Been looking through the stuff on the net. Found the assault weapons regs. Can an old M1A be brought in if it has had the flash hider replaced with a CA legal brake?

Yes, also remember that 10 round or fewer magazines apply to rifles also (except tube fed 22 rimfires)

If you're son is active duty, he can get a letter from his command authorizing him to import and own an "assault weapon" Colt, DPMS etc. detachable magazine rifle with all the evil features that he wants. Have him get the letter from his CA command authorizing it and get the permit from the CA DOJ

Can find no references to a Garand. They OK?

Garands are fine. my brother collects them here in Cali.


Can only find references to semi shotguns and shotguns with circular mags. How about a old Mossberg pump riot gun with a fixed stock?

Pump shotguns are fine as long as they hold 10 rounds or less. Semi-auto shotguns cannot have detachable magazines or pistol grips

How about bringing in handguns that are not on the current approved list? (Understanding that mags over 10 rds are a no-no.)

If he is moving into CA he can bring in any off list pistols that he wants. He just has to register all the handguns with the Dept of justice (DOJ) within 60 days of moving into the State, as long as they're not assault weapons. (No handguns are allowed in with threaded barrels, barrel shrouds, forward handgrips and detachable magazine that insert in any location other than the pistol grip)

Thanks,
