Online out of state C & R purchase

[TRICKSTER]

I purchased a C & R long gun from an out of state gun shop on line. After sending payment and a copy of my Class 3, I was told by the shop that they could not ship to California. They say they will be able to arrange shipment to my local FFL dealer. My question is: once the firearm gets to my FFL, do I have to go through the whole DROS process and waiting period? I wasn't able to find an answer to this question on past threads, so I'll ask and see if anyone can give me an idea. Thanks.

There is no reason that the rifle can't be sent directly to you.

Send this DOJ Bulletin to them.

The first paragraph of page 2 specifically states that C&R long guns are exempt from the CFLC program. For 50+ year old long guns, CA 03's are just like those in any other state. Who is this online dealer?
