If your order has passed the expected ship time, please contact our Customer Service team and we will investigate the delay.

Notice to California Customers – AB 1263 and SB 704

California has passed new laws — AB 1263 and SB 704 — imposing additional restrictions on firearm accessories, parts, and barrels.

AB 1263 imposes age and identity verification requirements and strict shipping requirements on certain firearm accessories and parts. Affected product categories may include pistol grips, thumbhole stocks, folding or telescoping stocks, flash suppressors, shrouds and handguards, and other firearm accessories identified by California as potentially usable in the manufacture of firearms. If this law goes into effect as written, Grit Guardian may be required to suspend direct sales of affected items to retail (non-FFL) customers in California.

SB 704 requires all firearm barrel transfers (including complete uppers and rifle kits) to California customers to be completed in person through a California firearms dealer. If this law goes into effect as written, all barrels, complete uppers, and rifle kits must be shipped to a licensed firearms dealer for transfer to you.

We strongly encourage California customers to contact their state legislators about these laws and to address any needs for affected products promptly. We will continue updating customers as this situation evolves.

Flamethrower Restrictions

Flamethrowers are generally legal in the United States without a background check; however, restrictions apply in certain states and localities. Grit Guardian does not ship flamethrowers to Alaska, Hawaii, California, Maryland, or the city of Warren, Michigan. Check your local laws — it is your responsibility to understand and adhere to all relevant regulations.
