Really, he does need to go to a new ffl. The laws are simple. For long guns, he can bring anything and everything EXCEPT "assault weapons" (unless modified to comply with California law by eliminating "evil" features). No worries with bolt guns or shot guns. He is NOT required to register any of them--although there is a theoretical issue for guns brought here after January 1, 2014 that I am not clear on (new guns purchased will have to be registered after that date, not sure if the law applies to transfers). As to handguns, again not much of an issue--the only thing prohibited is mags of greater than 10 rounds capacity. Handguns DO have to be registered, via a form you fill out and file with the DOJ along with a $19 fee.
