One of the key points in the definition of a so-called assault weapon is its capability to accept detachable mags.
Now, if the same semi-auto firearm had a fixed mag, it would not be an "assault weapon", and could accept and have any and all of the "eeevil features" mentioned in the ban. For example, DSA makes an FAL with either a 10 or 20 rd fixed mag, loading via stripper clips through the top of the receiver. It's available in CA as a new purchase, whereas the regular, detachable mag FAL isn't. An M1 Garand uses 8-rd clips, so it can have a bayonet and a flash-suppressor. I'm not a lawyer, so check out the above. In addition, local and/or state laws may have an impact as well. Good luck! |

The AW ban does not apply. The ATF ruling of 922r or something or other does. Basicly you can't take a rifle sporterized and return it to it's full military style that wasn't importable. The only rifle that comes to mind like this and takes a detachable mag is an SKS. They are all in full military dress so it would be hard to make this sporting rifle non sporting. If you're asking about adding a folder to an SKS. you'll get alot of different answers. I'll pass on that for now.

Of course, none of the rifles affected by the 'assault weapons ban' are assault rifles, as none of them are select fire.
