How to convert S&W to single action so it can be imported to Ca

[brucev]

Just found and read this post. Glad to see that there is a legitimate means by which folks in california can legally buy and own the S&W revolvers they want.

shooting4life, what I'm saying is, it's not a single action design. It's a double action design with single action capability that only has the double action disabled.......

of course, you already knew this...

no dog in this fight, left Kalifornia decades ago for free America...

What it was or what it was designed to be does not matter, what it is is all that matters.

I am impressed by the ingenuity shown here. It just goes to show you that what my old Daddy used to tell me is so true...

" Son where there is a WILL there is a WAY... all you gotta do is find it. "

Many shooters in other states tend to blindly overlook the fact that, even as the minority in our home state of California, we still comprise a dedicated group which vastly dwarfs that of most any other state.

There is also no lack of well-educated and highly capable minds here to scrutinize our restrictive gun laws. Because of all those efforts, there are COMPLETELY LEGAL ways for us to enjoy most all the same benefits that people in other states take for granted.

Thanks for posting this great thread, Shooting4life. You do us all a great service by bringing this up, and I would suggest that this information might even be used as a sticky somewhere on this website, so that our brothers in other states can educate themselves on such matters.

Here is a URL listing everything a potential CA buyer may want to know regarding importing a non-roster firearm that is 49 years old or newer into California. via SSE http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=383692

50yrs or older are C&R and do not need to be converted.
