So in live in CA, and I REALLY want an AK. It seems the SAIGA is the closest I can get because it "looks" less dangerous apperently. Now my question is, does anyone no the specific legality of them in CA. The "list" that I looked at said the Kalashnikov SAIGA was a no-go, but this one isn't on the list:

So, how exactly does that fit into the legal area. MY loval shop won't get me one. In fact I had been bugging them for months, and they finally told me that when the DOJ guy was in yesterday, he told them absolutely no way on SAIGAs. I have tried to explain to them that it is the ame as an "off list AR", which they actually DO carry, but it just seems like they don't understand. The DOJ guy said, that if he saw a SAIGA in their store, he would "send in a SWAT team".
I have talked to an online dealer that assured me they were legal in CA, and that he has shipped to several FFLs. If I don't mind driving a bit, then I can get him to sell me one, but my question is, where is the legality? Are they legal similar to the ARs, or is it such a grey area that I should jsut drop it?
