Setting aside the effects of the Benitez ruling, it's important to realize some things have NOT changed.
Can I use LCMs in my 'featureless' centerfire semiautomatic rifles??
Yes.
Can I use LCMs in my RAW -Registered Assault Weapon(s)?
Yes.
IF YOU REGISTERED, the registered guns do NOT have a 'fixed magazine'. If you registered a 'bullet-buttoned' gun, under the new law that is NOT a 'fixed magazine' gun.
Can I use LCMs in my gun that has a new magazine locking device (open action to release mag)?
No.
32310 (the narrow subject of Judge Benitez's ruling in Duncan) is about just crimes with magazines; the definition of large-capacity magazine is independent of 32310.
'Assault weapon' law is a different piece - in this case: PC 30515 -- And 30515 does not even use the term 'large capacity magazine' - it says "a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds."
Your new mag locking device creates a 'fixed magazine' - you probably did that to avoid registering.
Using a LCM in a fixed magazine device creates an 'assault weapon'. That's a felony. Do not do that.

30515.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, “assault weapon” also means any of the following:
...
(2) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
