A flash hider is a 'feature'.

One is concerned about 'features' when one's semi-automatic centerfire rifle has a 'detachable magazine'.

A rifle with a magazine lock (bullet button) does not have a 'detachable magazine'.

still legal for now...

I found this page today.

I found it really helpful. It has a lot of muzzle devices on it, and it explains why, or why not, a device may, or may not, be CA legal. I'm looking to build a featureless and this seems to cover it.

i was at Lytle creek shooting range today. i own a M1A made in 1983. it came from the factory with a M 14 style flash hider. i was told i could not shoot this rifle without the CA muzzle brake installed. he was very nice to me and let me shoot 10 rounds before i had to put it away. it just does not seem right.

Even though the people have been nice at Lytle Creek, it is the last range I suggest going to if you are worried about getting hassled about your guns. They will most certainly be checking!

If you registered as a RAW before the CA Deadline, it's perfectly legal for you to take it out there and shoot it.

If you didn't register it, by all means, remove the factory flash hider, and attach a legal muzzle brake. Removing Original flash suppressor makes the M1A featureless, and it doesn't have to be registered as a RAW. You can get the Springfield muzzle brake in a kit from Springfield comes with a tool to remove and replace the locknut and plastic case for about $100.

Or, you can find the Springfield muzzle brake on Amazon or eBay by itself for $40-$50.

If you get the muzzle brake alone, and need to use the Springfield tool, I can let you use mine. Just PM me, and we can meet up.

Didn't we already go over this days (weeks?) ago? You asked was your rifle legal and it was clearly stated not with the flash hider on it. Several suggestions on legal replacements were made and I said you should remove the flash hider now.

Then you took it today to the range?



You realize CAL-DOJ reads these boards correct?
