    OP just take it easy. Some read the law as not banning things like BB's, but things that turn your BB into a BB that functions like a standard mag release. After reading the law that's where I think this is headed. If you want to turn your rifle into a single shot, just remove the BB from the lower receiver. It is now a single shot.

    BTW, they want them to be transferred face to face, but for a nominal fee can export....
    I meant more like "do what they've done," not necessarily, "buy from them."

    So how many people have been killed with rifles that had bullet buttons installed? It must be a bunch for them to move legislation this fast and putting aside all of the “important” work that needs to be done.

    I would either sell the rifle (honestly what's the point of a single shot ar15? You could get a nice accurate bolt action and be waaaay better off) or seriously consider moving. Really those are the only options.

    Agreed, a huge reason why I moved from CA and never looked back.

    open response to all responders of this thread...

    ****NOTE****: up front...this is a thank you for all you guys.

    my wife and i often visit AZ...(mostly Yuma). we have traveled and hunted throughout the state extensively and we dearly would love to re-locate to there...however...right now it's not practical.

    i was at a gun shop in Prescott recently and i overheard a salesperson tell a customer: "You may LEGALLY buy ANY gun made, in Arizona...to include silencers, full auto and 100 round magazines, if you wish."

    currently i have BA, tactical, EBR's ranging from .22 lr up to the 7.62x51/.308.

    since purchasing my AR(M4 with heavy barrel, wylde chamber and 1:9 twist rate, etc.) a while back...i've found my preference has swung toward the AR(M4) platform; i wish to keep it even if i have to do stupid things to it to pacify the state of Kaliphornia. i can live without semi-auto, if that's what it takes.( i am no longer a combat soldier or someone who has a need for semi-auto. BUT...i do NOT advocate outlawing it!)

    i believe the AR platform is the best development for ANY style shooting a person could want to do: the pistol grip, magazine location/operation and overall comfort...i was trained with M1 Garand and M1 Carbine while in the service...

    incidently...i use the A2 sights and buttstock configuration

    my 7.62x51/.308 weighs in at 14 lbs......not very practical to 'tote' around...unless i figure i'm going to be shooting 500yds+ and sitting in one place for a LONG time: most of the shooting i do now is less than 200 yards.

    and, last but not least, i, like many, have lots of $$$$ tied up in it.

    once again...thanks guys

    There was a Canadian company that was making (or at least marketing) pump action ARs several years ago. I don't know how that would work with the California law, but it seems that option is better than those straight pull actions.
