WELL Over a year ago I submitted a question to the ATF regarding the Mossberg Shockwave and building one from my own receiver. At the time I signed up for their weekly e-Newsletter. I guess they finally got around to adding me to their list...
No, I never did build it.
Anyway, I thought my very first, and why do I think it will be my only, newsletter from the ATF, might be of interest here.
PS: I am posting this as information only. I got no dog in this fight. I am just a citizen, not a manufacturer, not a member of law enforcement nor do I play one on TV.
Just like all cryptic messages and letters from the ATF I have a feeling this might be bump stock related, but who knows?...
Yes, they sent it twice in one email...

e-ATF Web Updates
Discontinuance of Accessory Classifications
Effective Immediately:
The Firearms Technology Industry Services Branch (FTISB) classifies firearms as defined by the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA) based on the configuration and the design features of the firearm as submitted by members of the industry.
Effective immediately, any requests for a determination on how an accessory affects the classification of a firearm under the GCA or NFA must include a firearm with the accessory already installed. Except in cases of conditional import determinations, FTISB will not issue a determination on an accessory unless it is attached to the submitted firearm.
If you have previously submitted a sample accessory for classification, FTISB will be returning your sample without classification. FTISB will contact you in the near future with further instructions to facilitate the return of your sample.
