MR1 can have a detachable magazine without a maglock/bullet button.
