MAS 49/56 CA legal modifications

**surpman1911** · 10-13-2013 12:13 PM

Unfortunately I live in this state with these outragious gun laws

. California law states that I can't have anything that "looks evil" on my gun. What would I need to have done to the rifle for it to be considered california legal? Could I get away with the muzzle break attatched because it's purpose is not to reduce the flash but simply the muzzle lift. Would I also need to have the grenade sights removed?
thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I'm not really sure to what you are referring. There is no law that says "looking evil" is illegal. I have not lived in CA for about 2 years, but when I was there I purchased a Yugo icon

SKS with a grenade launcher and bayonet. Brown even just vetoed down the detachable magazine thing. Also, wouldn't a MAS 49 still be covered under C&R?

Ok, I see what you are getting at. If it is in it's original configuration it should still fall under C&R though.

**surpman1911** · 10-13-2013 09:43 PM

Do the assault weapon laws include c&r rifles?

**surpman1911** · 10-14-2013 01:45 AM

And what I mean by things that look evil are the things that were banned that don't actually affect the performance of a rifle like we aren't allowed to have a thumb hole in the stock or pistol grips or in the case of the mas 49/56 the grenade launcher that can't be used anyway because there is absolutely no ammunition for it anywhere.
