Humor me but in my gif above I AM removing the kingpin completely from the firearm. Rotating the receiver away and then dropping the magazine. By your definition the Kingpin is the ONLY legal takedown pin out there because it is actually removed.
When will Maglock Gen2 and KingPin for AR10 be available?

I was told it was supposed be in the market by the end of July.

A semi auto is also not capable of cycling and reloading while the safety is on... lol! But it is still a whole and complete semi auto.

This is just like the argument that we could not “attach” a bullet button tool to the firearm because it became part of the firearm. If the tool is attached the mechanism does not require a tool anymore it has been modified to not require one by the presence of the attached “tool”.

The upper is very much attached while the rear pin is open and upper rocked forward until the forward pin is open and upper removed from lower. The firearm is still whole and retains all its characteristics. It’s a very slippery issue to argue and I won’t be that test case.

Your point is invalid since hh (2) covers that

(2) A mechanically whole semiautomatic firearm disabled by a gun lock or other firearm safety device is a semiautomatic firearm.

Popeye...can you provide what regulation does in fact say what the "distance" upper & lower would need to be separated?

If there is such a regulation....I missed that memo..

There is no such requirement. The distance is not addressed specifically therefore any distance that can be demonstrated to satisfy the other requirements will suffice. It could be 30 inches. it could be a millimeter. So long as:

Quote:
For example, disassembling the action on a two part receiver, like that on an AR-15 style firearm, would require the rear take down pin to be removed, the upper receiver lifted upwards and away from the lower receiver using the front pivot pin as the fulcrum
... [such that] ...
the fire control assembly is detached from the action in such a way that the action has been interrupted and will not function
If you are concerned about the "distance", separate them far enough that the hammer cannot contact the bolt when in the released position. That, in certain terms, demonstrates they have been detached to the extent that their function has been interrupted

(I am not a lawyer. That is not legal advice)

I didn't think there was any "defined distance" the upper has to be separated, in terms of a measured distance.

I was asking Popeye4 where he got the info he posted that there was as another person also asked.

yeah I am not aware of any measured distance being stated in any regulation

It isn't defined as a finite dimension, it is implied by saying the fire control group is separated from the action. I am assuming that means the hammer can't strike the firing pin (I don't know if that assumption is valid, but it seems reasonable to me). That means the two halves need to be separated by more than a mere few thousandths of an inch. I haven't measured the height of the hammer in my rifle, but the distance required to separate the receiver with the ARMaglock Gen 2 is about 0.025", which I figure doesn't disengage the hammer. The intent of the Kingpin is to allow the receiver to be slightly separated with the bolt retracted, which seems to be where it might step across the line.

And no, I don't want to be the test case, so I've uninstalled the Kingpin until either this gets resolved or I leave California.

I am not sure everyone understand that this has absolutely nothing to do with the Kingpin. It doesnt matter what pin you have on there. The fact of the matter is that I dont even need to have ANY pin in the rear takedown.

Lock the bolt back and go ahead and separate the receivers and you WILL be able to open it enough for the Maglock to release the magazine even with a standard takedown pin, a juggernaut, a cal catch, a Cross Armory, etc, etc, etc.

The kicker here is that the bolt is in NO position to fire since it is over the hammer thus by default the action is interrupted.

Again this is the only system that allows for mag changes when it absolutely cannot fire but I dont need the Kingpin to achieve this.

By your definition, that anytime the bolt is locked back the action is interrupted, why is a maglock even needed then?

Bolt locks back on the last round. Drop the mag.

Because the law says we have to have the mag "locked".... That's why.

This conversation is why I prefer the locked, featureless single shot assaulty type weapon.

If you are interested in converting your firearm to this configuration....
don't contact me!!

I rarely chime in on conversations like these, but been trying to bone up on CA since I will be moving back here soon (I know....)
Frankly I find it interesting, mostly because it scares the living piss out of me how vague and confusing all of these laws are.

I've been reading hours and hours of posts and PC (which hurts the brain) so forgive me for not quoting directly, rather paraphrasing a member's concern over the legality of removing a fixed magazine (with the receivers open/action interrupted etc) and now creating a transitional period where you have created an AW because it no longer has a "fixed magazine contained in"
I get that, but wouldn't it, the second you reinserted another magazine, just be a fixed magazine rifle again? The PC quote about "missing ammunition or ammunition feeding devices, it is still a semi-automatic", true, but without a magazine in there, how does that make it an AW? It still has a magazine lock device that will lock a magazine in again the second you put one in?

Not trying to stir the pot, just my thought and didn't see anybody else who brought it up.
