Question about DFM mag lock for HK clones

[Boots N' Booze]

I'm a Nevada resident who often goes back home to Orange County to visit family and go shooting. With the new AW laws in place, I have been trying to figure out how to make my guns CA legal, so I can bring them with me to shoot.

My most challenging gun to make CA legal is my mp5 clone. I have been thinking about using the Franklin Armory DFM mag lock for HK's, but I haven't been able to find very much information on them, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experience and could help me out. Looking at one of the videos that I could find on the DFM mag lock, it looks like you would need to take the end cap and trigger housing off each time you wanted to put in a fresh mag. Since this would be a pain in the butt to do every time, can you instead lock the bolt back and load the rounds via the ejection port, similar to how the MEAN Arms side loader loads rounds into the AR-15 via the ejection port?

Additionally, I also am trying to keep my guns so that they are CA compliant, but easily restored back to original condition once I am back in Nevada. Can the DFM be easily removed so I can restore my mp5 clone back to the way it was?

Problem is unless you're a California resident and register your rifle as an assault rifle during the current window, simply putting a maglock will not comply with the law once the registration window has closed. Look to convert to featureless to stay legal.

Wrong. If maglock for your firearm is properly installed (making it a fixed magazine firearm), it is not an AW and does not need to be registered as such. Or, you could go featureless.

It's essentially a C shaped ring (collar) that slides under the mag release button to keep it from actuating. The C part can only be installed if you remove the trigger pack, thus complying with the new "Fixed Magazine" law.
Fully reversible once out of state.

I do not think one can easily top load the magazine through the ejection port.

Honestly, the G3/MP5 variants are decent featureless rifles - unless you're talking about at MP5 pistol...

I stand corrected, for some reason when I think of maglock, my mind automatically refers to a bullet button, maybe cause to me it's the same god- forsaken thing, maybe just cause I'm an idiot lol

The mp5s are the easiest to make compliant weather featureless or the collar under the mag release... pretty easy

Let the CA relatives provide the guns. Keep your's at home.

My MP5 clone took nothing more than a fin grip to become featureless. It already had a fixed stock and no flash suppressor.
