Purchasing stripped pistol lower

[HasuPK]

Hello
My understanding is we can still ppt stripped pistol lowers just as you can purchased stripped AR lowers post coming deadline

True, you will be able to buy stripped pistol lowers but they will have to be built with a fixed magazine that only breaking the receiver open to reload is how it's gonna roll.

This should have be posted in the pistol section too, my dude

Dont think you will be able to ppt an AR pistol lower. As far as I know AR pistols must be sold completely built.

oligoodday, no. You're wrong.

I think you can buy stripped pistol lower but it will need to be built/completed before the end of the year to register it. Or you can find a "fixed magazine" solution.

I don't know the law at the top of my head but I believe featureless is not an option.

You're right about no way to make a pistol featureless, handguard = scary

For pistols it seems either you register before deadline, or slap a maglock on.

Since OP is looking for post-ban, the latter is the way to go.

Yes.

However, in order to comply with CA unsafe handgun laws...

The pistol receiver needs to be made into a dimensionally compliant bolt-action single-shot pistol or a dimensionally compliant break-top/open single-shot pistol.

Because the firearm can never had been semi-auto prior to creation, you will most likely need to build your own upper, instead of buying an existing upper and modifying it. This is because existing uppers are typically test fired by the manufacturer as a semi-auto.

In addition to installing a non-detachable 0 round mag/sled*, the following must be done depending on the type of upper...

If the AR style pistol normally operates via direct impingement, then:
1. Do not install a gas tube.
2. Do not install a gas block or plug the gas block.
This makes it a straight pull bolt-action single-shot.

If the AR style pistol normally operates via gas-piston, then:
1. Do not install a gas piston.
2. Do not install a gas block or plug the gas block.
This makes it a straight pull bolt-action single-shot.

If the AR style pistol normally operates via blowback, then:
1. Install a dowel in the buffer tube, which prevents the buffer from moving.
This makes it a break-top/open single-shot.

The upper will also need a minimum 6" barrel length and the handgun will need a minimum 10.5" overall length.

*non-detachable 0 round mag/sled...
Until 12-31-2016, a "bullet button" style maglock + 0 round mag/sled will comply with this requirement.
Starting 01-01-2017, a maglock that requires the firearm's action to be disassembled + 0 round mag/sled or a sealed/welded in 0 round mag/sled or a solid magazine well will be needed to comply with this requirement.

if you are lucky enough to find one in the last two days, then yes. if you are even luckier enough to find a ffl willing to transfer you are golden. assuming you finish your build by the 1st
