Theoretical question regarding private party

Theoretical question regarding private party transfers.
Imagine a person purchases a pistol under the single shot exemption. At the time of taking possession, the pistol is a single shot 22 lr. Later at some point, the owner switches out original parts for other parts that make the pistol trans-caliber and trans-shot (ie multiple shot). Can the pistol be transferred under the new configuration and should the paper-work reflect the new identifying configuration or the configuration assigned at birth?
Thank you for your time.

• Aftermarket changes or modifications made to certain single shot pistols (i.e. changing upper receivers, connecting gas tubes) may be considered manufacturing these pistols into assault weapons. See California Penal Code section 30515, subdivision (a)(1), for a list of assault weapon characteristics. The purchaser could be in violation of Penal Code section 30600, prohibiting the manufacture of assault weapons, and Penal Code section 30605(a), prohibiting the possession of unregistered assault weapons.
• The conversion of a single shot pistol to a semi-automatic pistol may constitute the manufacturing of an unsafe handgun, in violation of California Penal Code section 32000 (a), a misdemeanor.
• Alterations of a single shot pistol (i.e. changing upper receivers, connecting gas tubes) may also be considered manufacturing an unsafe handgun. See California Penal Code sections 31900-31910 for the definition of unsafe handguns and 32000(a) for more information on illegal acts involving unsafe handguns.

This is CADOJ's opinion.

That said, Yes in most cases people turn guns semi and later have resold them in that configuration.
Note I have also had people who will only PPT in the configuration they originally DROS'd in so there is no chain of custody that "they" made it semi auto.

This is silly but people will be paranoid.

I have seen.... Somewhere.... A single shot AR pistol dros done, taken home, changed to semi auto, then PPT in that configuration. Dros completed no hassle. So it's registered to the new owner as semi auto.

how much is peace of mind worth?

I bought a maglock'd AR-22 (I had no clue they had 22lr AR maglock'd), dros'd as AR-15 Rifle caliber: 22LR, (on the receiver it was stamped 223/556 instead of multi.).

I later sold the lower only as multi, receiver only via ppt.

I kept the 22lr maglock mag., its 10 rounds, steel mag, i found out it is vintage/retro/almost one of its kind.

Rimfire like .22LR are pretty much exempt from all the feature/featureless nonsense... and has a shorter OAL requirement. Unless I'm missing something, there shouldn't be any issues transferring a .22LR?

That's all regarding dealers, safe handgun regs don't apply to PPT, hence why we can buy off roster handguns through PPT.
