Anyone have any suggestion on the best way to remove the bullet button on a M&P Sport 2? I understand the red Loctite is used. With the new CA laws it may be best to install an ARMaglock or something similar.
Thanks

You could get a Neodymium magnet of the same size as the button to avoid damaging your rifle.

You come on to a firearms site and ask how to circumvent a state law? Even if you can you should not. I lived in Cal for all my life till moving to AZ. 50 years!. Now the Laws are different in Cal. In Cal you must do as they say or till you change atmosphere in the State .
My older Brother still lives there and says it is a big hassle! But for now the law is the law.

Instead of schooling someone...
The OP is asking about changing the obsolete system for a new CA compliant one.
Aren't the old bullet buttons grandfathered in under the previous laws if purchased before Jan 1?
I couldn't help but laugh to see the bullet button inventor had already released a new mag release to circumvent the new laws before they even come into effect.

Unfortunately, under SB880 the bullet button makes the AR an assault weapon if you have any one of three features- flash hider, collapsible stock, or pistol grip. So, as the law is written, if you don't want to go featureless, you either register it as an assault weapon or install something like the AR Mag lock or the Patriot mag release.

What does it entail to register your rifle as an "assault weapon"?

To register, you fill out a form and file it with DoJ and pay a small fee. Problem there is as long as it is registered, you can not sell it to a private party instate. Nor can you give it to anyone-this includes leaving it to some one in your will. It can be sold out of state. Technically, it is possible once registered to de-register it by modding it to comply with the law.
Right now, I'm figuring on getting the ARmaglock, which has been around since 2014. And I'm planning on going with a fixed stock and muzzle brake to be one step ahead.

Nothing being discussed here is * Circumventing* anything. The discussion is about Complying with a Statute exactly as written. The fact that the process is so convoluted and silly is not the fault of the OP or other law abiding citizens, but of the Cali Legislature.

Just for information the solution I found was a #10 spanner bit found in a lot of cheap screwdriver bit sets. I filed down the tips just a little to fit and used it with a nut driver and was able to unscrew it. It still took some effort to turn it but it did come out without any damage to anything.
I picked up an Original S&W Sport that came from CA. It had the awful mag release and a 10 round mag. I knew this going in but the price was unbelievable. I tried heat on the release and ended up just drilling the release out and replacing it with a "normal" release.

Here's what I did to remove the BB
So, I got rid of my bullet button but had a heck of a time removing it. I have a bullet button wrench, it broke under the torque. I made one with a .22 shell...it broke. I grinded a #10 spanner bit to fit. It fit perfectly but broke...I did this after heating up with heat gun and a soldering iron. I finally had it and decided to punch and drill it from the other side. Success. The RED threadlock used was a nightmare. Be careful if you plan on removing your BB this way. You can easily damage the finish if your drill slips.
