All Colt AR-style lowers are on Appendix A--bringing it in is a felony. The "Target" lower also appears on Appdx. B. If you swapped the lower out with what is called an "Off-List Lower" (OLL), then it would be let in. However, the State has a list of "EVIL" features that distinguishes a semiautomatic rifle from an "Assault Weapon", like a flash hider, pistol grip or thumbhole stock, folding or collapsible stock, forward pistol grip, flare or grenade launcher. If your AR-style lower is not on the proscribed list, and you want to keep all those Evil features, you can do so by turning your rifle into a "fixed mag" rifle. This is usually done by the addition of a "bullet button", which requires a pointy tool--(or a pointy bullet tip, hence the name)--to remove it, as the mag drop button cannot be accessed without it. If you prefer to be able to drop your mags quickly, then you can make your rifle "Featureless" by removing the flash hider (a compensator or muzzle break is allowed, as long as it doesn't hide the flash too), removing the pistol grip or making it ungrippable (as defined by statute), using a fixed-length stock, etc.
Possession of hi-cap mags is as criminal as the use of. Sell them before you arrive.
Not a problem as long as you don't have "hi-cap" (more than 10 rounds) mags.
Yes, unless you have prison gang-rape fantasies.
No question is too silly when referring to guns and California! There are laws pertaining to Airsoft, but I don't know them, as I don't own any of them.
Also, there are numerous local laws and restrictions, although most of them are under legal challenges. California is a "May Issue" state, which means that your ability to carry concealed is entirely up to the whims of your county sheriff. Open carry was just outlawed, including unloaded open carry.
And then there is the infamous drop list. I'll let you look that up yourself, because discussing it makes me do what your avatar does...
Do you really not have no choice in this? There are other jobs. Calguns.net is so very active because the serfs here understand how precarious our rights are, and, because many of the laws are poorly written, there are numerous loopholes around those laws, such as the bullet button (there is a fairly large industry devoted just to Cali workarounds). Also check out crpa.org , our state NRA affiliate.
There are a few short-term advantages. The aforementioned "Drop list" means that certain makes and models are very hard to buy here, since a store can't sell them if they aren't on the list (except as consignment items). They can be sold at private face-to-face sales (which still require the presence of a FFL and a sh!tload of paperwork and fees). If you own some of these guns before moving here, you can sell them at a substantial markup because there's no other way for us serfs to get them.
Our gunshows are the most pathetic things you've ever seen, except maybe if you're from New Jersey, NYC, or Illinois. A lot of vendors won't come to them because half their inventory is illegal here, and because there is a 10-day waiting period to do the transfer, which is a total PITA if the FFL is from another state.
One other thing: Is your job 100% certain? Because there aren't any spare jobs once you get here. I wish I was joking about this; I've worked 2 months out of the last 2.5 years. Unless you're a lawyer--that type seems to be in constant demand...
What part of the state will you be in?
