AW registry question

[Cheezle56]

Can I register anything next year? Like register an M14 reciever for a future M14EBR build? What about "normal" handguns? Such as registering an M9 as an AW so I can put evil features on an M9?

[Eatmyshade]

Nope but I believe you can put a handgun before the the year ends

I should clarify, I'm implying guns and receivers I acquire this year.

You can not legally register something that isn't an AW as an AW.

[Cheezle56]

So for example an M14 would already have to be in EBR configuration before it can be registered, so registering just a stripped reciever is a no-go?

[Junkie]

Correct. However, I don't know if they'll be asking for any evidence.

Similarly, I have no clue how I'll be able to show that my homebuilds were completed this year (or earlier). I've heard they don't like to let people volreg semiauto handguns at this point, even if you first made it single shot.

You're only supposed to register weapons that meet the new assault weapons definition. Will check? Who knows, they didn't the last time.

I've been wondering this too, would a pistol grip being installed and a bullet button be enough?

Not legally.

You also can not legally assemble an assault weapon (today, or in 2017).
The difference is that today, the BB keeps it legal. Next year, it won't.

So you can build BB builds right up to midnight 12/31/2016, then it's tools down, you're done.
Register what you finished, complete the rest as featureless.

Can you take everything except for the stripped lower off of the assembled and registered assault weapon after midnight 12/31/2016?

We don't know.

Currently, you can remove the "Evil features" and de-register an AW.
That may or may not be the case under the new laws.

Nothing is finalized Yet..
Standby.
And wait for Final Draft and Bill put into Law.

I'll get the pistols I want to get now and see. If I can register them as AW's along with my AR15 pistols then great, if not, at least I have them.

Just a thought on those "registry lists = future confiscation" conspiracy theories, wouldn't opening the registry to both complete BB builds and stripped receivers cast a wider "confiscation" net?

They know that confiscation is not going to fly with the courts (or with the budget).
They are simply eliminating them through attrition.

Their solution is simple.
Ban them from purchase and sale by residents. The inflow from manufacturers and out of state immediately stops.
At that point, they can no longer be transferred, so when you die, if you have no heirs outside of California, they are then confiscated.

What makes you think they intend to stop at what they have currently banned? A bill was floated this year (died in committee) that would have included ALL Semiautomatic rifles in the ban.

Guarantee that will be reintroduced in the 2019 session, and Governor Newsom will sign it.

Next step will be to ban the importation of repair parts, just as magazine rebuild kits were banned.
