[hypa]

So Im gonna pull the trigger today to incriminate myself under these draconian unconstitutional laws...

Since I have "MULTI" engraved for caliber I should choose "Firearm With Interchangeable Barrels" vs current config as ".223"??

Yes

[909bobby]

Has anyone had their rifle registration rejected?

[Dirk Tungsten]

So it is a Norinco ak 47 and it was legal when he got it but failure to register it as an aw back in 1999 or 2001 when they did it the first time means he now has an unregisterable aw? Is that correct?

Yup.

What exact wording do you recommend using in the comments section for a rifle with a muzzle brake? I hesitate to say "muzzle device is a muzzle brake, not a flash suppressor"
Should I be concerned that merely typing the words "flash suppressor" will raise a flag?

Maybe :
-RIFLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A MUZZLE BRAKE
-MUZZLE DEVICE IS A MUZZLE BRAKE
- RIFLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MUZZLE BRAKE TYPE MUZZLE DEVICE

What sounds best? again, I hesitate to even say the words "flash suppressor", and I don't want to mark the flash suppressor box if it doesn't have one.

"You should feel good after registering your "assault weapons" knowing that you may have saved lives."

All I get is this "The California Reporting Information System (CRIS) is currently unavailable.". I would think site availability would be critical to the legality of this.

CRIS goes down daily around 2330 to 2400 for reasons they never explained.

Nothing! You are allowed to have FH on registered AW. Just check all applicable features on your submission.

I'm just going by what I read in the assault weapons registration guide. There was some advice saying to put something in the comments about the rifle being able to use a barrel 16" and greater, and I thought something about muzzle devices. Or should I use the "less is more" approach? If I don't say something they may have a question, and if I do say something they may have a question.

I know I'm allowed to have a flash hider, and I know I need to check the box if that's what I have, but do these people know the difference between a flash hider and a muzzle brake? Are they going to see some device on the end of my barrel and ask what it is? Just figured that if in the comments it said "RIFLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MUZZLE BRAKE TYPE MUZZLE DEVICE" then this would answer that question

[reklezvoxer]

Yup.

So was it legal between when he got it and the first of this year or has it been illegal this whole time

[ers1978]

When registering- If I have 1 in my cart (not my pending cart) and I log out, will it still be in my cart later when I log on? Or do I need to pay before logging out to avoid losing what I've entered so far?

It gets moved to pending cart on log out or session time out.

When you log back in you have to move pending cart to regular cart before adding anything else to your cart as the bug in their system will not let you move it from pending cart once you add another one to cart. If you do this you will have to delete and reenter the one from pending cart to not have to do another transaction/$15

Same goes if you have two or three or four or....they will end up in pending cart.

I am not a lawyer, but without make and model it's hard to tell. It could possibly have been illegal this whole time.

So I just moved my volreg pending records to the Cart, went to Checkout, paid, got email receipt but not seeing anything in my account now?
"Pending Invoices (0)"

Nothing comes up when I click on "My Issue Log" either

Is this how it works??

[seainc]

Correct! That's how I did it add few a day then check out pay $15 for all.

Correct - Don't check the "flash hider" box, because it isn't one. Put a comment that says the muzzle device is a "muzzle brake, not a flash hider". That should suffice, and preemptively answer any questions they might have. I submitted a few with muzzle brakes like that, and DOJ never questioned them.
