Saw a CA-legal Robinson Arms M-96 Expeditionary rifle at Trader Sports
in San Leandro...the only problem is that they had to remove the
pistol grip (though the small metal stud that it mounts on is still
there).  Given where the stock stops and the receiver begins, it does
not lend itself to good trigger finger placemnt unless you've got very
long fingers.  I was told that trying to add a grip to it would land
you to jail, though if you can throw out almost $1500 for something
that's marginally functional from an ergonomics standpoint, you'd
probably have no trouble making bail.  Saw the same sort of gripless
thing in the form of a semi-auto MP5 knock-off at a range some time
ago.

  Yep you can see it as www.robarm.com, I saw it and started to laugh. I mean
chuckel at the perversion that is CA law. Glad I moved, not so glad I ended up
in Idaho but glad to get away from CA. My M-96 has the grip and is legal here.
I wonder if some wooden part can be fixed on the CA legal one to make it little
more fucntional, kind of like the pistal grip on the later 1903's.
  Have you seen the CA legal FN FAL's? Almost as funny.

I saw this same rifle at Traders.  The only problem is that they still
won't sale it to civilians.  I asked and the guy I spoke with said
that it is CA legal, but they still would sale it to a civilian.
Though, it makes me wonder why they had the version without the pistol
grip.

I can reach the trigger easily, but $1500 is way out there
just like you said. Also, these days Kel-Tec's  started to
trickle in, so there is no reason whatsoever to bother with
M-96 Californian or FAB-10. I wish someone came up with a
5.56mm SKS conversion though...

Just heard that now Traders claims it's a CA legal rifle.

Just goes to show you that if you ask one guy, you'll get one answer.
Ask another, you'll get another answer.

Forget who said what unless that who happens to be the CA-DOJ
stating that the gun is legal on Department letterhead...

Ok, good point!  Too bad you're right, though.
