Allllll-righty.....
Just got off the phone with Diedre at DESPP, she was very helpful. Some very good news, and surprising too.
First the good news.....both my EA and Olympic lowers will be fine, as the screen cap from the EA website will suffice as proof from manufacturer, but also they are familiar with the Olympic Arms receivers and have records there for serial matching as well. So I'm thinking I want to SBR the Oly since I want to keep my EA the way it is and not engrave, etc. Oly's aren't the greatest quality but this one is at least forged.
But here's the kicker....and DON you're going to love this. I indeed DO have to fill out the DPS-414-C that I posted above (!!). Yes, they are actually repurposing the assault weapon certificate of ownership previously only reserved for post-ban serials and only if you did it before 01/01/2014. I guess since this is a special circumstance as requested by ATF, the state is just using what they had before so they don't have to come up with a whole new form or what have you.
Crazy! But that's what it is...straight from the person who handles it. I have to mail this in since they're closing the office to people coming in except for those with appointments. Need to also get some thumbprints I guess from local police...or do I do it with the notary public when I get it signed? So good thing I was able to get through. Even though most gun store are closed today, it took a while with a lot of redialing and waiting on my land line.
So....good news, but more importantly, now we know for sure what's needed and what needs to be filled out. Maybe should include this as a sticky or something. Man I need a drink!
