not in Cali..unless you registered it as an assualt weapon way back when...go buy a Smith enterprises M/B ( I paid about $135 for mine from Midway ) then grab your 20 rd mags and hit the range. Great gun

The flash hider/suppressor is the issue.

On a semi-auto centerfire rifle that uses detachable magazines, it would be illegal in CA on a non-RAW.

On a semi-auto centerfire rifle with a fixed 10 round magazine, it would be legal in CA.

Therefore...
If you want a flash hider/suppressor on it, you will need a maglock + 10 round magazine.

IMO...
Install a muzzle brake and keep using detachable magazines.

The SA Inc muzzle brake is very effective that I installed on my Polytech M14/S. I picked the brake on GB cheap, someone changed out theirs for a GI type flash hider.

The 20 round mag I assume is if you already have it before the ban, I'm I right? If not you have to use 10 rounders to comply with the stupid California law.

Correct.

Yes, a muzzle device/barrel extension styled to look like a flash hider.

Here is mine with USGI Synthetic stock and fake flashider. Gonna clean it tonight and take her out tomorrow to do some shooting.

Nice rifle you've got there Noonanda. Also, nice caliber assortment. I assume you own guns for each of those?!

Yes sir, no point in having ammo if I dont have a gun to shoot it. Actually just thinned down my calibers over the last few months, sold a .380 Makarov and my 6.5x50 Type 38 Arisaka.

Thanks for the kind words on my Polytech, she is a damn good shooter. First time I took it out hunting I was up in Oregon, nailed a feral Hog at 300yds with Iron sights.

What's her name?

I paid big bucks for one years ago so I could bring my M1A over here. And then I lost it.

Because of President George H. W. Bush's 1989 ban on importing "non-sporting" rifles, you can't add a flash hider or bayonet lug to a Polytech M14 that was imported after the ban unless you want to play the 922(r) parts count game. Adding a mag lock to get the flash hider will get you around California's assault weapon ban, but it won't help you with Bush's non-sporting ban.
