So between watching a few of Reno May's videos on AOW's, AWB stuff etc, and other research...
I've seen mention of magzines that attach outside/inside of the pistol grip.
And I'm just looking for clarification that if you have a pistol that only takes magazines IN the grip (like a regular handgun, one that's on the Roster), does that at least eleviate falling into AWB territory on some things like pistol chassis/braces?
Per PC § 30515:
I understand some chassis systems have built-in 2nd magwells/foregrips etc, I'm NOT talking about any of those.
I'm only referring to the ones that specifically can be purchased without any of the AWB items: no foregrip, no extra magwell, no barrel shroud.
Like the Strike Industries SMC Bravo chassis in its base configuration.
As far as I can see, per the letter of CA law (and not even all that gray in my eyes?), if one were to legally purchase a CA Roster-legal handgun such as a Springfield Echelon, and take the COG/stock slide etc and put it into a Bravo chassis it would be CA-legal
(IANAL of course)
Of course from there the further addition of a pistol brace would be the same question we've debated for years, that's never been tested...
But as far as I can tell, just the chassis itself is just as legal as any other grip module for an Echelon or P320/P365/RXM etc.?

Per PC § 30515:
- A semiautomatic pistol that does not have a fixed magazine but has any one of the following: (A) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; (B) A second handgrip; (C) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning the bearer's hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel; (D) The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.
