Need Help with Single Shot Exemption Procedure HK 45

[brooTool]

Hello Community,
I am a new member and am very excited to gain knowledge through this forum site and from all it's vastly knowledgeable members ( according to my pal).

So Basically I am a little confused about the process of getting a HK 45 BRAND NEW in california.

1. I have to contact an FFL in CA who will be willing to do the conversion.
2. I must pay for the Handgun in full and parts/labor for the conversion.
3. Do background check blah blah blah DOJ fee's etc.
4. Have the handgun shipped to the FFL and allow time for the conversion etc.
5. Then I am able to obtain the firearm in standard form?

I am kinda confused as to the procedures, I did read the thread on single shot exemption but was still a little unsure since I have never heard of this.

^ more-or-less the procedure. Based on your #4, it looks like you're buying this from an out-of-area dealer? Keep in mind there are a LOT of sellers that won't ship off-roster to a CA FFL. Also, you're going to spend more on the DROS and you're still going to get dinged for sales tax.

This is what I'd do. Go see Steve at OC Firearms. He is AWESOME when it comes to SSE. If he has the parts he does them w/o an additional charge. The HK45 is on his site and you can "add to cart" which generally means that is what you're going to pay (plus tax and $35 DROS). Give him a call to confirm. Outside of a PPT, this will be your easiest route to getting you that HK.

1 - You will have to find an FFL that has the correct barrel for the gun that you want.
2 - Either have them order the gun or order it and have it sent to them. You generally pay in full or at least a deposit at this time.
3 - Wait for gun to come in.
4 - Fill out paperwork. You pay the remainder at this time generally.
5 - Wait the 10 days.
6 - Pick up gun with SSE parts in place.
7 - Walk out the door.
8 - Walk back in the door.
9 - Ask them to fix your gun.
10 - Walk out with your gun fixed and in normal configuration.

How is this any different from what's in the sticky? I'm genuinely curious.

[brooTool]

basically understood the concept but didnt understand the process of obtaing the firearm in stock condition because I was not able to get one, so i thought I could get it out of state and have it shipped to a shop and have them do the work. but as Jdben says that some of the shops do all the work and have the guns in stock already ... thats basically it.

if that makes sense lol, I am kinda new to the SSE scene because I have always bought firearms that were legally safe in CA

[brooTool]

Also, I know this sorta off topic but why does this law exist for unsafe firearms in CA when you can just go through the SSE process LOL. Sounds like bureaucratic bull****.

Because the SSE was a loophole they didn't close.
They didn't see it coming and are having one hell of a time getting rid of it.

Barring some dramatic new developments, it's going away in 2015. Make use of the time we have left.

Welcome to California gun laws. Written by people who don't understand firearms and believe that all firearms are immoral, therefore any restriction is a "good restriction."

So if we already possess these firearms pre-2015 then we can keep the mods after the provisions in 2015?
