For those of you lucky AR pistol owners: Did you transfer in your pistol from out of state as a single shot? Or did you build them off of virgin lowers? If you built them up, what documentation do you keep as record of them never being rifles? PM me if neccessary...TIA

Out of state is the way to go, maybe the only as once you own one you don't sale it off. -
I know someone who has one but I can't tell ya....Comment

Well if you build yourself a lower from a 80% lower, it has to be marked as a pistol. You can't just get any old lower and make it a pistol.Originally posted by 69Mach1The virgin requires more work (don't they all

It was my understanding that a "virgin" lower could be built into a pistol. Virgin meaning it has never been made into a rifle before.MY AR Profile #1Comment

As long as the stripped lower is not listed as a RIFLE on the 4473 then it can be built as a pistol. Not sure how Cali looks at it though....Comment

I need to do this one of these days.sigpicLord, make my hand fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

Please explain why you think that if you build your own "frame" you must mark it as a "pistol". I have never seen a homebuilt 1911 frame marked "pistol" before. Are the homebuilt 1911s I've seen illegal? Or, are you trying to tell me that AR15 pistols are subject to special laws?NRA Certified Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun and Metallic Cartridge Reloading Instructor

We get ours from a number of different places
Ultimately all of them are coming from out of state as there are no CA based manufacturers currently serializing AR15 pistol frames.

I built both of mine from 80% receivers. An AR-15 in .223 and an ST-22 in .22LR
It's my understanding that any OLL is just assumed to be for a rifle and therefore can NOT be used to make a pistol (ever).
That leaves two options, ship one in from out of State as a 'single fire' gun (avoiding that damn roster) then build it up or build one yourself from an 80%. The down side of building one yourself is it's easy to screw up and you can NEVER sell it. But you have the joy of knowing YOU made it.
