I would not finish making the lower receiver until after you're legally 18. While you're not "buying/transferring" the receiver, California can be scary with that stuff.

I must plead ignorant on whether you need to register your firearm, however there was a new law that started in Cali during 2013 regarding long gun registration. I wont be buying a new long gun in California ever, however, you may want to look up the new policy. It may or may not pertain to making your own.

I waited til 22 to get mine purely to avoid all issues regarding age.
