Just a barrel is okay. One thing to remember, a threaded pistol barrel is legal to own, but they are illegal to install on semiauto pistols with a removable magazine.
WoW, although as strange as that sounds it doesn't really surprise me, this is CA. Thanks

You say "socal". Welcome to the sardine can.
Be aware, too, that if you live within an L.A. City zipcode, 900--, you will not be able to have ammunition shipped to your door. You'd have to purchase locally through retailers (LAX Ammunition is a good source not only for name-brand but also for their own factory-new and reloaded stuff).

2A was "political" when it was first adopted.

^ That's interesting. Did they write the regs referring only to zip codes (delivery areas)? I thought it was fairly well known that zip codes (delivery areas) don't necessarily follow geopolitical borders.
After all, it makes sense for a post office to deliver in a rough circle around its location and to therefore ignore actual city boundaries.
I ran into this problem with car insurance. Although we did not live in Denver (with its high-risk area insurance rates) our zip code (delivery area) was from a post office just over the border in Denver proper. Hence we had a "Denver" address. Had to fight with the insurance company over that to get the lower rates.
Males me wonder how often that happens with restrictions on ammo deliveries, as well as individual cities' restrictions on so-called assault weapons, etc. You've got a Liberaltown mailing address, so you think you can't own a rifle with a bayonet lug or pop garden squirrels with your BB gun, when you really can, legally.

Ammo delivery in CA is a rat's nest of misinformation. Generally, sellers (their legal departments/advisors) figure the risk of getting it wrong is higher than the potential profit, so they err on the side of restrictive.
A careful inspection of many of the ammo laws at the local level show they are written to apply to local businesses. Convincing an out of state vendor of that would be the issue.
Anecdotes suggest it can be done.
ETA calguns.net appears to be mostly back - still a few problems - as of 19:45 PST Saturday evening.

calguns.net is an excellent source for info on CA.
However, the site has been down for several days due to the web hosting service (GeoVario) crashing.
EDIT:
11-28-15 = calguns.net is back online.

That is a very good summation of the ammunition situation. I have friends who have no problems, and yet they live within city limits of Los Angeles. Others I know in local neighborhoods only a few miles from them can't get much. Go figure. L.A. is so spread out, so expect anything, none of which makes sense.

L.A. City zip codes range from city to suburb... 90066 (a suburb named Mar Vista) or 90045 (one named Westchester), to use two examples are no-ship red flags for vendors, even local ones that ship.
Other L.A. city zip codes, say for Pacific Palisades (a suburb a few miles farther from the city center) are 90272. Not a red flag. It's the 9-double-aught zips that seem to be the issue.

Since I don't think there is any risk at all, I can't assign it to anyone. The laws of which I am aware are applied to vendors.
But I am not a 'deep-pocketed business' hated by the California Legislature and its fellow travelers at the local level. If my lawyers told me their evaluation was I should not do 'X', I think a complaint from some yahoo in the internet - present writer definitely included! - would not be very influential in getting me to do 'X'.

Depends what gun the barrel is for. In the Ruger .22 semi auto series MK I through MK III the barrel is integral to the upper and carries the serial number. Changing the barrel requires going through all the purchase crap as it is considered a new purchase.
When this happened to me I got a bit irritated, let the gun shop deal with it and put it on consignment in trade for a Mossberg Persuader.
