They are claiming it is CA legal.

I think that it isn't a Semi Auto by definition.

I am guessing that it uses some kind of mechanism in between battery and trigger press to make it not a Semi.

Thoughts?

You're probably right on the Semi aspect. The graphic doesn't specify it is Semi-Auto.

So being that it's center-fire, has a detachable mag, and doesn't require disassembly, its adjustable gas block most likely locks out all gas pressure, making it effectively a bolt action.

My .02 cents, anyway.

Correct about the graphic.

I don't htink it can be a semi, but I think that whatever mechanism they came up with is easier and faster to use than a bolt action.

I think it will get classified as a "Lever" or "Pump" action personally.

I wants one.

Yep. Ok for bench shooting but not fun off hand.

Interesting

IDK.

If the safety flips on after each shot, couldn't you just hold the safety in the "Fire" position?

I still would only fire after a device is engaged so still not semi. The trigger alone would not cause the rifle to fire.
That would make it a viable and pretty fast shooting gun.

IDK but I am hopeful!

Prob just like Britain's SGC lever release rifle.

Consider a 1911 style safety for the offhand...
Maybe on a VFG?

Standard AR safety position would work just fine, I think.

No need to reinvent the wheel.

That looks pretty enticing. How about the 29" length with stock collapsed, is that kosher in CA? I'm always confused with CA's OAL rules.

It's not a semi auto.
