Derya Arms Stands Strong for the Second Amendment: Important Update on State-Imposed Firearm Parts Restrictions

At Derya Arms, our mission has always been crystal clear: defend and advance the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. We design, build, and ship reliable firearms and components because we believe every responsible citizen deserves the tools to protect themselves, their families, and their freedoms. We proudly support organizations like Gun Owners of America (GOA) and consistently push back against unconstitutional restrictions wherever we can. That’s why we’ve engineered compliant options for even the most restrictive states while never compromising on quality or performance.

That said, we are a company that operates legally and responsibly. Following a recent review of evolving state regulations, other states are updating their restrictions on certain firearm components and accessories. As a result, these states are applying the same shipping restrictions to “assault weapon attachments” as they do for the firearms themselves in the following states:

• Connecticut
• Illinois
• New Jersey
• Washington

What this means for customers: Beginning May 15th, any product classified as an attachment, part, or kit that can be used to assemble or modify a restricted firearm will be subject to the same shipping limitations as the firearms themselves. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Pistol grips
• Collapsing or folding stocks
• Threaded barrels
• Muzzle devices (flash hiders, compensators, etc.)
• Other parts and conversion kits

These changes are driven directly by how these states define and regulate “assault weapons” — not just complete firearms, but the individual components that make them function. We want to be transparent: this is not a voluntary decision on our part. It is a direct result of state laws that treat everyday firearm parts the same as finished guns.

Across the country, gun-control legislation is no longer stopping at the firearm itself. States are increasingly targeting the very components that allow responsible owners to customize, maintain, repair, or upgrade their legally owned firearms. What started as “assault weapon” bans on rifles has expanded into restrictions on grips, stocks, barrels, and muzzle devices — parts that have been standard on sporting and defensive firearms for decades.

This creates real burdens for law-abiding gun owners:

• Harder to repair or upgrade existing firearms
• Limited options for personalization and performance
• Increased costs and complexity for compliant builds
• A chilling effect on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms

Make no mistake — Derya Arms is, has always been, and will always be 100% pro-Second Amendment. We fight for your rights every single day: through product development that maximizes performance within legal limits, through support for pro-2A organizations, and through transparent communication like this. Shipping restrictions like these don’t change our core belief that the Second Amendment is non-negotiable. They only reinforce why we must remain vigilant and vocal.

We will continue to serve our customers in these states with every compliant product we can legally ship. If you’re unsure how these updates affect your planned purchases, please reach out to your dedicated Service Professional right away — they’re here to help you navigate the options.

The fight for our rights never ends. We encourage every Derya customer to stay engaged: support Second Amendment organizations, contact your elected officials, and vote for candidates who respect the Constitution.

Thank you for trusting Derya Arms as your partner in responsible firearm ownership. We remain committed to delivering the highest-quality products while pushing back against any infringement on your rights.
