What This Law Changes
Beginning July 1, 2026, Virginia law restricts the sale, transfer, and manufacture of firearms that fall under the statute’s assault-firearm definition, as well as magazines over 15 rounds. Items lawfully possessed before the effective date are generally treated differently than new post-effective-date transactions.
How C4 Armory Is Handling Transfers
C4 Armory may decline inbound transfers of items that appear to be covered by HB217/SB749, including affected magazines. This policy applies regardless of where the item was purchased. If an item cannot be transferred, return shipping and related costs remain the buyer’s responsibility.
Why This Policy Is Conservative
Court rulings and injunction activity can change quickly and may be narrow in scope. Because enforcement and civil-risk questions are still evolving, C4 Armory is choosing a cautious compliance posture to protect its federal license, business continuity, and customers from avoidable legal complications.
Stripped Lower Receivers
Stripped lowers are a legally sensitive area under current interpretations. Even when a transfer question appears arguable, downstream build configuration and post-transfer use can create risk under manufacturing provisions. Until legal guidance is clearer, C4 Armory may decline these transfers as part of the same risk-managed policy.
What Customers Should Do Before Ordering
- Review the definition chart before placing an order.
- Confirm your item configuration and magazine capacity.
- Contact C4 Armory first if you are unsure whether your item is covered.
