STI frame import into CA

[smokeyfs]

Well I'm wondering if I can buy a STI frame off of Brownells and have it sent to my FFL, or since it isn't on the CA Handgun roster list it's a no go. What I. Wondering is that since it's a stripped frame will it be exempt from the roster

It's funny my friend was just texting me about this. Of course he's a
CZ fan boy who'd never
Turn his back on his Czech overlords

Lol thanks man, figured I would look a little deeper into it. I guess I am a CZ fan boy. The CZ TS are on the list. Now I have to find one in 40

Bare handgun frames are a no-go due to the roster.

2A zone might be able to help if you live in Socal. I don't know if he's still doing it. Here's the thread for SSE 1911 frame

Smokeyfs,

Handgun frames cannot normally be DROSed to you unless otherwise exempt.

Handgun frames could be DROSed to you as a rifle frame but that frame would
then forever be contaminated in CA and if you built it into a handgun you'd risk
California SBR charges.

Even if the frame in question is a Rostered make/model or an exempt model, it's
not a complete tested or complete exempt gun.

DOJ wrote a memo about this in Spring of 2006 regarding transfer of single shot
pistol frames (ex: Thomspon Contenders) and said they needed to be transferred
as an exempt complete handgun.

Well then, that sucks. They're in vista.

You can ppt one. Probably your best bet is to show up at one of your local range's uspsa practice sessions
or match and ask one of the regulars. They have em and know how to get em.

Message sent. My buddy is selling his STI Edge in the classifieds also if anyone is interested.

You'd have to buy the whole gun, and at a custom shop. They'll do the SS#v2 for you, which is the frame with a breaktop single shot .22 upper.

I was afraid of this, so one of my last SSE pistols was a 2011 STI, even though it was pricey, but I have it now. Bought in case I wanted to try Limited in USPSA ... but Limited will soon just be Limited 10. Still a good gun for that, but really, why not shoot Single stack minor then.

I'm just going to shoot a nice 1911 in .45 with 10 round mags for limited 10
