    Complete lower ar pistol from out of state

    I'm wanting to purchase a RRA pistol lower from out of state off the web. Can I do this? Since it's not complete, does it still need a single shot sled and BB?

    You must have an exemption from the roster for a pistol lower. Only complete single-shot AR type pistols are available to the general public.

      Hmm. It's a little confusing as to what that rule is in place for. Pistol lower will be a pistol. What's the difference from a complete pistol? Either way, it will end up the same thing. So frustrating.

        Because we have a "safe roster" of pistols, of which there are no AR weapons. To get around that they do the mod.

            Seems like a good deal and I figure I'll only have to pay use tax on just the lower and save some money.
            The only way you can do that is if you are exempt or they will single shot it for you. It is DROS'd as a pistol, so it must meet the requirements of buying a pistol. It doesn't need to say "pistol" on it, it could say donkey raping **** eater on it, it only matters how it is DROS'd.

                Soo what if the selling shop installs a single shot and a BB before sending it to the ffl? Can that be done?

                  I don't think you can do just the lower as the single shot exemption requires a certain length barrel and over all length. If you don't have a barrel, as in a complete lower, I don't know how it could meet the exemption requirements.

                  You need a complete ar pistol, with single shot fixed mag.

                  ETA:
                  12133. (a) The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to a

                  any of the following specifications:
                  (1) Was originally manufactured prior to 1900 and is a curio or

                  (2) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at
                  least 71/2 inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and
                  barrel are assembled.
                  (3) Has an overall length measured parallel to the barrel of at
                  least 71/2 inches when the handle, frame or receiver, and

                  importation into the United States pursuant to the provisions
                  of paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section 925 of Title 18
                  of the United States Code.
                  (b) The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to a
                  single-shot pistol with a barrel length of not less than six
                  inches and that has an overall length of at least 101/2 inches
                  when the handle, frame or receiver, and barrel are assembled.

                    If you want to order a RRA pistol e-mail this guy. davesgunsales@msn.com and tell him Wes Morris sent you. I will make sure he has everything he needs to make your pistol single shot exempt before it gets shipped into CA. You just tell him which model you want and then start waiting. RRA has some pretty long lead times. I have one customer pistol that we have been waiting on for at least two months now, probably closer to 3 or 4 now that I think about it.
                    www.tenpercentfirearms.com was open from 2005 until 2018. I now own Westside Arms.

                      Thanks for the offer. It's not that I can't get a pistol but more that I wanted to assemble it myself and customize it through the process. Looks like it can't be done.

                        That is correct. So get the cheapest darn pistol you can and then add the upgrades.
