California DOJ will sue any company ignoring their laws. Within a couple of months all those companies will stop.

Now we need a list of low cost FFL's that will accept your parts orders without a heavy service charge.

I don't think they are going to ignore the laws, they will try to comply with the draconic garbage to the best of there ability. Bedsides California government is running low on money, so much so they actually abandoned alot of laws they were planning. I highly doubt they will be able to afford all those lawsuits.

CA is 50 some odd billion in the red, actually over a trillion if you count everything. But of course, they have unlimited funds in the form of just simply raising taxes even more to account for the massive deficit. Hopefully, the lawsuits left and right will continue to drain the coffers, as well as the other idiocies like the choo choo to nowhere.

I’d love to see CA declare bankruptcy, it would be such sweet karma to officially declare this place Califailure and pin the blame on Nuisance and the Democrats that have destroyed it.
 
Ibex Armament (MN) is shipping to CA. Based principled folks. Excellent Holosun quotes and service.

Revival Defense (TX) is shipping to CA. Occasionally great PD trade-in deals. Excerpt from their mailing list:
“At this time, all California orders for affected firearm related components are temporarily paused while we implement an encrypted identity verification system. We expect this system to be live within approximately one week. Once implemented, we will resume shipping applicable components in compliance with the new requirements.

California orders for non restricted components under AB 1263 will continue to ship as normal. This includes items such as flashlights, optics, optic mounts, chronographs, and similar accessories.”

Do we need to add holsters to that list of items needing signature? I was searching around and the engines are saying yes.

Wilson Combat is shipping to CA: https://wilsoncombat.com/wc-shipping-restrictions

Shipping of Restricted Items: California AB-1263 Regulated Products​

In accordance with California AB-1263 (effective January 1, 2026) and SB-704 (effective July 1, 2027), Wilson Combat has updated its shipping protocols for the State of California. We categorize our products into three tiers to ensure we meet all legal requirements while maintaining accessibility for our customers.

Tier 1: Restricted "Firearm-Related Products" (as of January 1, 2026)

All California sales of certain firearms accessories must include:
  • Displaying the California Manufacturing Notice to the buyer.
  • Recording the buyer’s acknowledgment of the Manufacturing Notice.
  • Collecting proof of age (18 or older) from a government-issued photo ID that includes an address matching the shipping address.
Merchants, such as Wilson Combat, must enforce the following shipping restrictions:
  • Ensure all packages are conspicuously labeled with the words "Signature and proof of identification of person aged 18 years or older required for delivery."
  • Ensure the shipping address matches the purchaser’s identification.
  • Require the purchaser, upon delivery, to present proof of identification to the courier and sign for the delivery.
Per AB-1263, the types of Wilson Combat products that are in scope include (but may not be limited to) the following:
  • Action Components: All triggers, trigger components, bolts, carriers, and firing pins. [Essentially, all components/parts of a firearm except for screws]
  • Magazines and Reloading Aids: All magazines (regardless of capacity or style), magwells, speed loaders, and magazine extension basepads.
  • Assault Weapon Features: Pistol grips, forward grips, grip modules (e.g., SIG P320/P365 modules), telescoping stocks, and flash suppressors/muzzle brakes.
  • Structural Parts: Custom slides (stripped or complete), handguards, shrouds, and internal pins or springs clearly designed for firearm assembly.
  • Reloading Dies and Tools: The definition of a "firearm-related product" includes ammunition; these tools are included.
Tier 2: Restricted Firearm Barrels (from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027)

Merchants, such as Wilson Combat, must enforce the following shipping restrictions:
  • Ensure all packages are conspicuously labeled with the words "Signature and proof of identification of person aged 18 years or older required for delivery."
  • Ensure the shipping address matches the purchaser’s identification.
  • Require the purchaser, upon delivery, to present proof of identification to the courier and sign for the delivery.
Per AB-1263, the types of Wilson Combat products that are in scope include (but may not be limited to) the following:
  • All standalone rifle, pistol, and shotgun barrels.
Tier 2: Restricted Firearm Barrels (as of July 1, 2027)

