Seriously this is the logical thing right? My AO INSISTS to see it in it's E-cat config when she takes the serial number and grants the endorsement.

She's tricking you mate, next time you'll go in there with your deadly assault weapon and be surprised by two men in blue, who'll enthusiastically calm you with their night sticks before hurling you into the nearest dank pit of despair.

But yeah, my AO always reminds me not to bring anything in that's already E cat.

Haha, so she is asking you to put MSSA parts onto a non endorsed firearm (ie specific to that firearm), thereby creating a new MSSA without them giving you the approval prior.

My last one I had from A to E, was sitting in the safe with no pistol grip, stock or flash hider, but the AO wanted to see it complete in A-Cat form, so I had to put a thumbhole stock and thread protector on it to show it did indeed exist as a genuine A-cat and I wasn't building E-Cats from scratch.

Logical doesn't come into it unfortunately.

Moral of the story, always have a spare thumbhole stock in the safe.

Ask her next time if it's ok to drive your car into the station to then set the test to gain a drivers license (although that's exactly what I did for my drivers license all those years ago hehe)
