Q. I live in California
and was looking to buy a California legal
AR using a bullet button. Its just
hard to figure out what ones you have in stock
and which ones can be made legal and which
can not. Is DPMS CA legal? Can you give me
a list of all the AR15 rifles that are California
legal?
A. We sell California
legal "off listed" ARs and AKs and
also other firearms like the Saiga 12.
These are not banned in California because
they are not included on the California Dept.
of Justice banned firearms list. We make them
California legal for residents of California
with the addition of the bullet button. (Many
thanks to the folks at Calguns for spreading
the word, including posting an official letter
from the California DOJ firearms division
confirming that such firearms can be made
legal at customer request.)
What does a bullet button do?
The bullet button is not really a "button"
at all. It is a cover with a hole in it, and
it sits over the mag release. It is also referred
to as a "mag lock." In order to
get the mag to release, you need to stick
a "tool" like a screwdriver or dowel
into the hole in order to activate the mag
release. You could also use the tip of a bullet
for this purpose, so then you can call it
a bullet button. Note: The bullet button does
not change the way your mags work. To be more
clear, it does NOT turn your rifle into a
single shot by any means. It only affects
how the mags eject from your gun.
How much does it cost?
- We charge our dealer cost for bullet button
and installation.
- For almost all the rifles this price is
$25, which is our dealer cost for bullet
buttons for all AR15 and AK rifles; however...
- Some bullet buttons may cost us more.
For example, HK USC Carbine bullet buttons
are $36-$40. Beretta CX4 bullet buttons
are $35-$50 because these require a lot
of tinkering and time to get them to fit.
What about the hicaps?
- We are prohibited by law from shipping
hicap mags over 10 rounds to California.
- If your rifle package states that it has
a mag over 10RD, then the mag will not be
included.
- There is no price adjustment made to your
order in this case and you are not buying
a hicap mag from us.
- We will offer to sell the Calif. legal
10RD or 5RD mags to you at our dealer cost
if you purchase them when you buy your firearm
from us.
What about rifles with folding stocks?
- We pin any folding stock so it is not
folding. Therefore, your rifle meets California
length requirements (must be 30 inches or
longer). This is FREE.
- We do not modify collapsible or 6-position
stocks. These are already legal in California
"as is," because when fully collapsed
the rifle is not under 30 inches in length.
Can my firearm be returned to original condition?
- Yes. Your firearm is actually always in its originally manufactured condition.
We don't destroy anything. No "manufacturing" or "remanufacturing"
is done at all. Therefore, if you leave
California and want to return your fireamr
to original condition, you will be able
to do so.
Will my warranty still be valid?
- Yes. Your warranty that comes with your
firearm will be valid.
Customer Request for Bullet Button
After purchasing your firearm, you need
to request catalog item 1pszBB or another
similar catalog number. This item is the customer
request for installation of bullet button
/ mag lock on the firearm already purchased,
after the customer has purchased the rifle
or shotgun. This item pays for the bullet
button and installation for buyers of rifles
and shotguns that need a bullet button/mag
lock to be California compliant. This item
is only available to our California buyers
of firearms that require a bullet button to
make their modern sporting rifle California
legal. We choose the best bullet button for
your particular firearm as required by California
law after you have purchased your firearm
at PersonalSecurityZone.com.
In the case of this alteration, the work is being performed at the request
of the customer after the purchase has been
made. The firearm has not been modified previous
to its sale to the customer. There is no manufacturing
involved in the installation of the bullet
button / mag lock. This alteration is not
performed as a regular course of business
or trade, and it is performed only upon special
request of the customer after the purchase
of the firearm. This alteration is not performed
for the purpose of sale or distribution of
the firearm.
Which firearms can be made legal
upon customer request after purchase by adding
bullet button for California compliance?
As far as the rifles go, the Remington, S&W,
LWRC, STAG, CMMG, Olympic Arms, Remington
and more all make rifles that can be made
legal in California. Also able to be made
legal are some Rugers and Bushmaster ACR and
Carbon 15 AR rifles are also legal-with-bullet-buttonl!
Below are links to today's current stock for
ARs by each of these manufacturers.
Please note that all the DPMS AR rifles are
not California legal at all, because they
are listed on the CA
DOJ banned list by company name. DPMS
had the unfortunate misfortune of being completely
blacklisted when the DOJ list was drawn up.
Firearm models and company names must be "not-named"
on the list in order to be legal in California.

Ruger rifles in stock. California legal
Ruger semi-auto centerfire rifles include
Mini-14 as well as AR15 rifles. Regarding
Mini-14 rifles, the Mini-14 is not an assault
weapon as per Calif. law. Therefore you do
not need a bullet button on a Mini-14. As
long as you choose a Mini-14 with no flash
suppressor / flash hider (but a muzzle break
is legal in Calif.) and as long as your Mini-14
has mags that are 10RD or less, it is legal
in California.
Beretta CX4
. Rarely in stock these days, until Beretta
gets their new product line in order, but
the good news is that CX4 is long enough to
meet the California requirements, as long
as you do not remove Beretta's stock spacer
(which comes already installed). Please note,
we do not put spacers in any hicap mags and
can not ship the hicap mags to California
unless you are LE and your FFL has a hicap
permit. See more notes about hicaps above.
There are more manufacturers and models that
we can ship to California. If you think a
particular model can be made California compliant
with bullet button, and if you would like
to make sure before placing your order, please
email us the catalog no and your request and
we'll look it up to make sure.
