Here in PA, BAR's are illegal for any type of hunting...ugghhh! Wondering where I can use my .338 " out west?". I did hunt for aoudad with it in Texas, late 1980's.
I agree, CA doesn't prohibit BARs. It's the magazine they are interested in (keeping it short). Springfield MA1s have to have the muzzle brake/ flash suppressor different for the CA model I know that but for the most part, any BAR hunting rifle will work in CA.
