Kel-Tec Sub9

[Mr. Casull]

I bought the Kel-Tec gun just before the "assault weapon" ban went into effect. It really is no different from their Sub 2000 that they sell now except the Sub 9 was made out of more steel! I purchased a "bullet" button for the new Sub 2000 and with a minor modification to the button and drilling a hole in the receiver I was able to make it function perfectly. Now the question is, with the bullet button installed can I have it removed as an "assault" weapon and transfer it to my son?

Is it a named AW?

CA Semiauto Ban(AW)ID Flowchart

Follow the flow chart.

Since it is not make/model banned, you can modify it so that it no longer has any prohibited features and then have it de-registered as an assault weapon.

In addition to installing a maglock + 10 round magazine, you will need to add stock spacers or install a muzzle device to meet the minimum overall length requirement of 30".

The Kel-Tec SUB-9 and SUB-2000 Gen 1 are too short (under 30"), so installing a maglock + 10 round magazine is not enough.

Also note that in order to de-register it, CA DOJ BOF may request pictures or request to inspect it, in order to ensure that it is no longer an assault weapon.

[Mr. Casull]

Thank you so much for your very information. I will see about tracking down some stock spacers or a muzzle brake.

[Mr. Casull]

I ordered a stock spacer today from Kel-Tec directly as they confirmed it will fit my weapon. I also sent a letter today to CADOJ asking if I can now transfer it to my son.
