Pretty straight forward.
A couple of initial thoughts.
1) The AW form can accomodate only one AW. So you have to do one form per AW.
2) The AW form must be notarized with a thumb print. Major pain in the ass if you own multiple AWs.
3) The AW form asks for a SSN. I'd suggest leaving it blank.
4) The Large Capacity Magazine (LCM) form asks for receipts unless you are willing to do an affidavit attesting that all mags were acquired lawfully. I'd suggest doing the affidavit, since its easier, and frankly, I've got mags that I got when i was a teenager. I'm not going to dig around for receipts to something that was previously unregulated. Not even for 1.
4) The LCM declaration form at one point calls itself an application. It is NOT an application. They aren't approving anything. You are telling them what you have.
I am thinking of submitting an AW registration form with an Schedule A, listing all my AWs. I will be including things like pistol grips and mag release buttons. Since by statute, any part or combination of parts that can be used to turn a firearm into an AW is an AW. So it is only prudent to register every flash hider, mag release button, gas tube, and pistol grip I have kicking around as an AW. I suggest others do the same. I plan to be AGONIZINGLY compliant with the law and do my part to burry them in as much paperwork as I can find.
Here's a link to the page with the docs.
