I'm not sure aboutthe whole gun, but I believe the threaded barrel is a no go. I will offer a trade, if you get it, to trade my standard barrel for your threaded barrel. Just putting it out there.
The FNX45T FDE is an awesome gun especially since it is the more accurate one.....

 

I think that I will have to weld the thread on to the barel and get 10 round mag to make it cali-nutered. Anything else?

 

Tactical


You have to find a dealer that will do a Single shot exemption.They will switch barrell ,usually a 25 caliber barrell ,mag well block,Also block mags to 10 rounds.Then when you pick it up ,you walk to your car ,switch everything back to normal ,return parts .On your marry way.You only have to end of year ,There is a bill trying to get through that will stop this,That is all pistols not CA roster Even AR -15 pistols.The price is on the dealer,average is about $1000 to $1200.Where to you live in Ca. ?I have bought 5 pistols this way.

 

San Francisco. Any advice on where to go?

I have a buddy, buys alot of guns in Kali, I will ask him.

 

I also have a standard FNX.45 that I will trade for a threaded barrel

 

This is not the place to be doing trades.

 

I have a friends in the area so I'll check with them. Cal guns has a listing of SSE LGS so should be able to find them there.
I'm south of you in LA so I have options local to me if your out of luck in SF area.

IMHO, I would not trade or sell the barrel if you can avoid it. Rather, buy an aftermarket barrel and retain this for when you move out of CA (note: I do not believe in selling ). Possession of threaded barrel is not illegal, rather it cannot be installed in the FNX so just need for the seller to ship barrel separate. I purchased my barrel from EFK. Great barrel and have no issues or complaints with the part so far. I got for the ported barrel because the regular was sold out. Very happy with it and seems to side with muzzle flip. Will be doing a comparison when time and location allows.

Oh one more item on magazine. If you are looking to order magblockers then make sure to let them know you have the newer mags. The new design does not work with their current molded blockers so you will need to modify yourself or wait for them to redesign it.
I'm working with Tyler at magblocker to get new molds made. No ETA.

I can post picture of things if you want.

 

Check out Calguns.net web site.Sign, up then ask questions.And check out the sponsor section,There are couple of dealers up in the Bay Area that do SSE .Hurry up though .Hope that helps.Too bad you live up north.We have a local BBQ potluck shoot at local range once a month.Its gotten so big that a local store donated raffle prizes.Nothing to bad ,maybe 10 to 15 dollars gifts,Heck I won 200 rounds of 22lr last month and Magpul 10/30 mag this last weekend.If you ever down here ,find out if one is going on.They are on Saturdays at Burro Canyon.Good luck .

 

I will be in your area over the Halloween weekend. I will try to come check you guys out! Best regards!!

 

i dont want to deal with ANY gray areas. What do I need to do to make 45 tactical California legal?
- 10 round mag?
- weld shut silencer thread?

Anything else?

 

Anyone?

 

I can't help with any Cali info, but if by "weld shut silencer thread" you mean "weld the thread protector in place" you won't be able to remove the barrel for cleaning/maintenance. Apologies if I have misunderstood.

 

Yes 10 round mag


You can't have a threaded barrel. You've already been told what you can do to make this legal.

 

^^^ this. I tried also but no dice. I got the non threaded instead. Maybe will buy the barrel next time. Good luck

 

10 round magazine. Look at Magazineblockers.com or plan to rivet to limit

No threaded barrel can be installed. You can weld the thread protector but you will not be able to fully field strip. Buy a replacement barrel. You can look to swap with someone here but will need to have the FFL work with you to swap or buy private.

 

Way late to the thread, but here are your options in California for the tactical version when going through the SSE process -

1. Buy a non-threaded barrel. You can keep the threaded version, but you absolutely can never install it while the gun is in the state.
2. The threaded barrel can not simply have the cover welded or pined to it if you want to use it in the gun. The threads will physically have to be removed with a lathe. This is the same process to get an H&K Mk23 as well.

This process ends/becomes extremely complicated and expensive on 1/1/15.

 

For the love of God, do NOT weld the cap on. If you reall want the tactical in CA, trade or buy a different barrel. Even milling the threads off the barrel. Anything but welding that cap on!

 

Real simple.

YES, you can have a threaded barrel in CALIFORNIA! IN the pistol. But to do so legally, you must ensure the cap is 'permanently' adhered to the barrel to where standard common hand tools will not remove it.

Now the question comes down to, what constitutes 'permanent'. Research P22 California DOJ. They allowed S/W, Walther to use either JB Weld/Loctite to remedy that situation-no welding. Of the 7 (SEVEN) LEOs I have spoken with that I know, AND 5 FFLs that I deal with, 3 ranges, they ALL have said the same thing. Welding is not necessary nor is pinning and they have never witnessed someone with a cap on their barrel inspected. Red Loctite is all that is needed. The closest the DOJ has come in regards to this issue is the mentioned Walther P22 problem. Also the new cap did not have wrench cuts on it. To be on the safe side, I recommend have it pinned. That is what mine is and I shoot next to LEOs all of the time, they fired my pistol often to check it out. Never an issue other than "that is bad ass!" I also know a few with just barrel caps which are Loctite'd on (HK,s, etc). Never an issue. Now if your at the range or elsewhere and LEO inspects your pistol and can remove the cap with his/her hands-your in trouble. But bottom line, they are more concerned with mag capacity than threaded barrels.

AND YES, you can still clean the barrel and slide with this setup. Easy! If your at the point where you need a new barrel, have it un-pinned or cut it and install a new one.

I can easily take anyone's pistol here with a standard barrel and turn it into a threaded barrel easier than unpinning a threaded cap on a threaded barrel.

For SSE purposes, FFLs appear to offer a few choices. One I know sold them as 'parts', not assembled. I brought my barrel from my standard plain jane FNX-45. Others would not touch it period.

 

I own two, check the FNX pic thread, definately legal as long as you follow the PC code.
