Noober question regarding shipping a Rifle action

[hunterb]

Hello everyone,

I did a Google and site search and didn't really get a 100% definitive answer so wanted to enlist the expertise of you guys on here.
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before!

I purchased a Defiance action from bugholes.com and am wondering if it needs to be shipped to an FFL (I am in Commiefornia)
---Is a non-barreled rifle action considered a firearm?

Just a little nervous, this will be my first custom rifle and just the action cost more than my last rifle....

...also, I kind of want another .308 (I know, I know) but my brother is pushing me hard to get a .260 Remington. (He reloads for me).

Anyways, thank you very much for the help!

The action will need to be sent to your FFL and transfered to you.

Doesn't matter if there is a barrel or not. Whenever a receiver is in the equation, so is an FFL.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the quick answer guys! Time to call my FFL...

Must go to an FFL.
Either one is a great round. 308 barrels last eons but the 260 will be flatter shooting at longer ranges.

Not a "firearm", but most definitely must transfer through an ffl.

It is short and sweet. Woody at Bugholes is not going to ship an action to an individual without and FFL.

And especially in Commifornia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only must it ship to an FFL, but when shipping to CA it must also comply with CA DOJ rules requiring a shipment letter, meaning that if shipping from a dealer outside of CA the dealer must must register with CA DOJ and obtain/enclose the letter before shipping.
