California has had an increase in legislation pass recently. As of January 1, 2026; barrels may only ship to a dealer, manufacturer, or importer type FFL. During checkout you’ll need to provide the FFL name, address, and FFL number in the note section and/or as an uploaded file.
If the steps are not followed, we will have to cancel the order and issue a refund.
Information (1 file) may be uploaded during checkout or on your order details page.
Go to “My Account”, “Orders”, and click on the order number. Below your billing address you’ll see the button to upload your file.
Bill Summary Affecting This Change
What is California Law SB-704?
Beginning January 1, 2026, California SB 704 makes it unlawful to ship or deliver any standalone firearm barrel directly to a California resident, requiring instead that all such barrels—finished or readily convertible—be shipped only to a California-licensed FFL for pickup.
Then, starting July 1, 2027, the law adds a second, stronger layer: the buyer must appear in person at the FFL and complete a DOJ-prescribed eligibility/background check, and the dealer must record and electronically report purchaser and barrel details (name, DOB, ID, address, caliber/model) to the California DOJ. In short, Jan 1 2026 restricts shipping, forcing all barrel deliveries to go through an FFL, while July 1 2027 regulates the actual transfer, turning barrels into an in-person, background-checked component transaction similar to a firearm.
