California Approved Shotguns

[golfish]

Hey guys, I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season..

So I'm looking at Buds Guns and I see we have our own section of guns. I don't know about you but it makes me feel so special

I kind of thought we were safe on shotguns. I know nothing more then 10rds and barrel length but what makes Ca so special. Is there a shotgun out there that we can't buy and own that other states can?

I know you can't buy a Benelli M4 with a telescoping pistol grip stock.

The flow chart is at the top of the page.

Pretty much this ^^^

It's not that it's a Benelli it's that it's semi auto. A semi auto with a telescoping pistol grip is no bueno. But you can pretty much get whatever you want on a pump gun. Check the chart.

Shotguns that are defined by CA laws as assault weapons and/or short barrel shotguns.

Semiautomatic must be fixed-magazine. No "featureless" option that allows a detachable magazine.

Folding or telescoping buttstock, or pistol grip, by themselves, is legal (with fixed magazine).
You cannot have both.

So the typical Benelli is okay since it has a fixed mag and pistol grip but fixed buttstock

That pistol grip collapsible stock on the Benelli M4 is a waste of money anyways, makes the gun feel awkward. If you want to go balls out, get the Benelli M4 fitted with a straight sporting stock, best feeling "tactical" shotgun in the world right now.

I guess I was shocked to see some many shotguns that are Ca legal in stock that weren't listed in their Ca section..

Thanks guys

I could see its merits if you're wearing armor and want to run it real short. But I prefer the fixed pistol grip stock on the M4. One day I'll get one, fantastic shotgun.

Basically you can't buy a shotgun if:

* Its a SPAS 12, Law 12, Striker 12, or Streetsweeper
* It has a revolving cylinder (like a Streetsweeper)
* Its an SBS
* It is semi auto with detachable mags
* It is semi auto and has both a pistol grip and folding/telescoping stock

So most shotguns are fine, but shotguns like the Saiga 12 you'll have to be careful to not have both a pistol grip and folding stock at the same time, and will need a magazine lock.

I always wanted one of the rotating drum magazine Streetsweepers.

One thing to note is that while in Ca you can no longer legally acquire a +10 round mag, if you have one, you can legally use it on a fixed magazine shotgun, semi auto shotgun without violating CA AW laws. This is not the case with rifles or handguns though.

^^^ True see you tomorrow. Buy an Ithaca roadblocker 10 gauge it makes an instant marksman out of a blind person.

The good old days of the early 80's, walk into gun shop with $500 and walk out with a SPAS-12

I miss those days
