Buying an ar pistol lower
I am trying to buy a registered pistol lower, I have come to a deal with a guy who has one, it is registered as a pistol, although it was through the single shot exemption. I have been told that the ppt can’t be done because of that exemption. Am I out of luck? How can this be transferred? A few gun shops said they would not do the paperwork because of it and would have to change it to a rifle lower and that totally defeats the purpose. Please help if you know anything

The only AR pistol worth buying is one that has previous DROS paperwork showing semi auto handgun, and *not* frame only. That is my opinion. And few FFLs will touch anything else.
There is no fix for your particular issue. That lower is worthless. Perhaps if the seller assembled it into a complete single shot pistol you could find a FFL to transfer it as roster exempt single shot again (straight pull bolt action??), then you'd have an off roster single shot pistol that could never legally be converted to semi auto in CA. This is what you want: Last edited by SkyHawk; 11-25-2020 at 10:02 PM.. |

If it was recently DROS’d as a “single shot handgun”, then it must stay a single shot, dimensionally compliant handgun.
If it was purchased back during the days of “SSE 1.0”, then it’s just a private party transaction and the dealer needs to DROS it correctly.

As was stated above, that lower is worth $125, the same price as any other lower in California. It is only the proof of semi auto pistol DROS status that makes it valuable.

I would not buy one like that and likely many others would not either. So hopefully you are getting it cheap. |

I'm still waiting for someone to explain why a virgin stripped receiver that is DROSed as a "rifle", "pistol" or "shotgun" makes it any one of them when, it clearly does NOT meet the legal definition of any of them. SO, until that happens, I contend it is 100% legal to build any legal firearm you want to from a virgin stripped receiver as long as you are not violating any other laws. So, pre 2014, I contend it was legal to purchase a virgin lower, manufacture it into a roster exempt handgun and later, change it to a semi auto. I also contend that today, one could legally DROS a virgin Rem 700 receiver, DROSed as a "rifle" and build a single shot, bolt action pistol with it. I have spoken to ATF and they don't give a rat's azz how a virgin receiver is DROSed in CA. So, can someone please post the actual CA law making it illegal to do so.