Merchants, such as Wilson Combat, must enforce the following shipping restrictions:
  • Ensure all orders for these items are shipped to a California-Licensed Firearms Dealer (FFL). The recipient must verify their identity in person and comply with DOJ reporting requirements.
As of July 1, 2027, per SB-704, the types of Wilson Combat products that are in scope include (but may not be limited to) the following:
  • All standalone rifle, pistol, and shotgun barrels.
Tier 3: Non-Regulated Items (Exempt from all requirements of AB-1263 and SB-704)
  • Aiming Devices: All standalone optics (Red Dots, Scopes, Magnifiers).
  • Optic Mounting Hardware: Standalone mounting plates (True Zero plates), scope rings, and Picatinny rails.
    • Note: If the plate is integrated into a regulated "Custom Slide," it is subject to Tier 1 rules.
  • Iron Sights: Front and rear iron sight sets.
  • Maintenance & Aesthetic Hardware: Individual grip screws, decorative medallions, cleaning solvents, lubricants, and brushes.
  • Soft Goods: Holsters, mag pouches, range bags, and apparel, printed and electronic product manuals.
  • General Tools: Standard wrenches, screwdrivers, and punches not proprietary to "manufacturing" (e.g., bushing wrenches).
We have removed Tier 3 items from the compliance scope based on the following analysis:
  • Non-Mechanical: Items like screws and medallions are not "parts sets clearly designed for manufacturing" a firearm's action or firing capability.
  • Aiming vs. Operation: Sights and optics are aiming devices. AB-1263 targets devices that increase the "rate of fire," "speed of reload," or "lethality" via mechanical features (like flash suppressors). Standalone glass and iron sights do not modify the firearm's mechanical rate of fire.
  • Mounting Platforms: Mounting plates are interfaces for exempt aiming devices. They are not structural components of the firearm's action or "Assault Weapon" features as defined by PC § 30515.
Additional shipping notes for California orders
  • We can only ship orders containing Tier 1 or Tier 2 items (until June 30, 2027, for Tier 2) to the address listed on your provided validation document (e.g., California Driver's License). Ensure that the shipping address selected at checkout matches your ID. By law, your shipping address must match the address listed on your verified ID. We cannot ship regulated items to a different address (e.g., a workplace or secondary residence). If it does not match, we will not be able to ship your order, and it will be canceled. You will not be billed if your order is not shipped.
  • If an order contains even one Tier 1 or Tier 2 item, the entire package must ship via the Adult Signature protocol described here.
  • California law requires all regulated parts to be delivered with "Adult Signature Required" confirmation.
    • Carrier Age Standards: While the law allows 18-year-olds to purchase these parts, major shipping carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS) define an "Adult Signature" as a person 21 years of age or older.
    • Delivery: Someone aged 21+ must be present at the delivery address to show ID and sign for the package. If no one 21+ is available, the carrier will not leave the package. Your package will be returned, and your order will be canceled. You will be refunded for your order, less shipping costs (and applicable taxes on shipping costs).
    • Surcharges: An additional surcharge may be applied to all orders requiring an "Adult Signature".
  • You will be required to complete additional validation for your orders after your order has been submitted. We utilize a US-based service provider to collect and process the required validation documents. All documents are stored and processed in a US-based data center in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • Please check your junk or spam folder for both your order confirmation and an additional email with a link you must visit to upload the required validation documents.
 
We will continue to ship to California.

We have a form on our site that allows customers to easily upload their ID and Signature (using encryption). We feel there are probably too many vendors (and customers) who are not handling this information very securely. Could be a separate discussion thread.

Having to ship to my home address and then sign for it is essentially going to mean I can't order anything online anymore. I'm at work during the week and try to ship to my office whenever I have expensive things coming in so now I got to figure out another option.
 
NDZ performance will be shipping to CA: https://ndzperformance.com/shipping-returns/

ATTENTION CALIFORNIA CUSTOMERS: FINAL ORDER DEADLINE – DECEMBER 30TH, 2025

Starting January 1st, 2026, new California state laws will require ID verification for all online purchases of gun parts and accessories. NDZ Performance is actively working to update our e-commerce system to comply with these regulations and continue serving California customers legally. To allow time for implementation, we will be temporarily halting all orders shipping to California effective December 31st, 2025. What this means for you: If you're in California and want to order any NDZ Performance parts under current regulations, your last day to place an order is December 30th, 2025. We know many of you have been loyal NDZ customers for years. We're not stepping away; we're adjusting to meet new legal standards. Once our verification system is live, we'll reopen California orders with full compliance.

We have chosen to ship USPS Restricted Signature Required, so that it will go to your local post office if you aren't home. Then you can pick it up during lunch or after work. This may or may not work for your exact situation, but it may help others.
 
Anyone heard anything about Staccato? I ordered replacement parts (mainly springs) on 12/24 with no shipping update, and I haven’t received any response on follow up emails either.

Damn, just checked your site out and my only complaint is I'm not much of an AR guy. The platform is so neutered in CA it undoes any ergonomic benefit to it to me.

Though I should get my AR to the range soon. It's been sitting locked up for a couple years now.

"Locked up and not at the range" is exactly what the politicians wanted. I totally understand though, with every new law and regulation, gun ownership becomes more "frustrating".

Most of my AR's are featureless. So, I use a muzzle brake instead of a flash hider, I pin my adjustable stock (plenty of free and easy ways to do this without permanent damage), then I use our rifle grip. It changes the ergonomics to more like a shotgun. It's obviously not ideal, but my rifles are very close to the same as any other AR in function and usefulness. You should get your AR out... have fun and use it and check out the current good options available that might make it more bearable for you.
