It's possible he could have gotten it at a gun show. We have one that's monthly in the area. You pay to get in and as long as you have the cash, you can walk out with whatever you want. No background check, no questions asked, no waiting period.
I'm sure there are gun shows in a number of states.
It doesn't work like that in California. You must transfer firearms through a federally licensed dealer, with a DROS (dealer record of sale), and state background check and a federal background check.
Private party transfers MUST be done in this way.

Is it not possible that he didn't get it in California or in his home state? Just because he lives in CA, and had this weapon, doesn't have to mean that he bought it there.edit on 2-11-2013 by daryllyn because: (no reason given)

Ah, I see. As someone who doesn't live in CA, and only recently reading up on it, it seems as though certain combinations of accessories are permissible, while other are not. Odd.
Anyway, yeah, that rifle very well may be legal. My understanding is that magazine capacity is one of the bigger deciders on what you can or can't have on your rifle.
