Notice to California Customers – AB 1263 and SB 704

Key portions of these laws are scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026.

AB 1263

AB 1263 imposes age and identity verification requirements, acknowledgment requirements, and strict shipping requirements related to the sale and delivery of firearm accessories, parts, and equipment capable of producing firearm components.

Read the full text of AB 1263 here.

If AB 1263 goes into effect as currently written, we will not ship following items to customers in California.

Affected product categories may include:

  • Pistol grips, including forward pistol grips
  • Thumbhole stocks
  • Folding or telescoping stocks
  • Flash suppressors and flash hiders
  • Shrouds and handguards
  • All types of handgrips
  • Other firearm accessories, parts, or tools identified by the State of California as being potentially usable in the manufacture of firearms

The law is vague, so the exact scope of the law is still being interpreted and this list may change.

SB 704

SB 704 establishes new restrictions and controls specifically targeting the sale, shipment, and transfer of firearm barrels (including complete uppers and rifle kits). Effective January 1, 2026, all firearm barrel transfers to California customers must be completed in person through a California firearms dealer.

Read the full text of SB 704 here.

As of right now, SB 704 and AB1263 go into effect January 1, 2026, we will not ship any gun parts or accessories to a California address. Because of shipping times and holiday delays, any orders after December 19th will not be shipped to a California address.
