M2 in .416

[xsefan]

Anyone ever built a M2 from a kit?
I have a kit. I can't build it as a .50 bmg so the barrel is useless. I don't see .416 barrels anyone know of another caliber that can be used in the m2 ?

All .50 must be registered at a dangerous weapon in ca

[Deedle]

I thought that the law was all 50 BMG rifles, not the M2?

Incorrect.

You can build, buy, or sell Ma Deuce in California perfectly legally, the same as any other long gun, be it semi auto or single shot.

Yep. M2 is a crew served weapon, not a shoulder fired rifle and not subject to the .50 ban. Build away. (but you'd better be able to reload the rounds yourself as they are VERY expensive)

All rifles that are capable of chambering a .50 BMG round are assault weapons.

An M2 by design is not a rifle. It is a semi auto firearm and nothing more.

RIGHT

Please give a close read to the statutes. Penal Code section 30600 makes it a felony to manufacture a .50 BMG Rifle. Section 17090 defines a "Rifle" as a weapon designed to be fired from the shoulder.

The M2 was not designed to be fired from the shoulder, therefore it is not a "Rifle" and therefore is not governed by section 30600.

Please explain to us how the M2 fits the definition of a “rifle”

Check the dros system. It must be transferred as a rifle.
Check with doj. They don't not have a category for other weapons. Just handgun and rifles.

That's cool, but the functionality of the DROS system does not change the content of the statutes.

I'm not moving anywhere. This is your thread and you are the rightful decision-maker of how you will proceed. Comments made by me, and others, are only there to assist you. You get to decide what weight to give them

But please keep in mind that you are not the only person who is affected by the content of the discussion. When you make a patently false assertion, as you did in your Post #3, stand by to be corrected as to facts as Deedle, Spyder, CAL.BAR, kcstott and I, pointed out. That dialogue is important to other readers of this thread who might otherwise have been misled by your posting.
