I'm coaching a friend that just built his first AK and I have no clue what to tell him about bullet buttons or featureless builds. The more I read the crap the more confused I get. Am I correct that the only new thing with bullet buttons was that today was the last day to get an AK/AR out of 10 day wait from DROS? As of tomorrow does he need a bullet button if he leaves the pistol grip off of his fixed stock AK? Sorry, I never was the sharpest tool in the shed and now on top of that I'm old, lol. He needs to get it engraved now to have a legal homebuilt? Can he currently use his standard capacity mag without a pistol grip? Thanks in advance if you can make any of this simple enough for me to understand so I can keep him safe.

Today was the last day to get a bullet buttoned rifle. tomorrow it has to be a featureless build.
Bullet button firearms are still legal to possess but must have been completed or possessed by today. you will have to convert to features or submit to registration by jan 2018
Engraving is not required until July 2018 and must be in exact conformance to ATF regulations to be exempt from state registration.
Read the first part of my compliance guide. spelled out so everybody can wrap their head around it.

SB880 requires a CADOJ issued serial number if he wants to register as an assault rifle. The bullet button cannot be removed even after registration
Yes I know it's a cage around the paddle release
AB857 is another bill referring to engraving serial numbers, which is not required until 2018"While it may come as a surprise to the authors of the legislation, most semi-automatic pistols do in fact come with a pistol grip"Malthusianism is the idea that population growth is potentially exponential while the growth of the food supply is arithmetical at best.Comment

Incorrect on on the AW registration and Bullet button.
No where written in the AW law does it say that a RAW has to remain in original configuration.
Some are looking at this as a way to get a new weapon on the RAW list and remove the BB. which is perfectly legal to do.
The registration dead line and serial number requirement are on the same day so figure it out. You either serialize to remain featureless and unregistered or your submit a request for a serial number and register as a home build or RAWComment

Thanks very much. I had guessed if anybody could explain it for me there was a pretty good chance it would be you. I read the info in your compliance guide also. So if he goes to the range next week with his fixed stock AK he is okay because the pistol grip has a kydex fin on it and he has a slant brake and no bullet button.If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.

I would agree with all three points as stated in the law
The CCR that came out today specifically states that the bullet button cannot be removed
Is it in the law? NO
Can you remove the bullet button after registration?
According to the regs.... No

Wait, does featureless mean we have to pin and weld the muzzle brake on? No more folding stocks even though overall length is over 30 inches folded?If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough. Albert EinsteinComment

After seeing the regs regarding not being able to remove your bullet button, and the regs saying it must be a state issued number engraved on your 80% home builds in order to register... Do you really believe DOJ is gonna be ok with us just putting on our own numbers on our 80% home built receivers come 7/18? Featureless or not.. The new law says it must be done in accordance with BATFE standards, which implies it must be done by a manufacturer,
I fully expect the DOJ to mandate that the number can only come from them,
I really hope I'm wrong, but after seeing what they pulled yesterday, I have a really bad feeling...
I don't think featureless means pinning a break, just can't be a flashider on there, pinning the break is only necessary to keep it at a legal length, if it's a short barrel. And yes the stock needs to be pinned.Last edited by kalibeltfeeder; 01-01-2017, 5:25 AM.
