Another AR 15 pistol question

[Jack Daniels]

I did a search but couldn't find anything to answer my question. If you purchase an AR 15 lower and register it as a pistol at the time of purchase, do you have to install a bullet button on it? If so, why? You don't have to have a bullet button installed on any other pistols.....do you?

It's not possible to register a lower receiver as a pistol in CA (non-LE?).
Also consult the Calguns handgun chart as far as the bullet button... An AR pistol has the mag outside of the pistol grip (among other things) and requires a non-detachable magazine.

And you do that how? Which AR15 lower receivers do you believe are on the roster?

Do your other pistols have magazines outside the grip or threaded barrels. I assume not otherwise you have illegal assault weapons.

So you cannot build an AR 15 pistol in California?

Never mind, I just read the other thread, and found out several things.
1. This state sucks on so many levels.
2. Seems like the 80% lower is the best way to go.
3. Time to start applying for jobs in the Vegas area.

Yes, 80% is the way to go for a pistol. You could also PPT a pistol lower, but good luck finding one.
With the 80%, just be sure you make it SSE. There's a sticky in the handgun section.

I think that's called an "epiphany"

Or you find an FFL with an O7 and they build you one as complete. Countless threads on this. Recent too.
