My dad wants to send me a AR pistol. Can he send it to me fully or does he need to send it in parts?

Barrels are now supposed to go through an FFL.

Have him install a compmag or some other current California mag locking device and send the whole thing to an FFL that you've arranged with. They will let you know what else to send (gift letter, parent ID, etc...).
Make sure to coordinate with the FFL beforehand and find out what all they want to have included with the firearm. Ask 10 different ffls and you'll get 10 different answers, look a few threads over for example.

When did that happen? How do you transfer an item without a serial number?
