Best Answer

An actual assault rifle is a select fire (full auto or burst) firearm - you'll never get approved for an NFA permit in California.

California has had a so-called "assault weapons" ban on civilian semi automatic firearms since 1989. You can still get the same rifles, for the most part, but they have to be California compliant. The receiver must be from a manufacturer not on the California Department of "Justice"'s list of banned models and manufacturers, and the rifle either must have a "bullet button" installed (thus making it a fixed magazine rifle under California law), or it must be featureless, meaning it can't have any of the following features:

  • Flash suppressor
  • Pistol grip
  • Forward grip
  • Collapsible or folding buttstock

You can buy them at 18, same as any other state.

Is the ruger sr-556 legal in California?

The Ruger SR-556 is not a "listed" Assault Weapon. However, the rifle must be modified so as to not run afoul of SB-23 assault weapon by configuration status. In order to be a CA-compliant centerfire rifle, a "Bullet Button" or other mag lock device must be installed prior to import (important note: DO NOT use a high-capacity magazine in a maglock-equipped rifle); alternatively, the upper may be separated from the lower assembly for importation and a maglock installed at the receiving FFL prior to installing the upper on the lower and assembling a "centerfire rifle". One may possess a rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine (a rifle without a maglock) if the rifle is otherwise [evil] "feature-less" (a rifle with none of the following: folding or collapsable stock, thumbhole stock, pistol grip, forward pistol grip, flash hider, flare/grenade launcher). For more information, see www.calguns.net and http://www.calguns.net/caawid/flowchart.pdf.
