Only pistols and handguns must be registered in California but all firearms purchasers are subjected to a federal backround check or "D.R.O.S", reguardless of whether they are buying a handgun, pistol, or long gun. People become confused and belive that the federal background check is a formal registration of the firearm being purchased, it is not. If you are buying a pistol you will notice that after you have completed the "D.R.O.S and are confirmed to have a clean background you will then start filling out the paperwork for the firearms registration itself.
