Okay new to this so please be kind. My buddy's dad has an Ak that he is looking to sell but it was purchased knack in 1990. He said it was listed as an assault rifle and inform that it is not available for transfer but has to be turned in. Is this accurate? He has had it in storage for over twenty years. Can I get it transferred to my name thru an FFL? What is needed. I was informed hat a bullet guide had to be installed and no mags over ten rounds correct? BUt what else?

If it is a Registered Assault Weapon (RAW), then it can only be transferred to:
1. a CA FFL dealer with an assault weapons permit.
2. a resident of another state through a FFL dealer in that other state.
If it is not a RAW, then the owner needs to contact a lawyer and arrange to have it surrendered to Law Enforcement for destruction in lieu of felony charges.sigpic

How about if the owner cut the receiver and sells *the rest of the parts for a Cali-legal build?Comment

This is true if it is banned by name and not features. If the AK is not on the ban list, you can have it de-registered with the state and make the appropriate modifications to make it Ca. legal.
Check the make and model against the list from the flowchart.

It is registered to his father but not sure if it is registered as an assault rifle. From what my buddy said it has been in storage for over twenty years or close to it. 1991 is the last year it was fired from his account. He is unsure on how to transfer but wants to get rid of it.
And when you say transfer to an CA FFL dealer with a assault rifle permit. Does thy mean only a police officer can get it transferred. Or do I transfer to a dealer with an assault rifle permit to be able o transfer to me?Comment

1) If you are unsure if it was a registered assault weapon or not, you need to find out.
2) Even if it is a registered assault weapon, YOU can't get it. BANNED means it can not be transferred to any private non dealer owner in this state. Period.
3) If it was banned by feature and NOT by name/model, then you CAN render it "ban-compliant" through modification (to remove offending features).
4) If it was banned by name/model and NEVER registered as a "grandfathered in" registered assault weapon (RAW), then possession of it is a felony and you MUST contact a lawyer to surrender it and not face charges. You CANNOT render a banned by name / model firearm "ban compliant".
5) The FIREARM is the lower receiver / receiver group with the trigger assembly and hammer. This is the part that the ATF and CA DOJ defines as the "firearm", all other parts are legal to own accessories, generally.Comment
