FSC expiring between DROS and pickup?

That doesn't say that you need it for pickup, just that the pickup is the cutoff for having one (though to be honest, I don't see how you would even start DROS without one.)

The answer to OP's question is pretty simple, though: Call your FFL and ask what you need at time of pickup. Do it a little early in case he does want to see a valid FSC.

I’m not sure where you are located but if you are near Walsers in Torrance you can try them not sure if they do tests there. There isn’t a long wait there. Passed by turners and they only had 3 cars in their parking lot mid afternoon.
