The flowchart makes me want to say no... but as they are opening up registration again.... it's a good question
.50 BMG rifle. PC 30655
The intent of the 50 ban was to not allow any new 50s.
So if you had a legal 50 you could register it
Now you are asking if you can take a RAW and change the caliber to 50.
Have you read though the Penal Code for 50s and the 50 cal ban bill?Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

what AR lower could accommodate a 50 bmg?Comment

At lowers can't feed 50 bmg. You can't buy anything chambered in .50bmg
Guys honestly "they're not opening up aw registration"
There is no "grace period"
Your imagination is running away from you.
You can have a bullet button equipped ar-15 in2017 if it's registered that's it.
No you can't have a .50bmg, no you can't have NFA items, no you can't have destructive devices. No you can't have off roster hand guns. No you can't have suppressors, no you can't conceal carry, none of that is going to fly
What you can have is a bullet button equipped ar-15
The alternative is mandatory destruction of all ar-15's. They threw you a bone in saying that you can keep what you have.
It's not 2017 is assault weapons extravaganza year, you get a bazooka you get panzer you get barret m107!!!!Last edited by 951temec; 12-13-2016, 3:37 PM.Comment

Just ask yourself if you own a RAW AR from 2001, can you put a new .50 BMG upper on it right now?Comment

From Bweise in the 2A section
JUST GOT MY 2017 AW REGISTRATION - CAN I RECONFIGURE GUN INTO A ".50BMG RIFLE"?
NO. Firstly, "assault weapon" status and ".50BMG rifle" status are separate legal entities, though a bit
intertwined and there are nearly identical prohibitions & punishments. "AW registration" and ".50BMG
rifle registration" are *not* equivalents.
On first blush, there indeed is an exemption that says (roughly) that registered AWs do not have to be
re-registered as ".50BMG rifles". But this appears just to be for purposes of DOJ labor-saving relating to
AB50 .50BMG rifle ban implementation over a decade ago.
But other areas of Penal Code relating to ".50BMG rifle" matters include date range restrictions; furthermore,
you cannot 'manufacture' a ".50BMG rifle" since AB50 became active - even though it became a reg'd AW in
2017.
Do remember that ".50 BMG rifle" status applies to RIFLES only (guns designed/intended to be fired from
the shoulder). But a .50BMG firearm that is clearly not designed to be fired from shoulder (i.e., tripod
mounted, with rear spade grips, etc.) is not categorizable as a ".50BMG rifle". Such an architecture would
probably not be regardable as an 'assault weapon' either and not require a fixed magazine. A letter from
DOJ Firearms Div. Director Randy Rossi exists - from over a decade ago - describing a tripod mounted
.30-caliber similar gun design as a non-assault-weapon just because of grip design (note that discussion
of rifle vs non-rifle issues may have been intentionally avoided).Comment
