Is it legal with paddle grip and removable magazines? I was trying to keep up with CA laws when I lived there but it’s been a while. The older I get the more stuff falls out of my head
Does the paddle grip make it featureless (aside from needing 10 round mags)? No collapsing stock, vertical grip, or flash suppressor so does that fit the definition?

As long as the muzzle device is not a flash suppressor, he'd be able to take it to Cali in that configuration. The FALMR would also work. IIRC, he did testing on the L1A1, as I had told him during development about my concerns about compatibility, and the dimensions worked with it. The removable trigger guard was the only potential issue I saw. We figured out solutions for metric FALs, which he decided not to market, ultimately, due to production difficulties, but honestly, I doubt most cops would look past the FALMR device itself.

Yes. If you eliminate the features, you can have detachable magazines. I went fixed-mag with a charger-guide just because I wanted to keep it more practical in terms of handling.
If his muzzle device is a brake, and he has that fin on the grip, then it is Cali-legal as pictured.
California forbids the following features, for reference:
-pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action (the regs on how that's defined are why certain oddly shaped grips, or grips with fins, are not considered pistol grips)
-flash suppressor
-grenade or flare launcher
-forward pistol grip (the regs include AFGs here, IIRC)
-telescoping or folding stock
-thumbhole stock
If it has a detachable magazine setup (which includes any mags that can be removed without disassembly of the action, even if normally they'd be considered fixed), it cannot have any of these features. If it has a fixed-mag, as long as the fixed mag does not hold more than 10 rounds, and the OAL is at least 30 inches (the latter also applies to detachable mag guns) in shortest firing configuration, then it's GTG as well.
