No collapsible or folding stock for the MKA.

Most of the info you need to know is in the CA Shotgun Ban ID Flowchart.

Also be aware of 922R compliance, although there are plenty of US made parts since the thread below:

The major upgrades on my MKA are the Firebird side charger handguard and Firebird lower. The stock is a Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock.

Yes. It is CA legal to acquire 10 or less round magazines for it.

However, the MKA-1919 needs to operate using a fixed magazine to be CA legal.
So, it must always have a maglock while in CA.

I own one of these too and the stock has to be pinned but 10rd mags are good 2 go! I love this gun!

Thanks for clarifying this question in relation to 10 rounds mag

My friend I am anxious to use my gun tomorrow at the shooting range

California compliant MKAs come with bullet buttons.

MKA magazines generally need tuning to work well.
Mods worth doing:
BAD levers. I use mine all the time.
Thordsen ambidextrous magazine lock. Works with minor modification. Really handy because the size of these guns and magazines make magazine swaps clunky.

Firebird is coming out with a really sweet drum magazine, unfortunately not for us:

MKAs do not tolerate ammo with cheap, soft hulls and/or out of round crimps. I have around 13 boxes of Fiocchi slugs that suffer from all three and I can't go for more than a couple rounds without an FTF. Junk ammo.

You know I think I made a mistake I bought 250 rounds of federal state with a cheap price, I hope to work fine on my shotgun

federal state ammo

How does this compare to a VEPR12 or a Saiga 12?

[ericksv2]

that depends on each person but technically each of these weapons have their pro i minuses but with some good changes or update all three are very good

I'm working on some ftf issues with mine right now but it hasn't reall been fully broken in yet either! Dum mag!!! Yaaaaay
