Help with maglocking a mp5k or sp5

[kalifornia.kompliant]

Wouldn't it have to be converted to a rifle (maglocked or featureless) before it came in-state? Even a maglocked SP5 pistol is still going to run up against the roster (unless we see progress in the courts).

eta: I was just reading the Pena application for cert at SCOTUS and now I'm not sure...does the fixed mag/maglock option obviate the roster compliance requirement?

3 lug is threaded like a cat is a moose.

the tri-lug barrel is basically a threaded barrel right?

No.
Lugs are NOT threads if they are not helical and cut all the way around the barrel like threads.

It is three lug and threaded.

They really should fix the PC to match with the CCR's...
The PC does not state anything about lugs.

No, it does not. It only keeps the pistol from being an assault weapon.

Thanks, that's what I thought. It was some of the wording in the cert application that made me think I had misunderstood the law.

Look at how the Maglatch works. On the HK the button and paddle are connected so if the button is blocked or prevented from being depressed it also keeps the paddle from operating. As the paddle is pushed forward the button is drawn down. Blocking the button also blocks the paddle.

If you COVERED an HK magazine release button so that a finger can not actuate it but left the paddle intact, the paddle would still actuate the magazine latch.
If you CAPTURED the HK magazine latch to the reciever, then neither the paddle or the release button would release a magazine.
Blocking the BUTTON does NOT stop the paddle from moving the magazine catch if you are not ALSO blocking the movement of the magazine catch.
So what REALLY matters in trying to fix an HK magazine is blocking the magazine CATCH or the actual magazine from moving, not the button or paddle.

Yes bad choice of words on my part.
When I said "block" I was not meaning "cover" but rather some other method of preventing the button from moving. The Maglatch product appears to put a pin into the hole in the center of the roll pin thats in the release button preventing the button from being depressed, thus also preventing the paddle from moving and effectively defeating the entire mag release mechanism.

PC lets DOJ create regulations to govern/clarify the PC. [PC 30520(c)]
Regulations say "threaded barrel" includes barrel lugs. [11 CCR 5460 & 5471(rr)]

For pennies, take a 13mm copper oil drain plug gasket and cut it to form a horse shoe. Then slide it under the release button. The grip module will hold it in place. The button can not be depressed. Make sure to close the bolt before inserting the magazine.
