            OLL rifles do NOT have to be registered in this state. Nor do any long guns. Assault weapons have to be registered, but the dead lines have passed for that so you do that anymore.
            Handguns don't have to be registered, however, if you have bought one recently, it's registered in this state. Also, you must register handgun transactions between family members in guns you brought in from out of state when you move here.

              No. OLL lowers are long guns, not handguns.

                As indicated by previous posts, no. It's not like a handgun.

                The new 4473 form includes a box to check if the gun is a handgun, long gun or "other", which includes a bare receiver.

                You still have to pay the DROS fee and wait 10-days however.

                  That is COMPLETELY wrong. Other than 'assault weapons', registration is not required for possession of any firearm in CA.

                  Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!
