Probably, if I lived in CA and wanted a .223 would probably just go for something like the Kel Tec SU-16CA (featureless so can have a regular detachable magazine without a bullet button). However, a lot of people will go to any lengths to use an AR-15 pattern gun. A stripper clip compatible upper would have the advantage that you could use AR-15 lowers (with some kind of fixed magazine release so the mag wasn't readily removable), barrels, handguards, grips and stocks. Mounting optics would be a bit of an issue though. Anyway, I assume it is impossible or else someone would have probably already done it.
