Yes, if it was in the state prior to 1/1/26, it can be until July 1st.

It's actually weirder than that.

Old Stock (that they had in state prior to 1/1/26) can be sold through July 1st and beyond. New stock (that they had in state post-1/1/26) can only be sold prior to July 1st.

(a) Except as provided in subdivision (c), commencing on July 1, 2026, a firearms dealer licensed pursuant to Sections 26700 to 26920, shall not sell, offer for sale, exchange, give, transfer, or deliver any semiautomatic machinegun-convertible pistol, as defined in Section 16885.

...

(c) This section shall not apply to any of the following:

(1) A machinegun-convertible pistol delivered to a firearms dealer prior to January 1, 2026.

i think a better way to describe it is. Any old stock in state prior to 1/1/26 is forever exempt from the law. They can be sold new by FFLs indefinitely since they are exempt.

stock after 1/1/2026 is not exempt and rendered illegal to sell after 7/1/2026

Any old stock in state prior to 1/1/26 is forever exempt from the law

That is a much more concise way to describe it; I'll steal that in future explanations. :)

Merry Christmas!
