Frequently Asked Questions

What changed for AR-15s with bullet buttons in California on January 1, 2017?

As of January 1, 2017, California's new assault weapons ban regulations reclassified AR-15s equipped with 'bullet buttons' as assault weapons. Previously, these were considered compliant for magazine removal, but the updated laws now prohibit them without specific registration or modification.

What are the risks of registering an AR-15 with a bullet button in California?

Registering an AR-15 with a bullet button in California requires submitting photos of its current configuration, and the device cannot be changed post-registration. Experts advise against this, viewing registration as a potential precursor to confiscation and a method to create a database of firearm owners.

What are the alternative compliance options for AR-15 owners in California after the 2017 ban?

For AR-15 owners in California, compliance options include building 'featureless' rifles (lacking pistol grips, collapsible stocks, flash hiders) or installing 'mag-lock' devices that require disassembly of the firearm's action to remove the magazine.

Is it legal to modify a bullet button to a standard magazine release before registering in California?

No, it is illegal to change a bullet button to a standard magazine release before registration in California. Doing so would create an unregistered assault weapon, potentially leading to arrest and severe legal penalties.
