Is it legal for Active Duty members with PCS orders to California to bring "Assault Weapons" to California? It seems that each source that I read gives conflicting information.

Edit: I want to post an update on this. In order to bring an assault weapon, California requires that you must have a signature from the base commander that you need to possess the assault weapon for performance of military duties. Thus, it seems like this is a no go.

I’d contact these folks and modify the firearms to CA specs: https://www.sportsmansarms.net/2017-ca-compliance/
One way to go about owning a modern semi-automatic sporting rifle in California starting Jan 1 2017 is to buy/build them ‘featureless’. What this means is you take away any ‘evil feature’ per California standards. Features include a pistol grip, bullet button, flash hider, collapsable or folding stock and forward vertical pistol grip.

2LT (Join to see) I was stationed at Irwin and I have numerous firearms. I contacted the Provost Office before I left Fort Carson and sent them a list of all firearms. There is a range down by the horse stables that I used after every rotation. You can open and close the range yourself. You just need to complete a range safety class. Also, the AAFES at Irwin had a gun section. I purchased cases of CL V cheaper than any other store.
Check out the folks from Sportsman that I put up on this link. If you need to modify a firearm to be CA compliant then they can do
It for you. If not keep your firearms on Irwin and use the range. Best of luck to you in Atropia.

My suggestion would be to contact the local police departments close to where you will be stationed. They should be able to help you find the information you need in regards to applicable state and local firearms laws.
BTW- The best part of California is any road heading East out of that God-forsaken hellhole.

2LT (Join to see), welcome to Rally Point! I'm sure that you have found this thread you started to be as informative as it is entertaining. Good luck at Ft. Irwin. Hopefully someday you'll be stationed in The "United" States again.

Texas has a bunch of combat units at both Bliss and Hood. Bliss is the best place I have been for shooting.

I would request a duty station that wasn’t in a communist country like California. Seriously.!
If you can’t change duty stations, I would get communist compliant before going. The DOJ and the lawmakers there are ridiculous. You can’t make enough laws to keep dumb*** people safe.

Well, can use the old adage from the recently old Army, just in reverse: Don't Tell, Don't Ask. Hopefully, your tour in Kommifornia won't be forever. Like carrying a concealed weapon. If they can't see it, how do they know you have it.

First they are not "assault weapons" as those are illegal for anyone to hold in a civilian capacity. Second, you can make a few cosmetic changes and no longer fall under the unconstitutional Kalifornia laws. I have an AR556 which I bought in Kalifornia that came with an awful "fin" that made it impossible to conveniently shoot. It was legal with the fin. It iw also legal with a Thorsen stock that is much more convenient and gives a grip like my lever action rifle. Not as good as the actual AR design but reasonably convient and no longer meets the Kalifornia "assault weapon" definition. The stock is a definite thing you have to change there are a few other things you have to be careful about. No forward handle. No flash suppressor (but a compensator is OK). Check the rules make a few changes and you don't have a Kalifornia "assault weapon".
