Not an FFL question - moved to CA Laws forum

New numbering is PC 30515 - see state website http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...r=2.&article=1.

Penal Code 30515
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, “assault weapon” also means any of the following:
(3) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.

California Code of Regulations Title 11 Division 5 Chapter 39 Article 2 Section 5471
Explanation of Terms Related to Assault Weapon Designation.
(x) “Overall length of less than 30 inches” with respect to a centerfire rifle means the rifle has been measured in the shortest possible configuration that the weapon will function/fire and the measurement is less than 30 inches. Folding and telescoping stocks shall be collapsed prior to measurement. The approved method for measuring the length of the rifle is to measure the firearm from the end of the barrel, or permanently attached muzzle device, if so equipped, to that part of the stock that is furthest from the end of the barrel, or permanently attached muzzle device. (Prior to taking a measurement the owner must also check any muzzle devices for how they are attached to the barrel.)

How do you tell what is “permanent” if you can’t tell if something is red locktited on or something?

Here are the ATF permanent attachment guidelines:

Jump to chapter 2.

Loctite is not permanent.
You can remove a loctited muzzle device with no damage to the barrel.
Any muzzle device that can be removed with common hand tools (not power tools) and does not cause any damage to the barrel during removal is not considered to be permanent attached.

I found the state docs about permanent muzzle device in title 11. Thanks.
