Best to legally travel out of state with it and then send it from there. The transport rules are stupid and byzantine but don't apply to the RAW owner when out of state. Then, only federal rules apply and long arms are a lot more forgiving federally.

Correct. By features AWs can have features removed to become just firearms. My advice above was as to a named AW.

Confirming Gene's latter statement.
A Category 3 receiver reg'd as an AW can nevertheless be treated like an ordinary long gun if features are not attached, not semiauto/centerfire, or whatever other permutations of configurability take it outside 12276.1PC definitions.
The above is straght from Randi Rossi & Tim Rieger of DOJ in Spring of 2004, with witnesses including Don Kilmer and (former ATF, now attorney) Jess Guy. Iggy Chinn may have been in the audience too. It's also backed by obvious inferences from a published collection of DOJ AW FAQ material.
The finisher that takes possession of your receiver does indeed need an FFL.

You should probably treat this receiver like an AW - even though it's defendably not.Originally posted by compulsivegunbuyer
Drive it outta CA and send it out/pick it up from (say) Reno.
Running it thru a CA FFL w/AW permit can be expensive.
