Bought M&P 15 CA Compliant

[Tommy Gun]

Before 2017 I DROS'd and was in possession of a M&P 15 and to make it compliant for 2017 the way I wanted to own it, I converted it to featureless.

My question is that starting 2018 records will show that it had a BB and that I have not registered it. Do I have anything to worry about in 2018? Will I have to prove it has been legally converted? Or am I worried for nothing?

You either have to register it (when they finally get it squared away on their web site) as an assault weapon or make it featureless.

You went the featureless route.

Featureless does not require you to report it or prove it to the state that it's featureless.

This is going to be interesting. Wouldn't they just need to compare dros records with registration records? A simple computer comparison would give them a whole slew of names and addresses with "perceived" inconsistencies/conflicts to "visit".

I guarantee you that DOJ will do exactly that for every "AW" that there is a DROS registration for and doesn't get registered as an "AW".

Do you think they will go down the list alphabetically or start with the oldest DROS records and work up?

Yes

Finally someone with some answers

[BumBum]

The DROS form doesn't indicate what kind of "compliance device" a firearm has or doesn't have. You could have easily purchased a featureless firearm pre-2017.

Most likely to be followed by a threatening form letter.

Nope. Not registering.

The premise of your question is confusing. In your hypothetical question, how did you acquire the AR in 2018? Whether PPT or from a store, it would go through an FFL, who would most likely make sure it was featureless, because the AR with evil features can't be sold then.

Or am I worried for nothing?

Yes, you are worried for nothing. Enjoy your featureless riffle and ignore the few in this thread that think there will be some sort of list.

I concur. OP, you're worried for nothing.

I was confident when I converted it in 2016 that I was GTG. But now it was just something that worried me because with all the hoops we have to jump through the question of ar15 origination tied to serial numbers (I think), there might have been an issue.

It's nice to see that some manufacturers and retailers are starting to include statements like this for muzzle brakes:

This product does not reduce the flash signature of the firearm.
