After 90 days I successfully appealed my denial

On March 5th I submitted an application to register a lower receiver for a featureless build. Needless to say it was denied for barrel length issues(not sure what happened there). Anyway, I didn't know why it was denied until this week. I have been calling almost every week and even went in for in-person visit. Nothing helped. Noone was giving me a straight answer on why it was denied, and no denial letter was sent. I made 12 phone calls, 2 emails and a couple of in person visits. Everytime I called I was told they'll send it out but they didn't.

Anyway, I went in this week and asked for the reason and they told me it was the barrel length. And also the nice lady at the counter didn't even know what a lower receiver is. She kept asking me "what does this attach to?". I kept explaining the lower receiver IS the firearm but she couldn't get it. After a long discussion and going over the city code/law on the AWB she finally got it. I was annoyed but I was glad she took the time to understand and learn about it, instead of giving me a packaged answer and sending me away. I'll take that over being sent away with nothing tangible.

They are now requiring pictures of the firearm now, so I went to g&d assembled the rifle took pictures and used gemini to create a nice info graphic cross referencing the law with the parts on my rifle, and voila I got the approval. I'm glad this long and confusing ordeal is over. I hope I never go through that again.

P.S - Thanks r/lawblawg for the help.

Finally created a 'How-To' video for the Performance Trigger upgrade installation.

I remember a few people asked about the trigger upgrade, which I personally think is one of the most important upgrades on your Rost Martin. Here is a video of how to upgrade your trigger if you are interested. I'll leave it up here in case anyone runs into issues trying to do it themselves.

I'm at my wit's end with MPD regarding a denied registration. No one knows anything about it.

My registration of a lower for featureless rifle was denied and I still do not have a reason why it was denied. Its past the 60 day mark and no one at MPD is giving me a straight answer on why it was denied. It doesn't seem like there were any notes on their system. I called almost every week since the denied status appeared on the portal and at the 60 day mark I went in person with a copy of the application form just to give them context. They said they'll get back to me still nothing.

I called today and I had the most unprofessional conversation with one of their officers.
I told him "I submitted an application for a lower registration"
his response "Where did you think you called? This is MPD!"
Me "Yes, I know. I submitted an application for a lower receiver for a featureless build"
his response "We give out licenses.. we don't register lower receivers" (this statement is not even correct it clearly states on our registration card that it is NOT a License to carry)
me "Yes you do. I have successfully registered 2 of them in the past"
his response "What is your DOB? ... wait I'm going to put you on hold"

He then proceeds to put me on hold for over 20 minutes. After that, I realized he just hung up on me without hanging up on me.

I do not know how to proceed from here. If anyone here have any idea on what to do next please let me know.

Not sure if ya'll are aware but Canik just launched a newer/updated parts website. www.canik.com where you pick your model and they have pretty much every single replacement part there. I myself picked up a metal sear housing for my TTI combat. It's already about to ship. If you already have a canikusa account you may have received an email about it already.

A few bill drills drawing from the holster (ignore the noisy drone)

Run a few bill drills with my RM1C. I was there to zero a rifle and put in a few rounds through the RM1C. Seeing the time it looks kike I need to run these drills more. 3 seconds is too slow.
