PPT of semi-auto AR pistol with "bullet button" = illegal [PC 30600(a)]
PPT of semi-auto AR pistol with fixed 10 round magazine = legal
PPT of manually operated AR pistol = legal
PPT of a single-shot AR pistol = legal
PPT of an AR pistol receiver = legal

We really do need a "like" button

As usual, on point and accurate with no BS or speculation.

Anybody got a stripped pistol lower they want to sell?

It needs to be a single-shot that operates with a break-top/open action or with a bolt-action and it can never have been a semi-auto prior to being made into a single-shot. [PC 32100(b)]

The entirety of article 4 and 5 is referring to the sale of unsafe handguns that are concealable. If you are building the pistol for yourself, or modifying one that you already purchased, then it does not apply. And it is questionable if an AR pistol is even concealable.

You are wrong, but whatever.

Good luck

That's why it's called the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale and why PPT are exempt. People tend to confuse the roster with the likes of AW or SBR which are illegal to possess.

CA hass it's own criteria for determining who a "manufacturer" is.

Currently, there are licensed manufacturers (FFLs) and unlicensed manufacturers (non-FFLs).

You can only be a CA unlicensed manufacturer if you are a federally licensed manufacturer.

(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to a person licensed to manufacture firearms pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code who manufactures fewer than 100 firearms in a calendar year within this state.

My old 7.5" has a DFM mag but I'm still too nervous to take it out. It will probably be saved for out of state useage to avoid issues here.
