SA CHIAPPA RHINO.....FFL advise needed

[ansan12001]

I am interested in buying a single action Rhino revolver like this one:

http://grabagun.com/chiappa-firearms-rhino-50ds-sar-357mag-chrme-ca.html

Retailer is out of state (I would like to purchase out of state because prices are cheaper, even if you add up the fees) and claims this is California compliant because it come from the factory as SA. What is the SKU for the SA exempt version?

If I bought out of state as planned, once I received the firearm, can I convert it myself to DA? Is it possible and practical? If I sold down the line do I have to convert back to SA?

Any tips or advice apprecaited, the markup from private party on the DA Rhino is crazy, I guess alot of people want one....

I think there used to be a shop in the Riverside, CA. area (s.cal) that used to sell the DA version, but cant remember the name

if you are in the bay area. Coyote Point armory stocks the Rhino's and the out the door price will be close the the one you posted

They are a pain in the back side to work on

Chiappa will not sell you parts unless you are a FFL

We stock the parts to convert them to DA but can not sell the parts un installed per Chiappa

If in SoCal we stock the Rhino as well
