SBRs, SBSs and AOWs are legal in California. According to Mr. Bardell, the only NFA items not legal are suppressors.

Question: Once a rifle is SBR'd, is it still regulated by the Federal or California Assault Weapons Ban? If not, I see an awesome loophole !
Managed to track down an old PDF from Bardwell (thanks for the hint Hkmp5sd) that did indeed list CA as AOW friendly, but that was then, does anyone know if this is now??

I'm still searching, the Ca DOJ was useless

Yes it is. No loophole.
Psssniper,
Looks like you might be screwed. Check out "Article 6. Permits 12095. Permits for short-barreled shotguns; Good cause." in ATF's State Laws and Published Ordnances for California.

Is Ohio SBS friendly?
If so, where do I get the paperwork for purchase/transfer?
Thanks.
