B4 ya'll eat me alive. I have a question regarding new CA laws. Firstly, after 2017 will I be able to buy a lower rec as they exist b4 the ban? Second, will the rec design be modified or is it simply a matter of swapping out the bullet button hardware to achieve mag release?

You will be able to buy a stripped lower receiver.
The way that you will have to build it into a firearm will change on 1/1/17."Bruen, the Bruen opinion, I believe, discarded the intermediate scrutiny test that I also thought was not very useful; and has, instead, replaced it with a text history and tradition test." Judge Benitez 12-12-2022

You must build as featureless if buying next yearComment

Nothing is different between current production free-state and California compliant standard AR15 receivers and that's not changing. Buying used you might run into a banned-by-name receiver, although manufacturers changed their roll marks years ago so that won't be an issue on new purchases.
If you don't have an odd receiver (the Quarter Circle lowers accepting Glock magazines, AR45 which takes .45 ACP grease gun amgazines, AR47 accepting AK47 magazines, etc.) you can install the magazine release hardware of your choice - free state, bullet button, DFM, armaglock, etc.
The Patriot Pin is interesting and scheduled for sale on January 1st. It's a replacement end plate for carbine stocks with a lever actuated rear take down pin which allows fast magazine swaps on guns equipped with the armaglock/patriot release. They had a youtube video but removed it, perhaps to avoid irritating regulation writing DOJ employees until after they did their dirty work.
I still haven't fully adjusted to California since moving here from Colorado when regular capacity magazines were legal and private sales didn't go through FFLs.Last edited by Drew Eckhardt; 12-19-2016, 7:34 PM.Comment
