1) As long as its not registered (or built) as anything with a shoulder stock on it, it can likely legally be built into a pistol. There is no requirement that a pistol be labeled as such (look at all the rest of your pistols if you have any.)

2) If you can find an FFL in CA willing to DROS it to you as an interstate intrafamillial roster-exempt pistol. The Federal 4473 would be an other/receiver. Ordinarily it wouldn't be possible to DROS it as a handgun in CA due to the roster, but intrafamillial is exempt.

3) ALL interstate transfers of firearms are required to go through an FFL.

I think from a purely legal perspective (considering both federal and CA law) this is totally doable. The hard part will be finding an FFL willing to do the transfer.

Even with getting a receiver for free as a gift from your father, I think there are less expensive alternatives to acquiring an AR Pistol in CA.
Please give examples. Thank you.
