Asking for a friend here.
His friend wants to sell him an AK-47 that was brought with him when he moved into CA from another state. The seller never registered the AK when he moved into CA.
How does the buyer now register the AK in CA if he buys the rifle, especially with the new laws on the books?
Does the seller first have to register the rifle and then do the transfer? Can the seller just skip the registration step and have the new buyer register the rifle in CA when he buys the rifle and does the transfer at the FFL?
Finally, suppose the buyer just gives the seller cash, keeps the gun and never registers it or transfers it through a dealer.
If one day caught with it, what are the penalties? I know there was no registration requirements for long guns a few years back but given that this is an AK, it's an AW which is different in any case, correct?
Suppose the new buyer makes the AK featureless and never registers it or transfers it through an FFL? Felony? Misdemeanor?
Sorry for the plethora of questions. Want to make sure my buddy does not jam himself up. I'm counseling him to do the legal and proper thing but frankly I'm not sure what to tell him at this point. Thanks for the help.
