Is this Legal?

[stillwater562]

I am planning on selling a M1A with what I believe is a Muzzle Break, has the holes throughout not the long lines in the metal like the flash suppressor, is this still ok in Ca. With the way laws are changing just want to make sure the muzzle break is ok, so we have no problems with it....thanks in advance...

Featureless ARs are allowed to have muzzle brakes so I see no reason why an M1A couldn't have one.

[stillwater562]

M1A are not covered by any of the AW legislation.

So your saying a M1A can have a Flash Suppressor as well then?

[JohnnyMtn]

If it's the standard Springfield muzzle break that comes on SA M1As sold in gun stores in CA and your M1A is still in the featureless config (I.e. You haven't put the rifle in some stock that has a pistol grip) then you're GTG.

Post a pic of the rifle and the break and someone could confirm for sure.

Yes it can, just no NFA item (sound suppressor)

Wrong, wrong, wrongity-wrong.

The M1A is a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine and so can not have any evil features. A flash suppressor is an evil feature. An M1A equipped with a flash suppressor is an illegal assault weapon under almost 20 year old California law.

As others have stated, MIAs sold in California for the last decade and a half have generally been equipped with muzzle brakes (not "breaks") instead of flash suppressors, as is standard in most of the rest of the country.

Stop stop stop before you get someone arrested. If you do not know, stop talking.

An M1A with a standard removable magazine can NOT have a flash hider. ANY semi auto center fire rifle with a removable magazine AND a flash hider is a felony.

M1As with a brake are legal.

M1As come cal legal with a brake. The brakes have holes drilled in it. In free America they come with an M14 style flash hider, or slots. That variation is illegal here

I get things mixed up as well.

[Blade Gunner]

I stand corrected. It just takes one "evil feature". A flash hider is an evil feature.

And, 'is this legal' means the question really goes to the legal forum, http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/f...play.php?f=349

As noted, a CA-sold M1A will have a muzzle brake, and is NOT an assault weapon in a non-pistol-grip (as usually sold) stock.

Asked and answered, but left open for OP to provide pic of the rifle and whatever thing hangs off the muzzle.

Folks, full stop. A Flash Suppressor on a semi is an evil feature making it an AW in CA.

On a semi-automatic centerfire rifle with a detachable magazine, to be precise.

A flash suppressor would be legal, for example, on an SKS or a 10/22.

I was looking in the marketplace last week and came across a M1A for sale that has the flash hider. Either by accident or misguided info, it happens.

I one day dream of living in a state where all of this is not important.

Top is a flash hider

Bottom is a brake and CA GTG
