There are two exemptions to the roster that come into play.
The first one is the Olympic Competition Pistol exemption list, which has the 52-1 and 52-2 pistols listed. This is a lesser known roster exemption and many CA FFL's do not even know of it's existence, so print off that listing Delta Rose furnished, to have it handy to show to an LGS.
The 2nd exemption is the C&R exemption. The 52 "no-dash" is not on the Olympic exemption list, but it's production years firmly qualify it for C&R due to age.
The CA DROS online system has a transaction selection for Olympic Pistols sales and another for C&R's.
Also note... CA's definition of an age based C&R is slightly different than Federal.
The BATF states that to qualify for the C&R age criteria, a firearm has to be
at least 50 years prior to the current date.
CA law states that to meet the C&R age criteria exemption, it must be
over 50 years old.
