I currently own a Registered Multi Cal. AR pistol w/ a 5.56 upper. I don't have any un-assembled AR lower(s), I don't have any spare buttstock(s). Since my AR Pistol lower is marked/registered Mulit Cal., can I purchase a different caliber upper? I would have 2 uppers (short bbl) for use with my multi-cal AR Pistol lower. Is this legal or am I venturing into murky waters?

That's perfectly legal - as long as you have at least one way to build each upper into a legal configuration you're good to go.------------------------------------------------------------

Assuming that your AR pistol lower (whether registered multi-cal or not) is registered as a handgun, you're good to go.- Rich

One guy walks over to the black rifle area and starts gazing. An employee asked him if he knew what he wanted. The guy answered "Not sure......definitely something black.............and short...............and tactical."

One pistol lower with a couple <16" barreled uppers is cool.
I think it's when you get to so many it's really indefensible that you could potentially have issues. How many is that?
But I wouldn't press it beyond a few.

I'm saying one pistol lower is enough for multiple uppers. Sorry if that was confusing. Of course, IANAL and all that junk...------------------------------------------------------------

What if someone machined their own pistol lower and it's not "registered" as a pistol? What if there are no markings of any kind on the pistol lower?"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness; I love only that which they defend.

As long as it has never been configured with a buttstock, and when the firearm (the lower) is FIRST assembled to become functional, it is a single shot with a barrel over 6", it is good to go.
Home built handguns do not have to be registered unless they are later sold.- Rich

but you should have at least one >16" barreled uppper for each rifle lower you have. You don't want to have less rifle uppers than you have rifle lowers. If you don't, then you lose the "rule of lenity".Jack
Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

It may be technically legal to have an unregistered pistol that you manufactured, but uneducated LEO's are going to get very excitable about it if they have any reason to look at the gun, and you may not enjoy the time spent while various "experts" determine that you and your gun are okay.
An AR with no markings in a pistol configuration (short barrel) is just asking for LEO attention at the range.
Far, far safer to manufacture your pistol, put markings on it (maker, place of manufacture, serial number), volreg it with CA DOJ, and take it out with confidence. You may still get excitable uneducated LEO's, but two things are very different. (1) He will see the markings and (2) when he checks them through the firearms database, your name will come up as the registered owner of the gun.
You also may not enjoy the time spent in the second scenario, but I promise that that's about the shortest amount of time you'll be able to spend with an excitable, uneducated LEO."Ecuador offers the United States $23 million a year in economic aid, an amount similar to what we were receiving under the tariff benefits, with the purpose of providing human rights training that will contribute to avoid violations of people's privacy, that degrade humanity," --Fernando AlvaradoComment
