Can't be done. It's not on the roster.

Best bet is to find one off roster and acquire one through a PPT, other than that not much else you can do.

[NoHeavyHitter]

You can PPT one but I don't have to tell you that would be expensive. If you're just trying to get one (and have future plans to relocate out-of-state) I think you might be able to buy one with a muzzle extension that is pinned and welded to 16 inches and have a buttstock that brings it over the minimum total length for a rifle. I suggest that you call Atlantic and ask Blaine to be sure.

Since the Mini Draco was manufactured as a pistol, when you move out of CA you should be able to legally return it to "pistol configuration". There was an ATF ruling some years ago that allows owners of Thompson Contenders to be bought as a pistol and be legally switched back and forth from rifle configuration to pistol so long as the long barrel is ALWAYS installed before the stock is. The main catch on this ruling is that the firearm MUST be manufactured originally as a pistol to be changed back and forth like this.

I'm not an attorney, and I no longer live in CA nor follow its insane laws - so please verify from a current source that you can do this legally. I'm just trying to help you by pointing out various options. Good luck, I have a mini Draco (bought in CA during SSE) and have no intentions of ever selling it.

One last tip I almost forgot, CNC Warrior sells adapter bushings so you can take the 14mmLH x 1 up to either of the popular Krink sizes so you can more easily use muzzle devices designed for short AK's

Did you register it as an assault weapon with a bullet button before 2017? If not, did you install a mag latch on it so that you must disassemble the action to remove the magazine, and only use ten round mags? These are questions to think about, not to answer. You may want to speak privately with an attorney.

Does anyone know what needs to be done to a mini Draco to make it California compliant? Thanks

Forgot to mention, I bought this in CA during SSE, but have not paid ,much attention to the laws regarding the Dracos.

Assuming you bought it pre 2014 and then did nothing to it and did not register it as an AW in 2018, it needs to be converted to a current fixed magazine configuration.
There are different ways to do it but the easiest is to buy a Compmag.

This is why I quote OP's.
He tried to hide both of his posts from everyone but I saved them.

Thank you! Was just wondering what the thread was all about.

On the other hand, I understand he doesn't want to have an admission that his gun is non-compliant all over the web. It's sad that we live in a state where not only these basic configurations are for some reason illegal (for the childrenz [sic]), but where legality changes over time and someone who did nothing wrong can quietly end up on the dark side through no actions of his own.
