Yes they send the recipient a letter. Took about 2-3 months for me to receive the confirmation.

Took me about 2-3 weeks for mine to arrive. It varies.

do I need to register every gun I own

I have a revolver and rifle that were my dad's. My brother has held on to them for me for 20 years and I recently got them back. Do I need to register them? I'm pretty sure they have never been registered.

I thought I created a thread on this, but I guess I replied to one. Doh!

I found this:
How do I know if my firearms need to be registered?

There is no firearm registration requirement in California except for assault weapon owners and personal handgun importers. However, you may submit a Firearm Ownership Record to the DOJ for any firearm you own. Having a Firearm Ownership Record on file with the DOJ may help in the return of your firearm if it is lost or stolen. With very few and specific exceptions, all firearm transactions must be conducted through a firearms dealer.

The usual ten day waiting period should be enough for the initail transfer. Letter in a few months.
