OK, so our new p.o.s. 'assault' weapon law says you have to register them as an 'assault weapon' unless you make them 'featureless'. Is there any legal means of making a AK-47 'featureless'? Thx.
No. Making a firearm "featureless" means to not have the "features" that make a firearm "assault weapon" under California law. If the magazine fed firearm does not have qualifying "features" listed under 12276.1 (a), it is not an assault weapon but a California legal firearm."featureless"?? What the hell does that mean? Make it NOT look like a gun?

There aren't any legal devices approved by the DOJ. There are only devices that have held up in court.although not officially approved by DOJ, you can go with a grip wrap fin that prevents your thumb from reaching the other side of the pistol grip... therefore making it not a pistol grip.
AK's are generally easier to convert than AR's.
If you are not on Calguns you probably should check it out. Some pretty innovative dudes on there.
IMHO, preventing the thumb from reaching around the pistol grip with the use of a "fin" may not meet the CA DOJ definition of pistol grip which states the "web" of trigger hand must be placed above the top of exposed portion of the trigger.you can go with a grip wrap fin that prevents your thumb from reaching the other side of the pistol grip... therefore making it not a pistol grip.
That's a good point, to be sure.There aren't any legal devices approved by the DOJ. There are only devices that have held up in court.
