Threaded barrel question.
I know it is illegal in california to have a threaded barrel on a pistol. But is it illegal to own but not install? And if you did install it, can you permanently affix a break on it? Via cold solder or pin it. Thank you for your time.

,and our leaders allow themselves to be spoon fed with foreign BS and have forgotten that the great majority of americans do not live in secluded gated comunities with private security 24/7 like they do, while the rest of us are subject to defending ourselves without Police escorts whenever we need it. they dont realize we are subject to different dangers than they are, and we must have and keep the right do defend ourselves! -
There's no constructive possession for the barrel so you can have it uninstalled. You can permanently attach a compensator on it.WTS all BNIB: Colt S70 Repro, HK45c, Gen4 G19 -
What he said.
You can also legally have a threaded barrel on handguns that are not semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines.
Summary on threaded barrels and handguns:
threaded barrel + semi-auto pistol that accepts detachable magazines = illegal [PC 12276.1(a)(4)(A)]
threaded barrel + semi-auto pistol with a fixed magazine = legal
threaded barrel + single-shot pistol = legal
threaded barrel + lever-action pistol = legal
threaded barrel + pump-action pistol = legal
threaded barrel + revolver = legalsigpic
