Kommander Shotgun

[trackhazard]

Was looking at the new Kommander rifle and saw this on the website as well. I don't think its cali legal since semi + detachable mag. But kinda neat I guess.

The Kalashnikov USA Kommander Shotgun is just a USA made Saiga-12 variant that uses a proprietary magazine.


Under CA laws...

From the factory it is considered an assault weapon because it is a semi-auto shotgun that does not have a fixed magazine. [PC 30515(a)(7)]

In order to be a CA legal semi-auto shotgun it needs to operate utilizing a fixed magazine that can not be removed without disassembling the firearm's action or that is permanently attached in the magazine well.

It can also be made CA legal by modifying it so that it is no longer semi-auto by plugging the gas port and removing the gas piston, which will then make it into a straight pull bolt-action repeating shotgun. As a bolt-action shotgun it can legally utilize detachable magazines.



Penal Code 30515
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, “assault weapon” also means any of the following:
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that does not have a fixed magazine.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
