Looking into getting an AK pistol soon (not sure what kind yet) but before I do, I just want to be clear on the legality. I did some research and read up about the single shot conversion (to circumvent the BS California drop test and off roster status). But my question is, if I purchase one of these from a gun shop will it need to have this single shot conversion and, if so, can I convert it back once I purchase it. Thanks!

It will be transferred to you as a single-shot pistol.
After you take possession of it, you can modify it to be a semi-auto pistol with a fixed 10 round magazine.
(this is done by removing the 0 round magazine/sled and inserting a 10 round magazine)
While in CA, it must always have a maglock and can only be used with 10 or less round magazines.sigpic

If you need help with any stragglers, call a friend, because it's likely that they have a gun. America in particular have done exceptionally well taking care of the problem, as there are 1.12 guns for every 1 American citizen. So throw a rock, you'll probably hit a gun, pick up that gun, then shoot a zombie.Comment

I just bought a Draco from Atlantic Firearms; they do the conversion for you and ship to your FFL. They are great guys.When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,

What happens then? Did they close a loophole?"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Proposed legislation (AB 1964) that would change the single-shot pistol exemption to only apply to break-open single-shot pistols and bolt-action single-shot pistols.sigpic
