CA law states that a long-gun needs to be at least 30" compared to the Fed requirement of 26".
You're fine, enjoy the Mini-14....I once owned a Mini-14 Ranch, blued with a folding stock, bi-pod, scope, 30 rd. mag....funniest damn rifle I ever owned. I sold it before CA banned 'AW' features and over 10-rd mags. Kicking myself over that, and letting go of my various AKs, ARs over the years. |

Even worse, if you have a folding stock in CA the rifle is measured with the stock folded. Under fed law it's with the stock fully extended. I agree the Mini-14 as described is CA legal. |

From what I understand, SB23 applies to a semi-auto rifle(or shotgun) that accepts a detachable mag and has 1 or more of the banned features(pistol grip, flash hider, folding stock etc.) So, I don't think a M1A w/ a flash hider would be CA legal under SB23. Muzzle brakes and bayonets are CA legal. P.S. I mis-read the original post, a flash hider on a Mini-14 wouldn't be CA legal. |

I don't think it's ONE or more, I think it's 2 or more. Example: M1A's sold here STILL have flash-hiders, but have to pistol grip. Cali legal FALS have no detachable mag, but have pistol grip. Get what I'm tryin' to say? |

Every Springfield M1A sold to PRK has muzzle brake, NO flash-hiders. One evil will keep you out. |

Well, I guess I'll have to get my Mini re-barreled cause that M-14 style
flash hider (muzzle brake??) makes me some kind of criminal. That was the closest thing to a legal "assault" waepon I could take to the range here in Kalifornia... Just great.....
