      Yea when folks used to build pre-ban AR's from scratch, the barrels came threaded from the factory before a muzzle device was put on them

          Theoretically yes, but if the transfer is going through an FFL (gun shipped from out-of state) then a safe handling demo will be needed. Not sure how that would be done without the barrel, so some FFLs may refuse to DROS just the frame/slide, less barrel.

            Call your receiving ffl. Some will DROS a frame only. Some will not. The other option is to borrow a barrel from s friend

                Threaded barrels are even legal to install on handguns as long as you are not creating an illegal AW by doing so. There are many "pistols" that can legally have threaded barrels on them in CA.

                  Just buy a regular barrel at hk parts. They also sell the threaded ones for vp9. That way you can take it to the range and dros.

                    Or you can buy an extra threaded one and lathe off the threads
