Gavin Newsom signed a slew of new gun regulations into law yesterday.
One of the bills signed was AB 879.
Bill Text - AB-879 Firearms.
You will need a "firearm precursor parts license" from the state to sell a gun part that the CA DOJ deems a precursor part. Also makes it illegal to sell any precursor part to someone under the age of 21 and all transactions have to go through a FFL and a background check will need to be done, $1 if you have a gun registered to the address that's listed on your drivers license and $15 if you do not (which from then on you'll be on record and any new purchases and you can then use the $1 for the DROS). Doesn't go into effect until 2024.
So anyone who wants to customize there firearm they already own or wants to replace a broken part will be subjected to extra fees and wait times.

SEC. 2. Section 16531 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
16531. (a) As used in this part, “firearm precursor part” means a component of a firearm that is necessary to build or assemble a firearm and is described in either of the following categories:
(1) An unfinished receiver, including both a single part receiver and a multiple part receiver, such as a receiver in an AR-10- or AR-15-style firearm. An unfinished receiver includes a receiver tube, a molded or shaped polymer frame or receiver, a metallic casting, a metallic forging, and a receiver flat, such as a Kalashnikov-style weapons system, Kalashnikov-style receiver channel, or a Browning-style receiver side plate.
(2) An unfinished handgun frame.
(b) The Department of Justice, consistent with this section, shall provide written guidance and pictorial diagrams demonstrating each category of firearm precursor part specified in subdivision (a).
