1911 carbine conversion

[Guns R Tools]

I know it is illegal to convert to http://www.mechtechsys.com/1911.html as current CA law.

But what if we get this stock http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=213622

The stock that attaches to main spring housng. Then slap on Mechtech upper without stock.

Would it be legal?

Still illegal. Definition of a PG is the web of the triggerhand can be placed beneath the top of the exposed portion of the triggerguard when firing.

You can legally run a Mechtech CCU on your 1911 as long as you make it fixed mag, making a bullet button to fix the mag is as easy as running a spare mag release on the bench grinder.

Seems kinda ludicrous that it is illegal to turn an easily concealable firearm into essentially an unconcealable rifle.

You do realize that this is California right?

And if you really think about it, $250.00 for what is probably an entry level type barrel and a crappy wood stock isn't a great deal. I think this falls into the "want it 'cause we can't have it" category. Pick up a Mech Tech and grind down a 1911 mag release, have fun.

Numrich used to list this combo for under $150. I heard it was pretty loose and inaccurate so I never bought one. Should you figure out how to purchase and use it please post experience with it..
