California Senate Bill 704 significantly alters the transfer of standalone firearm barrels starting January 1, 2026. All such transfers must now occur in person through a licensed firearms dealer (FFL). By July 1, 2027, an eligibility check and electronic reporting to the DOJ will be required for these transfers, creating a tracked transaction process. The law also broadens the definition of a 'firearm barrel' to include unfinished or partially finished items designed to become barrels.

As of July 1st, California requires background checks for ammunition purchases. Individuals in the Automated Firearm System (AFS) undergo a check with a $1 fee, while those not in AFS face a $19 fee and a 10-day waiting period. This law mandates the reporting of extensive personal data to the California DOJ with each ammo purchase, impacting both residents and out-of-state visitors.
