This doesn't look like any AR15 that I have seen

but at least it's now off the streets

Yeah, it does. Fairly common configuration and completely useless in my world. About 9000% percent illegal in CA I would imagine. Too bad we don’t learn anything about who had it.

AR - 15 pistol.

Yes those are probably not legal in California but they are in most States. The ATF has classified those as pistols.
