AW Registration Guide **3/18/2021 update: Registration may re-open soon**

^ All kinds of weird stuff happened there. Jeeze. Well, glad it is all sorted out now one way or another, even if it doesn't really matter anymore! On the plus side, if you keep them registered you can bring them into CA with you if you ever visit!

Your story seems to indicate that at least one person at DOJ is still processing this stuff, so that's good news for the people who are still waiting.

It's unbelievable (actually, not really) that DOJ has taken 3 years to process this stuff - when they only got something like 10% of the registrations that they expected to get. If they actually had gotten the 300k registrants they expected, there would be people waiting until 2050 for their letters.

Wow, BAJ475, that is an interesting outcome. On the other hand, knowing my luck, if I tell them the same story, they'd probably cancel the rest of the ones pending.

Mine is only about 2/3rd registered with paper in hand.

Still waiting.. 1 outstanding issue. No paper. No reply. Was kinda expecting a knock at the door...

All of my items in CFARS still shows "In Progress".

But did you get your registration confirmation letter(s)?

My registration confirmation letter arrived after much delay. And my CFARS records still show In Progress. Since I have the registration confirmation letter, I really don't care what CFARS shows.

Will they open up a new registration period for those who want to register after thinking about it for a while now?

Will they open up a new registration period for those who want to register after thinking about it for a while now?

Not unless they are forced to by judicial order (that survives appeal). Then again, if the Miller litigation is successful, there won't be a need for AW registration.

That's a joke question, right?

Right?

The whole point of a registration period is to "lock down" and put a hard limit -- forever -- on the number of people who can legally own "AWs"...

Offering a 2nd round would defeat their whole purpose of the 1st round.

I feel for you though, if you have only have featureless ones now, and you wished you'd registered some. I did a "half and half" with mine.

Update!!; CADOJ Firearms Bureau just had me clarify what FFL gunstore I picked up one of my AR pistols from. In place of where I listed the Gunstore I PURCHASED AR from, they instructed me to INSTEAD list the info of WHERE I HAD THE AR PISTOL “SHIPPED” to. This was the AR Pistol that still had status of ‘In Progress’.

Now for some reason BOTH my AR Pistols show “In Progress”, when the other one had shown status of COMPLETE..??? What the Hefner??, but I was not asked to do the same changes to the AR that was previously shown COMPLETE...???

I never received a confirmation letter either and had asked twice if I could at least get a letter for the COMPLETED AR.

[CandG]

Holy cow, I didn't realize there were still registrations waiting to be processed!

It took them over 2 years to process your registration, even though they only had 10% of the registrations that they anticipated. Imagine if they'd actually had all the registrations they expected - most people would be dead before they got their registration letters. Not that anyone in our state gov't cares.

[Pharmboy]

Just checked my status. One complete and one still in progress...

[DCH]

Pharmboy,

Did you purchase from one store and ship weapons to another FFL?, or did you
Do the transactions at one FFL?

As I posted above, I was just asked by DOJ to omit the store in Florida where I purchased my AR from, and told to just list the FFL I had my AR Pistol shipped to here in California..

[Pharmboy]

The one still in progress was an 80%er built as a single shot, then obtained a serial number, then registered as a pistol.

Just checked my status. One complete and one still in progress...

You have one that actually says status "Complete"?

[DCH]

Its just completely astounding one of mine went from In Progress, to Completed, then after numerous attempts to obtain a Letter of Approval, have it just go back to In Progress??? Im sure the next two years will be better than the previous two..
