Guys -
Is it kosher to sell magazine bodies from another state to a CA resident, or will this bring the feds down on my house at 0230 one morning?

There's no federal law prohibiting >10rnd mags in CA so the feds won't prosecute you.
If it's JUST the mag bodies I'd say you're okay. If you're sending a bunch of disassembled parts (spring, follower, body, and floor plate) that can be constructed into a CA defined "hi-cap" mag then I wouldn't.
Just 20 round mag bodies
Can't legally do it by Cali law:
At a minimum, the receiver of the mag bodies is breaking the law.Penal Code 32311
(a) Except as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section 32400) of this chapter and in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, commencing January 1, 2014, any person in this state who knowingly manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, buys, or receives any large capacity magazine conversion kit is punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment. This section does not apply to a fully assembled large-capacity magazine, which is governed by Section 32310.
(b) For purposes of this section, a "large capacity magazine conversion kit" is a device or combination of parts of a fully functioning large-capacity magazine, including, but not limited to, the body, spring, follower, and floor plate or end plate, capable of converting an ammunition feeding device into a large-capacity magazine.

The problem with a grey area is that is it really worth the risk? I live in PA and like to deal locally and I get a lot of guys from Maryland, NJ, and NY trying for things that are, at best, questionable in those states. I've gotten to the point if it is not tactical nylon, a holster, or a light I will not deal with them because I simply cannot keep up with their convoluted laws and I don't trust the powers that be in those states to not try to screw me even if I am righteous in the sale because it will cost me money in the long run. Those are just the ones who are in the grey area, I don't want to talk about the guys who are blatantly looking to break the law. My rule of thumb, if it doesn't feel 100% I pass it by, even if it means I don't sell something I am looking to sell.

WRONG.
Selling magazine bodies "only" to someone in CA is 100% legal. It is not considered a magazine or a rebuild kit.
