Hey guys, well, title says it all. Not new to the gun world, I’ve been an avid hunter since I was 12. Shotguns and rifles were my thing and still are. Now, I’m interested in buying my very first assault rifle. After what video games, movies, and personal interest have stated, I landed on the AR-15, or the ‘M4’ (to my understanding, the AR-15 is the semi automatic version.)
So far, here is what I’ve come up with. About 70% of accessories that can be put on the AR, are illegal in CA. That leaves me with a few options. Can someone verify if the extendable stock is illegal here?
Looking for either a .223 or 5.56 NATO, the caliber doesn’t matter, I’d prefer the cheaper one.
Basically, I’m asking all of you members here to school me on what I don’t know. Thanks guys.
I just baought the Daniel Defense M4 V3 on monday, I should be here tomorrow. I have done all sorts of research on this forum and other sources and I believe if you can muster up $1200 this is by far the best rifle to get.
Getting an AR-15 chambered for 5.56 will allow you to shoot both .223 and 5.56 NATO. I believe most of them do come standard with 5.56 chambers but I’m not 100% sure.
That is your definitive source for California rifle information including legality of various things and what is available and how it has to be configured.

“About 70% of accessories that can be put on the AR, are illegal in CA”
Erm, no? I live in CA and I can put just about anything I want on it WITH a bullet button. I’d recommend getting a bullet button that you can adjust with a tool to a regular magazine release. They’re pretty neat if you go out of state a lot to shoot like me.
You can also have “magazine rebuild kits,” which are disassembled “high-cap” mags. But, you can only put them together when you’re out of state and need to bring them back disassembled.
Google Calguns flowchart. You want to ensure your lower is not banned. Buy a bullet button from RifleGear, I use Raddlock. Evil features are okay with bullet button. Pick up 10 round magazines too.
I actually favor the extendable stock feature, I wouldn’t want to keep a fixed one. What does the bullet button have to do with it though? I thought the bullet button was mandatory in CA. Or are you referring to building my own (which I don’t plan on.)
