Ak pistols

[VAHEVAHE]

Ok i have a question

When you build the ak-pistol and register it with the DOJ and a cop pulls you over. He runs the serial on the pistol and your name comes up, that means that you are pretty much safe correct?

The reason why i am asking this is because the reason why we have so many issues with OLL is because cops CANT check their system to see if its registered under your name or not when they pull you over.

Im doing a essay so sorry for the mispells

I would think for some cops, that might be enough. For some however, they will see what they think may be a "short barrel assault rifle" and you'll be spending some time in the "system". There are no guarantees and a homebuilt AK pistol is definitely at the riskier end of the CA legal gun spectrum.

Thanks for your response,"AK pistol is definitely at the riskier end of the CA legal gun spectrum." that is what i was thinking also.

Here are two of mine, (fixed mag pistol builds on homeade receivers)

along with two bolt action AMD65's and two Rommy G's

Do the 922(r) rules apply for pistols too or only to rifles?

[troyus]

"922 (r) It shall be unlawful for any person to assemble from imported
parts any semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun which is identical to any
rifle or shotgun prohibited from importation under section 925(d)(3) of
this chapter as not being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable
to sporting purposes except that this subsection shall not apply to--"

922(r) only matters for semiautomatic rifles and shotguns.

Hey, that's good to know, especially in regards to AK pistols!

friends,

i enountered a bit of flak for my homebuilt ak pistol at a local range( remain nameless). i happened to be shooting one stall away from a lawyer. i discovered that i forgot to bring my printouts with me of the doj letters and other things. i had a bit of trouble explaining to him why what i made was completely legal. it did not help that he wouldnt let me get a word in edgewise, but hey, that would be just like trying to talk to many of the cops ive known. basically it was like a trial run at explaining how my gun was legal and i failed.

so, my points. point one, im a retard for forgetting my paperwork point two, im a retard for not being able to articulate why my pistol was perfectly legal. point three, we really should form a print out explaining all points of this issue and print out little books, cards, or whatever we might need to fully explain ourselves.


yes, owning a ak pistol is at the riskier end of the spectrum. but id like to change that. we are not criminals and i really dislike being talked to like i am. even if its from friends.

Everything hangs on the mag lock -- if you can't explain the difference between a detachable and attachable mag, you will have a problem.

I typically just say "most the assault weapon laws pertain to weapons with detachable magazines, and this magazine is not detachable as defined by CADOJ." This is a gross exaggeration but seems to help the uninitiated through the logic.

You're just shooting at the range, for ****'s sake..



Did you tell him to **** off, I hope?

I wonder if it would have mattered. I tend to try to not piss of people that I know are armed, let alone people I think are breaking the law already with loaded weapons in hand. Then again, I don't have a death wish...

One time a long time ago I got into a fight at a range with a similar dickhead... You're right, probably not smart.

Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. Ask my wife; she knows that I am the only one professional enough in our bathroom to hold an "AR tu-tu-tray"

Oh, it wasn't a mistake...I would probably do it again today if I weren't so old...

You realize that there was this invention that cops carry around, lets them talk to people miles away... Called a radio.

If the officers don't have the ability to run serials in their car (most don't) then dispatch certainly has the ability to.
