There is also a way to legally use the 30 rounders in CA. You can have finger-detachable magazines (CA PC 12276.1(a)(1)), including legally-owned (or legally borrowed) high capacity mags (even 30 rounders!) (CA PC 12020(a)).

The way you do it is to lose the "evil" features (Pistol Grip, Thumbhole Stock, Folding or Telescoping Stock, Grenade Launcher or Flare Launcher, Flash Suppressor, Forward Pistol Grip.) (CA PC 12276.1(a)(1)(A-F)) Most of these are trivial to replace, for example muzzle brake replaces flash hider, collapsible stock can be drilled and pinned, etc. Replacing the pistol grip's the real challenge.

On the AR-15 however there are three products currently in production that can replace the pistol grip. This is one example:







You cannot use the large capacity mags in a bullet button rifle, that'd be a felony (CA 12776.1(a)(2)). The rifle has to have the "evil" features removed, and it must have the standard mag release.
