IL PDs on AUUW / UUW / unserialized-frame / Glock-switch / LCM calendars — pending Criminal Code rewrite parked in Assignments, not present 720 ILCS 5/24-1. Isolate the charged slice (FRT-as-machinegun, HCM-equipped firearm, unserialized-transfer class bump, or consecutive add-on) and do not treat the Act title as a single count. CA PDs: portable as AB 1127 / AB 1263 / LCM analogue — not a California charge.
