Orchid eState (UPC/API compliance for firearms, ammo, and parts)
New California Law- AB-1263 and SB-704
CA AB-1263, signed October 11, 2025, expands what counts as unlawful firearm manufacturing, adds new rules for barrels, accessories, and manufacturing equipment, increases liability for digital manufacturing code, and introduces new 10-year prohibitions for certain misdemeanors. The law impacts California FFLs as well as out-of-state businesses selling to or interacting with California residents.
We’re providing two resources to help FFLs navigate AB-1263:
1 – Video Briefing Replay
On November 20, 2025, Attorney Philip D. Milks, SVP of Orchid’s Regulatory Practice, hosted a live briefing explaining the major impacts of AB-1263 for FFLs nationwide.
2 – Written Synopsis
A written summary of AB-1263 is available on Orchid’s website. It is not legal advice, but offers a high-level overview to help FFLs prepare for the law taking effect January 1, 2026.

New York Customers: P12 Form Implementation for Handguns
As part of our ongoing commitment to compliance with state regulations, we’ve implemented the use of the P12 form for all handgun acquisitions and dispositions in New York. Once the NYS P12 form toggle is enabled in Store configuration, options, all transactions involving handguns will now populate a P12 form.
Pending Gun Sale – Available Serial Numbers
A new pop-up now appears on the pending gun sale screen when a selected serial number becomes out of sync between POS and eBound, such as when it has been corrected in one platform but not the other.

Bug Fix:
· Resolved an issue where selecting the “+” button would not add a new vendor to a part if another vendor had already been assigned.
· Fixed an issue where inbound transfers remained “Open” due to a new tab being launched instead of staying on the current screen.
