Importing High Capacity Mag Parts vs. the assembled mag

[Trickshot]

I purchased a conversion kit but had the +10 rd mag left in another state with the remaining parts sent to me in CA. Therefore the mag which is illegal in CA is not imported and I am not in violation. The idea would be to have it permanently blocked out of state and then shipped to me once made CA legal.

Here's my question:
If the magazine is disassembled into its parts, can it be shipped in as parts and never assembled or blocked here in CA? Or is it not even legal to ship in the parts? Have read many different version of the penal code rules which specify the mags assuming they are assembled and makes reference to conversion kits to increase CA compliant mags to high capacity. Have also read that you can own the disassembled parts in CA and reassemble when you leave the state borders but this applies to out of state residents moving in and legacy high capacity mag owners.

Hoping someone can shed some light.

Hoping you're just trolling but if you're really asking this question, what magazine are you trying to assemble that you can't buy in a 10-round version here?
