Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new law regarding 80% lower receivers in California?

As of January 1, 2024, possessing any unserialized, unfinished 80% frame or receiver, whether polymer or metal, is a crime in California, punishable by up to one year in jail per item. This significantly changes previous regulations.

What are the options for metal 80% lower receivers in California before the ban?

For metal 80% lowers, the most viable legal option is to apply for and engrave a state-approved serial number via the CFARS system before January 1, 2024. Other options include moving them out of state, surrendering them to law enforcement, or destroying them.

Is it legal to build a Polymer80 pistol in California after January 1, 2024?

No, it is practically impossible for individuals to legally build a functional firearm from a Polymer80 frame in California after January 1, 2024. Existing P80s do not meet the strict embedding requirements for serialization, and only licensed manufacturers can legally build and transfer them.
