Lead
Thin 72-hour weekend pool. No new Sacramento, CA DOJ, DROS, or roster item. Friday’s CRPA “still a no in Sacramento” note is still in the pool and is not re-briefed. What a shop can actually use is company policy and long guns: Staccato dropped an ownership restriction on its lifetime warranty, and Savage added carbon-fiber-barrel Ultralite rifles. The rest is suppressor and brace copy a California civilian counter cannot stock, plus consumer 2A and history. No USCCA or Delta Defense item. No dated vote or two-week deadline in the titles.

Staccato drops ownership restriction on lifetime warranty
Staccato removed an ownership restriction from its lifetime warranty program. That is service-counter news, not a new SKU.
For a CA shopIf you already sell or service Staccato, read the new warranty terms before you quote a customer. No SKU or CA note in the pool.

ATF “list” and registration-free suppressor warning
A 2A lawyer says ATF’s anti-gun wing is keeping a list, tied in the slug to a registration-free suppressor warning. FFLs will get can and Form 4 questions. The pool is title-only.
For a CA shopNo California civilian silencer path from this headline. Do not tell a customer they can skip NFA paper. Keep selling only what you can legally transfer.

Threadlines
The 72-hour pool did not add a California statute or DROS change. Floor action is a Staccato warranty rewrite and Savage carbon-fiber Ultralite rifles, not a roster handgun. National suppressor and brace copy is still in the feeds; it is not California inventory.
