i know shotguns can legally have pistol grips in ca., but didn't realize it was because of design. how is M-16 grip different than 870 shot gun pistol grip and if the "870" was moded to fit other stocks would it be legal in ca.?

i understand rimfire rifles are exempt... or not included... in the assult classification?
