    If you bought it in CA then it probably has a bullet button on it. It's considered an assault rifle currently.

    You can't sell it in it's current form most likely.
    1) You can keep it and register it because they re-opened the registration period. Or keep it and wait for Miller to run its course.
    2) Put a maglock on the mag release mechanism
    3) or take off the bird cage, pistol grip, front grip and pin the stock.
    4) sale it out of state to a state that doesn't consider it an assault rifle.
    5) you can strip the lower and sell it separately. Then sell everything else as a completion kit.


    What else am I missing....

      OP

      Some guns are banned by model #.

      Should we assume you purchased the rifle in CA?


      Did you register your gun with the CA DOJ on the super painful CFARS system?

      The bullet button guns became illegal assault weapons and had to be registered or re configured
      Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

      Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

      Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

      Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

        I have few 6920 in the same era as yours. You are good to go to sell.

        If the rifle was never register as AW:

        If you are going to sell the rifle in full and as a ready to shoot rifle:
        1. Make it either featureless or put a maglock on it.

        If you do not want to make those changes and let the future seller decide (featureless or maglock):
        1. Just transfer the lower only at FFL and give upper to seller directly.

          If you aren't going to convert to featureless or replace the bullet button with a break action style then just store it with the upper and lower separated. While the upper is off it's not an assault weapon.

              Don't let California win. If you separate the upper from the lower it doesn't matter what is has or doesn't have. Find a local shop/smith and ask them to show you a featureless and a magazine locked. And see what you like better. Then give them the two halves to make the changes.

              If you just want to make it legal quickly. A good, cheap, easy way is to just install a comp mag.

              CompMag. California Compliant Fixed, Side Loading Magazines. For AK-47 & AR-15 Firearms. Get California legal just by changing your magazine.Click here to learn more.


              You can leave your old bullet button in place and it installs with one screw, no drilling or disassembly greater than opening the action. It installs in about a minute and is reversible. The only downside is reloading time it basically gives you an internal magazine which you load by hand. There are a few ways to load it faster through the ejection port but that isn't important.

                  I can tell you exactly: Zero.

                  No one is a "felon" until they have been convicted in a court of law of a crime charged as a "Felony."

                    OP the rifle needs to be brought to current CA standards. It must either be featureless or have a fixed magazine, which cannot drop free from the receiver.

                    Featureless means the rifle does not feature a telescoping stock, a pistol grip, a vertical forward grip, or a flash hider. If you wish to keep those evil features, you must make the magazine fixed.

                    To convert to featureless, either pin the stock or replace the stock. Either add a grip fin to the pistol grip, or replace it with a CA compliant grip. Eliminate any vertical forward grips. Either eliminate the flash hider or replace it with a muzzle brake.

                      OP needs to separate the upper and lower receivers post haste if it currently is as it was at the time of purchase, no?

                          Thank you everyone. I think I will get the locked mag to be compliant, for now the rifle sits apart.

                          Keep an eye, It may be in the Classifieds soon!

                          Thanks again

                            Friends don't let friends Maglock their rifles. Make it featureless (#3 above) so it will stay reliable and you can use 10+ round magazines (legally obtained) which can't be done with a Maglock. You can sell a featureless rifle in CA.
                            I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

                              Do this now OP, or simply remove the BCG and put it in another safe, room, whatever. Just not in the gun. Law clearly says if it lacks a bolt, it's not an assault weapon. Do it now, the chances are pretty small, but you don't need your door kicked in.

                              Then go over your options.
                              Buy made in USA whenever possible.
