So in states with a 10-round limit for semi-autos and a bullet button for magazine fed semi-autos, there are other options:
The Mossberg scout-style rifle in .223. They use AR mags but, since they are not semi-auto, they do not require a bullet button. The bolt action can be cycled almost as quickly as a lever and you can do a mag swap as fast as a conventional AR.
But you can do that one better. Just build up a 'featureless' AR as permitted by the CA DOJ. Go to the calguns.com web site but essentially the AR must have a fixed stock, no pistol grip and the barrel end must not be a flash-hiding type. There are posts of such conforming types and kits to deal with the grip/buffer change. So long as your AR (and the gun ends up looking a bit odd, but it still works exactly the same) meets those specifications, you do not need a bullet button. Additionally, if you own any pre-ban 30 round magazines, you can use them in such a configuration. I built one and I think it looks pretty cool. Add one of those quick change barrel things from Dolos (I have no affiliation) and you have a conforming AR that can be reconfigured from a .223/5.56 to a 300 BLK in 15 seconds and use 30 round mags if you legally own them.
Again, check with calguns.com and do some reading. I am neither an attorney, a gunsmith or an FFL (insert perfunctory Holiday Inn reference *here*) so make sure you are following the rules.
