I just got my new state regs. book this week. CA is 58 triple column pages.
Though neither the MG-34 nor MG-42 are specifically mentioned in section 12276, they probably fall under section 12276.1.
(1) A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any of the following:
(A) A pistol grip that protrudes con****uously beneath the action of the weapon.
(E) A flash suppressor.
CA law defines a Magazine as: “any ammunition feeding device.” That would seem to include belts.
Any CA board members know of any specific court rulings?

Here is a quote from the TNW web site on the MG34......
"This firearm will shoot semi-auto only and cannot be converted to full-auto. This firearm is
BATF approved and may be legally owned in all states except California."

He was the first to come out with it so I would guess he would know.

Yugoslavian M53
Century won't sell the semi-auto version of the M53 in California (and several other states). WLA follows their guidance with sales on the semi-auto M53 receivers.
If you try and remove the flashider (just unscrew it) the firearm(M53) won't function.
MarColMar and WLA are looking into a "California" model of the semi-auto PKM.

granted i am about a moron when in regard to the 42/53, why will it not work without the flash hider? i have shot a few full auto 42s but that is abotu my experience with them.

the flash hider is also the booster retainer, so you need to cut off the cone and use the bottom section. If you make a grip with no handle / pistol grip it eliminates that problem
I was working on spade grips with a gripless fcg box but there wasn't enough interest in it for me to spend the time and $$$ to finish developing it.

Pirate, has anyone thought of making a "sporter" type buttstock/grip assembly for the 34/42/53? Something like a thumbhole stock, it would eliminate the "pistol grip", yet still provide for a buttstock and grip.

I didn't list it in my first post, didn't want to go there.
They may be available, overseas.

Not as far as I know since the pg problem is a california thing. In reality they were meant to be fired either prone from a bipod or from a tripod, not from the shoulder like a rifle. sort of like a 1919a4 with a stock on it.
the most practical solution is spade grips.
