Nice try though ... Being exempt from the roster of "safe" handguns is one thing, but being exempt from all rules is another
C&R long guns that are more than 50 years old are (at least the last time I checked) exempt from having to be transferred through an FFL, though.
Sistemas are usually pretty nice on the outside, but some of them must have been ridden hard with corrosive ammo and put away wet, 'cuz the absolute worst bore I've ever seen was in one. Made a sewer pipe look nice and the thing shot 12" groups at 10yds! Nice thing is that barrels are easy to replace!

Seems appropriate.
Yes, the Argentine m1927s (at least the older ones) are C&R and thus exempt from the California roster.
I’ve observed several that have been in good to very good mechanical condition with some cosmetic blemishes.Matthew D. Van Norman

Yeah - C&R in most cases. There's 2 types: The ones built under Colt contract (I believe all the Sistemas, but may be wrong there) and the ones built as Colt "knock-offs" (which I think are the Ballester Molina? - but may be wrong on the name).
The ones built under Colt contract are older.Comment

Though visually similar, the Ballester-Molina is not a Colt-Browning pistol.
The so-called Sistemas were manufactured in Argentina, but many genuine Colt pistols were also imported.Matthew D. Van Norman
