Private party transfer through CA FFL

Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.
"Private party transfer" has a special meaning in California. There's a special bit of $35 paperwork you have to fill out for it, and it requires that both people be present and have CA government-issued ID.
Since the gun is coming from out of California, it's still subject to the List. :barf:

it's still subject to the List.
Even though it's used? If so, that certainly disqualifies a lot of guns.
Yeah, tell us about it. It's backdoor ban. You can buy anything on the list... and then the conditions for the list get tighter and tighter. For example, you can't add a new gun unless it has a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect, and the DOJ is very persnickety about what counts as a "loaded chamber indicator". Next year they're hoping to add microstamping to the list of requirements.
As older models get discontinued or dropped from the list (manufacturers have to pay a fee every year to stay on the list) and newer models don't make the cut (or don't even get submitted), Californians have fewer and fewer options. Eventually, well, they didn't outright ban handguns, did they? It's not their fault nobody makes guns that meet their "safety" requirements.

Adrian,
That information is incorrect.
The private party transfer exemption to the list is for in-state private party transfers only. State to state private party sales are still subject to the list. Note that the list is more specific than it appears because it's SKU number specific even though the DOJ doesn't publish those SKU numbers.

Would you please post a citation to the law that is the basis for your statement?
NavyLT, see the answer from one of the DOJ analysts in an older thread.
Whether this is a strict legal interpretation or not, it's the DOJ's stance on the matter right now, and behaving otherwise is a good way to end up on the wrong end of a prosecution.
The Calguns Foundation believes they've found a workaround (involving transferring the bare frame, which is not a "handgun", then sending the other parts separately direct to the new owner), but that is still waiting on the Office of Adminstrative Law's stamp of approval.
