Nope, not from EGW at least. They say the new law does not have a carve-out for FFL-03.what if you have an ffl coe ?
They need to rethink this policy because they wouldn't even be in compliance with AB1263 by shipping to an FFL. AB1263 doesn't even mention FFLs it only meantions "reasonable controls" meaning taking ID and shipping to the billing address.

I'm kinda waiting until the state promulgates regulations because they should be more specific. There should also be a comment period where we can make public comments and point out if the regs are more broad than the bill text. At some point it will pop up on here: https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/regsContact Us

I Recommend people let them know how they feel about this, I did.
Theyve actually been doing that for a while now that's not new.Just got this during my purchase of a barrel
Depends. It is already illegal to print a "firearm" as federally defined - i.e. unserialized lower receivers. Starting Jan 1, you could also be found civilly liable if you use - or help someone else use - a 3D printer or CNC machine (as defined under §3273.50(g)) to print any part used in assembly of an unserialized weapon, including newly defined "firearm accessories". If these parts result in injury or property damage (by you or others), you could be found civilly liable for damages. There's a lot of misconception flying around here... for the time being, I would assume grip modules, magazines, trigger parts, barrels, anything that renders a handgun "unsafe", etc are definitely restricted. Anything that turns your gun into a full auto or replicates it electronically would be a criminal penalty. Vice blocks? Tools? Don't sweat this... and if you want to print an accessory for your own use... honestly I wouldn't sweat that either. Just don't go selling them on eBay from California.Is the 3d printing or everything ban in effect yet or does that start jan 1st.
thats been there for a while - saw that back in June.Just got this during my purchase of a barrel
