Can I buy an AR 15 with detachable mag if it has a monster grip?

Question

I really want an AR 15 with a detachable mag but I live in CA. Although having a monster grip on an AR 15 will legally allow it to have a detachable magazine. Can I order a DPMS AR 15 with a pistol grip and give the gun dealer a monster grip to install it so I can buy it legally?

Answer 1

"Fatefinger" is not correct.  I assume when you say Monster grip you mean Monsterman grip.

The answer is yes, you can use detachable mags in CA with the MM grip  as long as your lower is not "listed" on the banned guns list.  

It will not allow you to use anything higher than a 10 round mag unless you bought your mags before 2000.

You can have the rifle shipped without the grip installed and then attach the MM grip when you get it. It's very simple to install. You can't have it shipped into CA even to your dealer with a grip in place, unless your CA dealer is registered to handle assault weapons with the CA DOJ.

Answer 2

Move out of California, then you can have whatever the heck you want on your AR.  Cali sucks to live in anyways (awesome place to visit, though).  

Answer 3

First guy is wrong. I own several AR-15's legally in CA and I know for a fact it can have a removable magazine with the grip you described. However, if you go for the removable magazine, it cannot have any other "assault weapon" features like a flash hider, bayonet lug, threaded barrel, collapsable/folding stock, grenade launcher attachment, etc. Go to the CA Department of Justice page for the full list of features.

If you go for a fixed magazine or one of the bullet magazine releases, you can have all of those other cool features as well as a pistol grip.

Answer 4

No. All ar15's sold in the peoples republik of kalifornistan must have a fixed magazine and can only hold ten rounds. An ar with detachable magazines go for around $5,000 I've heard in kalifornistan.

Problem is if you wan't any sort of good firearm you have to move. I'd like for all the pro-gun people to move out so we cut kalifornistan of the continental United States literally and hopfully it will drift and sink. Hy hatred of your socialist welfare state is a long story...
