Q. I live in California
and was looking to buy a California legal
AR using a bullet button. Its just
hard to figure out what ones you have in stock
and which ones are legal and are not. Is DPMS
CA legal? Can you give me a list of all the
AR15 rifles that are California legal?
A. We sell California
legal "off listed" ARs and AKs and
also other firearms like the Saiga 12.
These are not banned in California because
they are not included on the California Dept.
of Justice banned firearms list. We make them
California legal for residents of California
with the addition of the bullet button. (Many
thanks to the folks at Calguns for spreading
the word, including posting an official letter
from the California DOJ firearms division
confirming that such purchases are legal.)
What does a bullet button do?
The bullet button is not really a "button"
at all. It is a cover with a hole in it, and
it sits over the mag release. It is also referred
to as a "mag lock." In order to
get the mag to release, you need to stick
a "tool" like a screwdriver or dowel
into the hole in order to activate the mag
release. You could also use the tip of a bullet
for this purpose, so then you can call it
a bullet button. Note: The bullet button does
not change the way your mags work. To be more
clear, it does NOT turn your rifle into a
single shot by any means. It only affects
how the mags eject from your gun.
How much does it cost?
- We charge our dealer cost for bullet button
and installation.
- For almost all the rifles this price is
$25, which is our dealer cost for bullet
buttons for all AR15 and AK rifles; however...
- Some bullet buttons may cost us more.
For example, HK USC Carbine bullet buttons
are usually $40. Beretta CX4 bullet buttons
are $50 because these require a lot of tinkering
and time to get them to fit.
What about the hicaps?
- We are prohibited by law from shipping
hicap mags over 10 rounds to California.
- If your rifle package states that it has
a mag over 10RD, then the mag will not be
included.
- There is no price adjustment made to your
order in this case and you are not buying
a hicap mag from us.
- We will offer to sell the Calif. legal
10RD or 5RD mags to you at our dealer cost
if you purchase them when you buy your firearm
from us.
What about rifles with folding stocks?
- We pin any folding stock so it is not
folding. Therefore, your rifle meets California
length requirements (must be 30 inches or
longer). This is FREE.
- We do not modify collapsible or 6-position
stocks. These are legal in California "as
is," because when fully collapsed the
rifle is not under 30 inches in length.
Can my rifle be returned to originally
manufactured condition?
- Yes. We don't destroy anything. (No "remanufacturing"
is done at all.) We do a very careful and
reversible job. Therefore, if you leave
California and want to return your rifle
to original condition, you will be able
to do so.
Will my warranty still be valid?
- Yes. Your warranty that comes with your
firearm will be valid.
Which firearms are legal-with-bullet-button
in California?
As far as the rifles go, the Remington, S&W,
LWRC, STAG, CMMG, Olympic Arms, Remington
and more all make rifles that are legal in
California. Also legal are some Rugers and
Bushmaster ACR and Carbon 15 AR rifles are
also legal-with-bullet-buttonl! Below are
links to today's current stock for ARs by
each of these manufacturers.
Please note that all the DPMS AR rifles are
not California legal at all, because they
are listed on the CA
DOJ banned list by company name. DPMS
had the unfortunate misfortune of being completely
blacklisted when the DOJ list was drawn up.
Firearm models and company names must be "not-named"
on the list in order to be legal in California.

legal in Calif. with bullet button and removal

Bushmaster ACR and Carbon 15 AR rifles are
also legal-with-bullet-button. If the product
description says ACR or Carbon 15, then it
is OK to go to California with bullet button.
These are the only Bushmasters that can be

Ruger
Calif.
OK Ruger rifles in stock. This list includes
Mini-14 as well as AR15 rifles. Regarding
Mini-14 rifles, the Mini-14 is not an assault
weapon as per Calif. law. Therefore you do
not need a bullet button on a Mini-14. As
long as you choose a Mini-14 with no flash
suppressor / flash hider (but a muzzle break
is legal in Calif.) and as long as your Mini-14
has mags that are 10RD or less, it is legal
in California.
Beretta CX4
Beretta
CX4 rifles in stock. The good news is
that we now have a source for CX4 bullet buttons!
Also, the CX4 is long enough to meet the California
requirements, as long as you do not remove
Beretta's stock spacer (which comes already
installed). Please note, we do not put spacers
in any hicap mags and can not ship the mags
to California. See more notes about hicaps
above.
There are more manufacturers and models that
we can ship to California. If you think a
particular model can be made California compliant
with bullet button, and if you would like
to make sure before placing your order, please
email us the catalog no and your request and
we'll look it up to make sure.
