Welcome
Welcome to California; it's a shame about your collection.

BTW, ATF does sit at ranges in California, looking for assualt weapons, so if you do theoretically bring it to Cali, you'll only be able to shoot it out of state, or in the desert or at a friend's property.

The Sa58 is a bit more complicated; if the reciever (the actual gun with serial number) is not listed on the California DOJ list of named assault weapons then it can be imported provided that the mag requires a tool to remove it and it doesnt have a capacity greater than 10 rounds.
It is my understanding that an "assault rifle" that is fixed with a magazine that "requires a tool to remove" becomes an illegal assault rifle when you remove that magazine. So unless you can load it without removing the magazine your still in illegal possession of an assault rifle when you remove the magazine without properly removing the barrel and other things first.Making the FAL CA compliant shouldnt be too bad, though. DOIJ says the magazine is not detachable as long as it requires a tool to remove. So you could weld like sheet metal around the mag release button, too big for a finger to fit through, and then make it so you have to put a metal rod through to get the magazine out. You could attach the metal rod to the pistol grip, too.

The http://www.freewebs.com/socal_websho...fornia_fal.htm modification only makes it legal to have, on a technicality, it still is illegal to use unless you can (and do) load it without removing the magazine.

I dont know, my friend that lives in Cali told me ATF, and he's usually very reliable. Maybe CA DOJ agents, I'm not sure.
Umm, why would a federal agency hang around to enforce state law?
Did you mean CA DOJ agents? This is how rumors get started.
