Featureless Conversion and Registration

[Tommy Gun]

So if CA knows what I own as I bought my ARs in 2015 and 2016 but all were converted to featureless way before 2017, what, if anything, do I have to worry about for not registering in the eyes of the CA DOJ. Do I have a potential visit in the future to look forward to or a nasty letter?

I know I'm fine legally for whatever happens but don't want to have to deal with LEO if I don't have to. Would getting a rejection letter for trying to register a featureless rifle be best or say F it.

We don't know.

That's a 'prove to us that you are innocent' problem. Pretty much anywhere but California, that question would not come up.

Mod hat on: remember this forum is not for griping, just how to successfully obey the law.

The DOJ could easily send out letters to people that bought AR/AK/Scary looking rifles in 2015-2016 inquiring as to the current configuration of the firearm as part of a little fishing expedition. Letters are cheap. Given their luck in catching a few during the registration process, they would likely catch a few that are willing to take their bait and incriminate themselves. Currently, there is no legal or moral reason to respond to any DOJ requests for clarification.

No legal reason to respond to a “prove you are innocent letter” but there is the intimidation factor which is what DOJ is counting on. Who wants to invite a visit from the DOJ goon squad.
