California Penal Code Section 12276.1
You can get a "real" AR-15 but it has to be a "California Legal" one. I.e. check out this page and read the blue text that tells you what their California Legal option is. Olympic Arms AR15 Flat Top Carbine
Here is a quote from someone who assembled their own California Legal AR-15:
So yes, you can have one. Basically just need the magazine lock, or make it look lame as shit by removing all the "evil features' prohibited in the law.
You'd definately rather this than a .22
Buying a .22 AR-15 is lame as shit. It screams poseur. If you want a .22, buy a .22 rifle. A nice varmint gun or a target plinker. Nothing wrong with that, I'd like one. Buy buying a .22 AR-15 (unless it is for your kid) is like buying a Yamaha R-1 but getting a 50cc motor installed under the fairings so nobody knows. Not cool.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Here is a quote from someone who assembled their own California Legal AR-15:
The Assault Weapons Ban in California bans specific makes and models of rifles by name. If you did not own one of those rifles before the ban was passed in 2000 then you can not legally own one in California now. Since new rilfe manufacturers and models are created all the time, it was difficult for the California lawmakers to keep the list up to date. In order to handle this situation, they also banned any rifle that has specific characteristics that are common with the types of rifles they were intending to ban. These characteristics, commonly referred to as "evil features" consist of things such as pistol grips, flash-hiders, and collapsible or folding stocks. The primary feature they were concerned with was a removable magazine. If your rifle does not have a removable magazine then it can have any and all of the "evil features". If your rifle does have a removeable magazine, then it cannot have any evil features. A product such as the Bullet Button creates a fixed magazine rifle. The MonsterMan Grip does not meet the definition of a pistol grip. By building your rifle using one of these products or other similar ones, taking care to fully understand the law, you can configure a legal AR-15 rifle for use in the state of California.
So yes, you can have one. Basically just need the magazine lock, or make it look lame as shit by removing all the "evil features' prohibited in the law.
