AR pistol-Bullet button?

[jdmstuff]

I'm building an AR pistol and am wondering if a bullet button is required since I'm running 10 rd mags.

[nothinghere2c]

yes.

it has the capability to accept a magazine in a spot "outside" of the pistol grip.

therefore you need to mag lock it no matter what.

OP I would suggest you read more into the ins and outs of building an AR pistol before you go any farther.

CA's assault weapons laws for handguns are different than those for rifles and shotguns.
What may be legal for one category, may not be legal for another.

Read and understand before proceeding with any build.

^This.

Plus read the actual law.

2276.1. (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following:
([...]
(4) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
(A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(B) A second handgrip.
(C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning his or her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
(D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
(5) A semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that has the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds.

And search calgun for more info on how to legally build one. Theres a lot out there on the subject.
(Yes I know search isn't working great)
Throw this into google site:calguns.net whatever you are looking for

Are you using a 80% lower?

lol I almost asked that in my post above, but didn't as once that's mentioned in a pistol thread it always goes bad.

THIS WILL NOT END WELL! hah

[artoaster]

Shouldn't there just be a quiz?

OP read everything here and keep hitting that search function.

[jdmstuff]

Yes, I am using an 80% lower, and yes the search function isn't that great here.
