Their CA variant had a "bullet button" style magazine release that required a tool to remove the tubular magazines and it was CA legal from 2011-2016.

Starting 01-01-2017, it became a CA assault weapon and if you owned one before 2017, you had to register it as an assault weapon before 07-01-2018 or dispose of it out-of-state or render it permanently inoperable or surrender it to law enforcement for destruction.

Because the tubular magazines can be removed without disassembling the firearm's action, it no longer meet's CA definition of a fixed magazine and are considered assault weapons. [PC 30515(a)(7)]

It's my understanding that the rotary mags can not be removed on the CA version... it has a door/release to load the tube, rotate & load, repeat

I have the standard version... but I checked out the CA version on their site - you should too.

SRM 1216CA...

"Our California compliant version has a magazine lock release that requires a tool to remove and attach the magazine."

Before 2017, this met CA's defintion of a fixed magazine, making it CA legal.
After 2016, this meets CA's new definition of a detachable magazine and no longer meets CA's new definition of a fixed magazine, making it CA illegal.

I could have sworn I saw a version with fixed mag and a door/flap (I dont know what else to call it) on the feed side of the rotary mag (right hand side)... the door lifts open, feed four, rotate mag and repeat.

I'll have to search ... I'm pretty damn sure I didnt dream it. Might be something I'd dream up if I still lived there - but I'm positive I saw the thing on their site, or one of their vids... I'll try to find it.

I can't find the vid I've seen - but I did just look at the pdf attachment on SRM's site... here's their quote:

models M1216CAB and M1216CAF have a fixed magazine

and to load:

M1216CAB and M1216CAF Loading Procedure
1. Flip the loading port cover downward and rotate the magazine to align a tube with the port opening. 2. Repeat this process for each tube.
3. Close the loading port cover.

The current version doesn't require mag to be removed (even with a tool), it requires a "port door" to be opened and mag tube fed from there, while attached to gun. The pdf can be found by clicking the "see all features" link under the CA compliant version: https://www.srmarms.com/shotguns

I'd call them to inquire if you're interested in getting one - its a great gun... I called them to inquire about what gen I had, they were very helpful... I'm sure they'd be willing to answer questions about the CA version.
