Legislation
With a high capacity helical-fed magazine mounted on top of the weapon, the introduction of the Federal assault weapons ban made manufacture of the Calico family of weapons for sale to civilians illegal - except the .22 caliber rimfire models which were exempt from the ban - until the legislation expired on September 13, 2004, in accordance with its sunset provision.
The company is now allowed to build the firearm to their original configuration.[2]
