50cals are illegal in the state of CA, fixed mag or not, as of 2005. Those that owned them prior had to register them by April 2006 or surrender them to law enforcement. Barrett responded with the 82A1 416 in an attempt to get around the ban. CA banned any rifle that shoots a 50 cal round. http://blog.riflegear.com/archive/2...82a1-fixed-magazine-semi-automatic-rifle.aspx
