The Califonia legal version of these weapons do not have a removeable magazine, flash suppressor, or a bayonet lug. Therefore are legal in the state of California.
I know I have used alot of them.[;)]
Actually Jim they did not ban all Semi-Automatic rifles. Only those "THEY" deemed as "assault" rifles. Said rifles are deemed "assault" by various items on the weapon. It is a three point system. The first is a given by simply being a semi-automatic rifle. The other 2 disqualifing points are any number of the following but not limited to. Pistol Grip, removeable magazine, bayonet lug, flash suppressor. Any semi-automatic rifle with 3 or more disqualifing features is listed as an assault weapon.

A bayonet lug is not an "evil feature" in California. Also, there are adapters that convert a detachable magazine into a fixed magazine that requires a tool to remove the magazine. The California definition of a fixed magazine includes one that requires the use of a tool to remove the magazine. A bullet tip is specifically mentioned as meeting the definition of a tool.
12276.1 (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following:
A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
A thumbhole stock.
A folding or telescoping stock.
A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
A flash suppressor.
A forward pistol grip.
A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches.
A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(B) A second handgrip.
A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning his or her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.
A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
A folding or telescoping stock.
A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.

"Assault weapon" does not include any antique firearm.
The following definitions shall apply under this section:
"Magazine" shall mean any ammunition feeding device.
