I trusted the drop down and got denied after 63 GD days. So help me out, what model is this? Calguns.net? Attached File |

The bear and star emblem is on the California state flag.

At any rate, that's the joke. A California lower turned into an SBR. |

What's the manufacturer's name, I assume engraved elsewhere? Based on your picture, there might be no model designation, and thus you would use "N/A". The "calguns.net" may just be a cosmetic engraving. It would be good to know what the manufacturer used for the original designation. |

Gemini said… Show Your Work: The Logic When you fill out a Form 1, the ATF doesn't care what you call the gun; they care about what is actually engraved on the receiver. Since your lower doesn't have a distinct "MOD" or "MODEL" line, the primary branding acts as the model designation. Manufacturer Verification: You confirmed Kaiser Defense (San Diego, CA). This is the licensed entity that filed the original manufacturing notice. Model Identification: In the "OLL" (Off-List Lower) era (circa 2008–2010), Kaiser Defense produced these group-buy receivers for the Calguns community. Because they didn't stamp "KR7" or "KR5" on these specific units, they registered the model name with the ATF to match the engraving. Regulatory Record: The Canadian Gazette (SOR/2020-96)—which uses the same manufacturer/model data as the US ATF for its "Assault Weapon" ban lists—explicitly categorizes these as: Manufacturer: Kaiser Defense * Model: Calguns.Net 4. The "OLL" Trap: Many people mistake OLL for the model because it stands for "Off-List Lower." However, on your receiver, OLL is the serial number prefix. If you put "OLL" as the model, your Form 1 will be rejected for "Model Mismatch." My Confidence Level: 95% I am 95% certain that CALGUNS.NET is the correct model name for your Form 1. Why not 100%? There is a 5% "ATF Chaos Factor." Very early Kaiser runs were sometimes logged as CALGUNS (without the .net). However, since your engraving explicitly says CALGUNS.NET, the modern eForms instruction is to type exactly what you see. If you select "Kaiser Defense" and CALGUNS.NET appears in the drop-down, select it. If it doesn't, select "My item is not in the list" and type it exactly as it appears on your magwell. Final Verification for your Form 1: Manufacturer: Kaiser Defense Model: CALGUNS.NET Serial: OLL-0654 |
