Large Capacity Magazine - Senate Bill 1446 goes into effect on 7/1/17 which bans "large-capacity" magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds and owners can:
- Remove the large-capacity magazine from the state
- Sell the large-capacity magazine to a licensed firearms dealer
- Destroy the large-capacity magazine
- Surrender the large-capacity magazine to a law enforcement agency for destruction
Owners can also sell or give large capacity magazine to current/honorably retired sworn peace officers, law enforcement agencies, gunsmiths, historical society/museums, armored vehicle companies - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ith-new-california-laws.815370/#post-10443221
On 12/16/16, California DOJ proposed "Emergency" regulations to provide one more option - https://www.nraila.org/articles/201...e-than-10-rounds-but-none-for-assault-weapons
According to the proposal, owners could permanently modify magazines to hold 10 rounds or less - http://www.guns.com/2016/12/19/california-doj-proposes-emergency-regs-on-magazines/
Manufacturing includes both fabricating a magazine and assembling a magazine from a combination of parts, including, but not limited to, the body, spring, follower, and floor plate or end plate.
- For box magazines, use of block and rivet/epoxy/weld and make floor plate non-removable
- Drum magazines would be loaded with epoxied dummy rounds and sealed permanently
- Tubular magazines (excluding lever action/.22 caliber) be plugged with dummy rounds riveted in place
- Shotguns to base capacity on 2.75" shells but Kel Tec KSG and SRM Arms Model 1216 are exempted
The manufacturing, importation into the state, offering for sale, keeping for sale, exposing for sale, giving, and lending of a large capacity magazine is controlled. No person may participate in these activities without a permit issued by the Department of Justice. For exceptions, see Penal Code §§12020(b)(19)-(32)
It appears those emergency regulations have been withdrawn. (The ban is still going into effect July 1. The withdrawal is of the regulations only)

I'm willing to bet money they'll be back again.
