Is this legal in CA? I've looked at roster but it's so confusing I figured someone might know.

It was fine when we had SSE, so if you own one from those days, you're OK with it. It does fall under the new a-salt weapon registration law, so I don't think it's legal to even PPT them anymore. -

It is not listed on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.
Therefore, an exemption is required in order for a CA FFL dealer to be able to legally transfer it.
^Exemptions = LEO sale, out-of-state intra-familial gift, PPT.
In it's factory form, the SIG P556 is considered an assault weapon.
Starting 01-01-2017, the SIG P556 with a "bullet button" style magazine lock is an assault weapon.
Starting 01-01-2017, the SIG P556 can be CA legal in one of the following configurations:
A. Semi-auto pistol with a fixed 10 or less round magazine.
^ ^Locking a magazine into the magazine well in such a manner that it can not be removed without disassembling the firearm's action or permanently attaching (weld/epoxy/rivet) the magazine into the firearm's magazine well.
B. Manually operated pistol.
^Remove the gas piston and plug the gas block. This will make it a straight pull bolt-action pistol. As a manually operated pistol it can legally accept detachable magazines outside of the pistol's grip, have a second handgrip, have a thread barrel, and a flash suppressor.
C. Disassembled parts.
^Disassemble the firearm into parts. Only the receiver is transfer through the CA FFL dealer and all the other parts can be given directly to the transferee. It is then up to the transferee to make the firearm into a CA legal configuration.sigpic

It would be an OOS PPT

PPT = a face-to-face transfer between CA residents facilitated by a CA FFL dealer
^If the firearm is shipped, then it is not a PPT.
^If one of the parties involved is not a CA resident, then it is not a PPT.
Since the firearm is out-of-state, it is not a PPT and the only way a CA FFL dealer can transfer it to you is via LEO sale (you are a Law Enforcement Officer) or out-of-state intra-familial gift (an out-of-state "immediate family member" is gifting it to you). The firearm must also be made CA legal prior to being delivered to CA.
If neither of these two (LEO sale, out-of-state intra-familial gift) exemptions applies to you, then it can not be legally transferred to you.sigpic
