Featureless Tavor x95

[SB87]

Bought my Tavor x95 "featureless" before the new year. I prefer the bullet button, can I take the fin off and put on a bullet button? I know it's still up for question wether I'll even need the BB after I register but i would prefer that instead of the fin. When I purchased the gun does it go in the database as a "featureless" rifle?

Here's a secret... your featureless X95 may be an AW even with the fin grip. The new (yet to be accepted) regulations require the muzzle device be pinned/welded to meet overall length of 30". So you may be registering unless you want to to permanently attach the 4" abortion.

On the bright side, you (we) should be able to register as is (standard mag, fin grip, non-permanent brake) because it is now less than 30" overall length. And since the only thing the regs say you can't change is the mag release... let your imagination run wild.

I have a Tavor SAR and absolutely despise the BB on it.

The X95 is a little different in that regard.

O/P; don't go crazy yet. NRA/CRPA have a demand-letter and injunction/lawsuit mandate against the regs published, which were overreaching, beyond reasonable in their wishes, and quite hostile in many ways. I'd wait to see what comes of it before tearing things apart, including your hair and the capitol building in Sacramento.

FYI, I just got off the phone with prepper gun shop. They have a couple bullet buttons left in stock. They are not on the website, you have to call.

You can't install a BB after January 1st 2017

We don't know.

Possessing then registering it as an assault weapon under California Penal Code requires it to have been in configuration which was legal before January 1, 2017 but is now defined as an assault weapon.

DOJ's withdrawn regulations said the PC 30515(a)(3) length under 30" was measured to the end of the muzzle or permanently installed appliance; which would make it a then legal, now banned assault weapon.

Those rules also said you couldn't change the magazine release mechanism; so you'd have a registered assault weapon you couldn't convert from push button to free state magazine release although the grip fin could go.

OTOH, without that change in measurement technique it wasn't an assault weapon last year and can't be one this year without felony PC 30600 assault weapon manufacture.

We don't know. Senate staff supporting the bill claimed

In fact, in the first eleven months after the retention of records for long guns became operational (January 1, 2014 to December 2, 2014), there were 50,574 sales or transfers of military-style weapons with a bullet-button or other similar feature that allows for the rapid exchange of the magazine.

I didn't like the prying mechanics of that enough I sold my NIB SAR for a $500 loss to acquire a X95 with ambidextrous poking bullet button releases in the AR15 location.

Shooting my SAR this week in Utah sans fin grip with standard magazine release is a pure joy. I hate my own state.
