California Sales Suspended: AB 1263 & SB 704 — New Firearm Barrel, Accessory & Manufacturing-Machine Rules Effective January 1, 2026
Effective January 1, 2026, two California laws — AB 1263 and SB 704 — impose FFL-transfer, written-notice, age-verification, and reporting requirements on firearm barrels, accessories, and manufacturing machines shipped into the state; and as of July 1, 2026 a third law, AB 1127, bars California dealers from selling certain semi-automatic "machinegun-convertible" pistols. These sit on top of California's existing rules for firearm precursor parts and ammunition. Until we can build a fully compliant process, Centerfire Systems has suspended all shipments to California. Here's what changed and what it means for your order.
