Building a pistol

[virulosity]

You would still need to build it using the single shot bolt action kit.

The single shot exemption expired in 2017 so how is this legal?

The single shot exemption is alive and well, it just changed a little from prior years. Please refer to Penal Code section 32100 for the current provisions of the Single Shot Exemption.

you are correct, here is a link to it:

The part that you highlighted in bold is the change they made in 2014 to stop FFLs from taking a factory built off roster semi auto pistol and converting it to single shot so they could sell it here. Now SSE2 requires it to be built from 80% to a single shot bolt action.

It doesn't have to be bolt action, it could also be a "Break-Top" design. In either case, the weapon must also be dimensionally compliant.

Please note that "SSE2" is a colloquial term. It has no official meaning.

You can do a roster-exempt 80% build using our compliance kit and register it before July 1st and you're good to go.

Our kit works with:

Glockstore SS80 (Glock 43)
Polymer80 PF940sc (Glock 26)
Polymer80 PF940c (Glock 19)
Polymer80 PF940v2 (Glock 17)
Sig P320 (Most versions where the slide and front of the frame are flush)

I looked at your page, very interesting. I take then that the process would be to install an item such as yours and then take to an FFL to register it or is it done through the DOJ only?

Edit: Saw your FAQ page and I see that I would do this through the DOJ not an FFL.

And this single shot pistol can never be converted to semi-auto?

And this single shot pistol can never be converted to semi-auto?

That's the subject of much debate and not much case law.

There are at least two different theories of criminal liability that would support the prosecution of a person who builds a semi-auto from what was once a single-shot. I'm not aware of any such cases actually being filed. At the same time, there have been no case decisions holding the "conversion" to be legal.

The large LE agencies that are actively working gun cases seem to be favoring a civil court forum for the eventual test case.

Question, how is this going to work on the subcompact and single stack frames? In the picture below, it appears the device extends to the front of the ejection port; wouldn't that end up covering ~half of the ejection port on the subcompact and single stack?

Sorry for not keeping track of this thread. If you're still wondering, here's a couple pictures from our website that shows how the Easy Bolt will attach to a G43 slide. Yes, it does slightly encroach on the breech, but not enough to cause functionality issues, especially with our 25acp barrel insert. As far as the slide being thinner, thankfully the universal nature of the Easy Bolt's design is able to compensate for that as well. Feel free to call (408)634-2248 or email us info@inlanderarms.com with any other questions.

So basically no polymer based 80% frame will be legal.

All the replies above are BS!

You guys copying and pasting the law, Stop already!

Polymer80 is legal to complete with your own serial number, before the end of June 2018. After July 1, you’ll need to apply for a doj issued serial number which will likely take forever so consider the end of June your polymer80 end date!

All metal framed handguns don’t have the 3.7 oz stainless insert requirement so after July 1 you will need to apply for, and be issued a DOJ serial number before you complete your build.

[smittty]

80% builds completed and registered before July 1st will not need the 3.7oz stainless, but yes, everything after that will.

[Inlander Arms]

You're right. Just needs to be built before the 1st.

(c) By January 1, 2019, any person who, as of July 1, 2018, owns a firearm that does not bear a serial number assigned to it pursuant to either Section 23910 or pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Part 1 of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto, shall do all of the following:

(2) Within 10 days of receiving a unique serial number or other mark of identification from the department, the unique serial number or other mark of identification provided by the department shall be engraved or permanently affixed to the firearm in accordance with regulations prescribed by the department pursuant to Section 29182 and in a manner that meets or exceeds the requirements imposed on licensed importers and licensed manufacturers of firearms pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 923 of Title 18 of the United States Code and regulations issued pursuant thereto.
(3) After the serial number provided by the department is engraved or otherwise permanently affixed to the firearm, the person shall notify the department of that fact in a manner and within a time period specified by the department, and with sufficient information to identify the owner of the firearm, the unique serial number or mark of identification provided by the department, and the firearm in a manner prescribed by the department.
