I have guns that I got via single shot exemption, then converted them to semi-auto. The question is what do you show people when they say "That's illegal because you caused it to be manufactured." I know I didn't manufacture it, I just converted (same concept as a conversion barrel or changing anything on your gun for that matter). I've showed the AW pistol flowchart, but they still say it's causing to be manufactured. What should I do? Print this out for them http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=441766 or what? Anybody have the same question asked to them?

I just ignore them and continue with my day. I was at Ammo dogs in Fresno and they said that was illegal. One of the guys couldn't believe I bought a xdm, he had to call over the owner and made a big deal about it. I'll probably never go back.sigpic PM 4 Front Sight diamond

THere is nothing to worry about.
The gun was already manufactured. It changed into an exempt form for some duration and was transferred to you.
Any individual is allowed to modify his handgun into any other legal form (non-AW, non-SBR, non-SBS, etc.)
If the guy is worried, he prob wouldn't drop a 357Sig bbl in his 40S&W Sig even though that's perfectly legal.
Not only do we at CGF KNOW this is right, we have paperwork (part of our Roster lawsuit) signed by DOJ Deputy AG (and who actually wrote much of the 'safe handgun' laws) stating that modifying a handgun you already own is perfectly legal [even though it ends up being non-Rostered.]
