Any Other Weapon (AOW)s in 2026?

I need one more!
Bro, yes you do! I also am thinking about going through this again, I'm gonna try to get another Serbu Super Shorty for parts or a Safety Harbor KEG-12. I'm not sure yet.
 
My AR pistol was just approved; Shockwave still pending. Encouraging and not at the same time, because I submitted the Shockwave first.
Shockwave pending still while the AR pistol was approved makes me think my theory about the CA DOJ and 29186 is true. Very disappointing

Yes, I am praying it gets approved. I have my AR and PGO shotgun still pending, nothing has changed on my end. I need to ask the guy on Reddit who had an approval what caliber his was.

Did you have to show the atf that it complies with state assault weapon laws?

I did not fill in anything in the application that wasn't required, and I don't recall doing that.

The ATF form1 does not ask anything about state laws.
You can go signup for eforms and do an application yourself to see what's asked-for in the form.
There's currently no cost to form1 an AOW.
You can go all the way to the end and then simply cancel instead of signing the form.
