If you have the papers from the state saying it's a reg'd AW, you should be good to go.
Get a tactical-shmactical stock for that bad boy and run it with a standard mag release and your standard capacity mags

why was it registered as an AW, flash suppressor?

[north cal]

flash suppressur

Yes that and detachable mag. And i still have lots of pre ban mags.Some day i may take it off and put a brake on it. Just to put it in a Sage int stock.I dont think i will becouse i like the look of wood and steal. i

The M1A looks so much better with the flash suppressor than the muzzle brake.

Mine is dated 2001 also. Its fine. It's only the date they issued the cert.

Pistol grip that bad boy, for no other reason than you have a get out of jail free card. You can keep your flash hider on it at the same time.
Get another compliant one to leave in the wood stock.

You're fine.

My letter is dated April 5, 2001, and I sent it in early Dec 2000.

Yep! Sky's the limit (within reason) with an registered AW. My M1A papers came in July 2001.

[north cal]

They left out the first number of my serial number on my reg.It is a 0.

My AW registration letter from Calif DOJ is dated April 13, 2001. No worries.. the letter is proof the DOJ accepted and recognizes your Aw registration as lawful.

Leave the flash hider on. its the way the gun was designed. I THINK that i heard somewhere that when the law requred removal of the flash hider and replaced it with a muzzlebrake, it changed the "harmonics" of the barrel and the accuracy. I dont know if its true but that was the rumor floating around in 2001/2002.
