CA Compliant AR

[tdyoung1958]

Need to make my AR's CA compliant for my upcoming move to Los Gatos

Can I just take the 30 and 40 round mags apart and be good? I already have a Stoner 10 round Magazine I used at the range for bench shooting.

What else do I need to fix/change?

Can this be done after moving if I disassemble the gun or does it need done before moving? Also any good CA compliance parts and links would be helpful


SolarTactical helped with everything I needed for my AK's

Disassembling the mags over 10 rounds is a start. If the AR is not listed, then check for evil features: pistol grip, forward pistol grip, folding or collapsible stock, flare launcher, flash hider. If it has ANY of those, it needs a magazine locking device.
Check out the flow chart

Bullet button installation is quite simple.

If your lower is manufactured by:

American Spirit
Armalite
Bushmaster
Colt
Dalphon
DPMS
Eagle Arms
Frankford Arsenal
Hesse Arms
Knights
Les Baer
Olympic Arms
Ordnance Inc
Palmetto
Professional Ordnance Inc
PWA
Rock River Arms Inc
Wilson Combat

you better check with

http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/awguide

to make sure they aren't listed by model.
If they are, they'll be considered assault weapons in CA. In this case, you can replace your lower with one not on the list.

I'm close to Los Gatos, nice little (rich,white) town in the multicultural silicon valley. I can't help on the rifle question, but interested on the answer. For the mags, I suggest you leave them with a friend out of state and avoid the hassle here.

The Santa Clara County field sports range is on Metcalf Road in SJ for a public place to shoot. Range staff are good people.

Check the flow chart up at the top,

But the cliffnotes are:

30 inches overall length
16 inch barrel or 14.5 with a 1.5 muzzle device (perm)
10 rd mag
Mag locking device of your choosing
Disassemble the mags They will become rebuild kits.
