No more BB??
Hey guys, I'm a little confused about the upcoming AW registration. Way I understand it bullet buttons will be no more. I have a off list UZI pistol with a bullet button. What do I have to do to keep this gun legal next year (not 26in so can't register). If I simply remove the forward grip and the BB am I GTG(making it same as any other pistol)?
Thanks |

you either have to register it as an assault weapon or make it compliant with the new laws (TBD next year exactly how). There is no way to make a pistol featureless so that route is not viable.

Removing the second handgrip will make your semi-auto pistol featureless and it will no longer need a maglock + 10 round magazine to be CA legal. |

>26" OAL only applies to RAW rifles - not pistols ... unless you plan on permanently converting your pistol into a rifle (like some sig MPX users have thought about).

Yep...
As long as the Uzi does not have a shoulder stock or any other "evil features" then it may be possible to configure it as featureless. Shoulder stock would make it an SBR and not legal in California as well as being an NFA violation. One "gotcha" on many guns of this type is the barrel shroud. The gun must not have anything that protects you from burning your hand or otherwise covers the barrel other than the slide. Also the flash hider must be removed and the threaded barrel either turned down to remove the threads or have a thread protector permanently attached. This one could be configured as featureless by removing the barrel threads: This one would be more difficult due to the barrel shroud: Potentially, the only option for the 2nd one would be registration, or some way to fix the magazine so that it can not be removed without disassembling the action... make it a top-loader.

But in that case it must be 26" and have a 16" barrel.

This will be Kamala's good bye present to CA. However take some solace that she is a Senator with no seniority in the minority party. Perhaps her capital building office assignment with be a 100sf with no windows next to the men's room.

If we do have to keep the bullet buttons it will be because too many people feel the need to make these repetitive threads which give lawmakers something to consider before the law becomes final.

The possibility of reopening the registry permitting the removal of magazine locks and using large-cap mags has been openly discussed on this forum for 10 years. It's not new, not unknown to Sacramento... yet the prohibition was not defined in the new law. Instead they went the other way, redefining magazine detachment in a way that negates any legal purpose of the BB, rendering it legally useless.
