There is no registration of non-assault weapon long arms (rifles and shotguns) in CA.
Assault weapon registration ended years ago and you can no longer register an assault weapon (there are a few exemptions for LE and active-duty military).
When you purchase/transfer a long arm (rifle/shotgun) in CA, the DROS does not list the serial number for the long arm. All the DROS is indicating to CA DOJ is you transfered a rifle/shotgun. Nothing is registered.
Handguns do get registered when you purchase/transfer/aquire in CA. Make/model/serial #s are indicated on the DROS that CA DOJ gets.
In CA, ARs with a fixed 10 round magazine are just rifles, not assault weapons (except ARs listed as a Category 1 & 2 assault weapon by make/model).
If you bought a fixed mag AR in CA, you bought a rifle, nothing was registered with CA DOJ, because it's just a rifle.
